Greeting Seibertronians! Ready for a blast from the past? The Verge website has reported that Hasbro are to release new four Tiger Electronics LCD handhelds based on the handhelds released during the 90s. These new devices will be modeled just like thd old ones, LCD screen and all. There will be no new features passed on to them, keeping the nostalgic value intact.

The first four releases are Sonic 3, the Little Mermaid, X Men Project X and Transformers Generation 2!



These are set to retail for $14.99 and will launch this fall.

What do you think about these? Do you have any fond memories of games like this? Will you get this one for old times sake? Let us know in the Energon Pub and stay tuned to Seibertron for all the latest news and reviews.

That's awesome! Those Tiger handhelds can be great time killers. Game quality was hit or miss and once I got a Gameboy the Tiger games where sent to where batteries start to leak.

So is this a new Transformers game or is it re-release? Either way, should be a cheap afternoon of fun

EDIT: already available to preorder at Gamestop.

EDIT2: appears to all be new games built on old ass hardware. That's retro cool.

If you like time killers built on old-ass retro tech then I have great news for you!

Heavy Metal War is available right now on the site you are already using!

Retro is in right now, with mini arcades of all sorts popping here and there. So to see classic Tigers games coming back is no surprise. I may get the G2 Transformers one.

Also...

I wonder if this being G2 is just the tip of the iceberg? Transformers: War for Cybertron: Hyper Colors

I remember having both a Batman (I think it was Batman Forever because I think you eventually had to square off against Riddler...and I had a wrestling one from back before the World Wrestling Federation was forced to become World Wrestling Entertainment. You as Hulk Hogan squared off against "Macho Man" Randy Savage with Miss Elisabeth on the outside of the ring trying to hit you with a steel chair

Never knew there was a TF game. I had the Power Rangers and Sonic 3 games. They were fun. I remember with the Power Ranger game you could actually stop the monsters from growing by grabbing Lord Zedd's growth potion.

Emgo316 have just released a video review of the Tiger Transformers G2 game!



I'm never going to order it online, but this could be hard to resist if encountered in the wild. Who can survive a Tiger encounter on the wild after all?
