What Mobile - May '09

"For nostalgic gamers and anyone who missed out on playing Sonic when he was still king of consoles, this is a must-have. It's a miniaturised Mega Drive that comes preloaded with 15 classic games, including Golden Axe, Sonic and Knuckles and, er, Fatal Labyrinth. Maybe skip that last one."
MSN Tech & Gadgets - May '09

"Retro gamers will be thrilled to reconnect with this twin-player console and its fashionably dated 1990s games."

Now Thanks to this handheld Sega Megadrive you can overcome that failure which has bugged you since the age of 11. T3

A great value treat for both nostalgic thirty-somethings and younger gamers alike. Daily Mirror

This is a brilliant product. For those old enough to remember the games you will be in seventh heaven, that is for sure. However when you do get past the nostalgic stage, you actually look forward to playing the games, as they are still as addictive as ever. CrowdedBrain.co.uk

You get a nicely designed piece of hardware (with TV-out) and a stack of old titles to browse through for under thirty quid, and if you grew up with a Mega Drive under your telly, it's worth it for the novelty value alone. And let's not forget - in the context of most (13 to be precise) of these having been released via the Wii's Virtual Console channel individually at eye watering prices, that's not bad value at all. Eurogamer

10/10 - I am giving this system a perfect score as it has no flaws or faults that I could find, and for the price of a Nintendo DS game you get 20 games for the same price. www.gamershub.org
