    Great to play sonic again, but the rest of the games are barely memorable and not fun to play anymore. Glad it was on sale. Also, make it easy to play the games. This game simulates a tv room and you have to choose the cartridges and load them in the game.

    As far as classic games go, it has a few oldies that bring back some memories but the majority of the games were poor sellers.

    It has a lot of games, but sometimes the emulator can be a little wonky. Overall it plays pretty good and it's cool to have oldschool Genesis games on the Switch.

    A fantastic collection with a glaring flaw.

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It's fantastic to see such a great collection of Genesis games in one spot, and it's even better that I can take them on the go with my Nintendo Switch. Thirty bucks for 50 games is a no-brainer. The games play exactly like I remember and the ability to fast forward, rewind, and save/load states in an instant is a nice little addition. However, it greatly saddens me that there's no way to universally re-map the buttons for each game. Fortunately some of the games offer re-mapping controls as a game feature, but I was real bummed to find that I couldn't properly use my 8bitdo M30 bluetooth controller properly with most of the games. With all the features this collection has to offer you'd think reassigning controls would be one of them. Hopefully this is something they can patch in later. Aside from that I have no complaints about this collection and highly recommend it to any Sega nerd!
