    you get over 50 games with this collection and a lot of custamizable options like borders on the screen of challenges for some of the games and thier is a mirror mode that lets you play the games levels backwards

    It's much more than just a collection of retro games. It's a nostalgia simulator. Instead of some plain main menu that you can click into each game from, the main menu is a bedroom with all the 50+ games lined up on a shelf that you click on to put the cartridge inside the Genesis. You get to change the bedroom settings to pick the time of day. You can customize the TV screen. The room is decorated with some novelty items from the games. I had a Sega Genesis 3 and didn't have a ton of games as a kid, but almost all of the ones I did have are on here. I still have my console and games, and they work, but they're in fragile condition, and I don't want to risk breaking them by playing with them. This Switch game solves that issue. I think it would be best to play with a Genesis controller for the Switch. I play with a wireless Switch controller, and I can't seem to get a hang of the button placements from one game to the next. Nevertheless, it is very fun to revisit some of my favorite childhood games and to also try out "new" ones that I never had, all wrapped up in one affordable game.

    Swag Genesis Classics are great. You have all the access for those childhood classic games without getting the Sega Genesis console. Pretty good value overall at a great price.

    Sega Genesis Classics is a great compilation of games but excludes some absolute classics like Ecco the Dolphin. It is really awesome to play these games on the go and I recommend this to any Sega fan

    My great nephew loves this game. He played it for days after giving it to him. The Nintendo Switch is a great game player and the Genesis is definitely a favorite one.

    This game is great! Has all the great old school games from sega. Such as sonic the hedgehog 1 & 2. The graphics seem to be enhanced as well for the switch.

    I have been looking for a collection of classic games that have both Vectormans on it for so long. But I am overjoyed that it has both Toejam and Earls, and Beyond Oasis.

    My only real complaint is the main menu. Not as well organized or put together as the NHK 40th. Would like to see a game preview as you scroll over the game. Otherwise, some really good games that play as I remember.

    There is little debate that this collection is a must have for the Switch. The classic gaming on a portable machine is great. All reproduced in a great presentation screen with many bells and whistles.

    This collection has a large library of sega genesis games. They all run perfectly on the switch, especially in handheld mode. The Phantasy Star & Shining Force games are worth the purchase price alone.
