    I got this Saga game back in Aug 2020 along with 4-5 other games for my grandsons birthday in Sept.! His other 4 cousins all play in our game consoles!

    This collection of fun classic Sega games is really great on the switch. Play them at home or take them on the go. Lots of fun here

    I want to recommend this title but unfortunately some of the games have very noticeable input lag and it can become distracting. Hopefully they fix it with a patch update...

    I mainly bought this game for Sonic 3D Blast, which is one Sonic game out of many that hasn't come to Switch through Sega Ages.

    Welcome back to being a kid again. These games play very smoothly and take you back to your childhood. Being able to rewind the games is helpful for some of those tough levels that you may not have been able to beat as kid. The wife and I have spent several nights have a great time playing this.

    If you played video games in the early 90's, then you played most of these games! Picture perfect, lots of fun and I was able to introduce my son to these classics! These games are replay friendly and the fact that you can save states to pick up later on the Switch just cements it - get it now!

    It’s difficult to switch between games. Once in the game it’s fun and brings back memories.

    I love these games, wish they had more of what I played when I was addicted to swag. Either way it’s fun and the switch is my favorite control system.

    I ended up giving this away after I had a hard time getting the games to load and play. I don't think converting the old games to this format worked very well. All the games have a weird frame around the screen that I found distracting, and I learned it did not contain the same version of Sonic 2 that I originally had on Game Gear or on Wii. I learned there were 2 versions of that game made, which was the main reason I bought this, and it didn't have the one I grew up playing. I wish it stated what format it had included, and it would have saved me time and money. I also didn't find the main menu user friendly. I ended up just fighting it far too much and the pixelation hurt my eyes. The Wii and original versions of these games were not all at this resolution. I would give it a break if it was an issue with converting it to a modern system, but Wii is fairly modern, and the games don't look this bad on that platform. I got this as a replacement for the original Wii going offline, but it was not a good replacement.

    This is an excellent group of games. The reason I’m giving it 4 stars instead of 5 is that the games do not display full screen, even in handheld mode.

    There's been a ton of these Sega classic packages released, but this one is the best I've played. Tons of options (Kid Chameleon FTW) and a really fun presentation boost its fun factor.

    This is a wonderful compilation of classics from my childhood. It is an absolute joy to have it in my collection. The game's emulator does, however, seem to be a bit laggy with a slightly low response time.
