Sonic the Hedgehog just turned 34, and while the Sega mascot and I are the same age, I somehow forgot to celebrate his big day. That’s not to say I usually wait till the blue blur’s birthday to run through his best adventure, but I’m currently paying belated homage to the series using the perfect handheld.
The best Sonic game, in my humble opinion, is Sonic the Hedgehog 2 for the Sega Genesis/Mega Drive, and I’ve been playing through it this week on the Anbernic RG ARC-D. Before someone tries to revoke my retro console purist card, I still largely play the speedy side scroller on original hardware. That said, this best gaming handheld contender takes queues from the Sega Saturn, meaning it feels like an OG ’90s console.
Before I dive into what the RG ARC-D has to offer Sega fans, let me combat the Sonic the Hedgehog 2 naysayers. The 1992 side scroller holds a permanent place in my heart, in part because it’s what brought me and the love of my life together. And, while that originally happened at a retro gaming event I used to run, we both love using Anbernic’s handheld to replay the iconic sequel on the couch.
