The Switch is becoming more and more a great home for many collection-style games. They work better than other consoles on Nintendo's hybrid because you can take all those classics with you on the go, which makes the purchase even more appealing.

This collection is this generation's presentation of 50 Genesis classics (and not-so-classic). There are some strange decisions (such the way the a few games are on the nearly empty third shelf. There were also some strange game selections. But it is a nice piece of nostalgia/history in one place.

Since Nintendo cant do their virtual console right, just yet, Sega jumps in with 50 games for $30! Do I have to say more? A handful of games there are top notch RPGs with hours of gameplay. If you like retro games this I a mute buy!

A wonderful collection of games that originally appeared in the halcyon era of the 16bit consoles. I was an SNES kid back in the day, so I was very excited to spend some time with games I only saw briefly at friends' houses.

Great classics in one cartridge! Takes you back to some missed games. Sega was a great system at its time and this is a great way to revisit some games.

I am enjoying this game and glad I purchased it. Being an 80s baby I grew up with a SEGA and owned most of these games. A few key games are missing like Sonic 3 and Sonic and Knuckles (which is why I didn't give it 5 stars) but overall a good game selection and good gameplay.

Having it on PS4 isn’t enough. It was a bit weird that the Switch version was released along side the other two from the start. But here it is and i’ll admit I double dipped. It does feel right at home on Nintendo’s platform.

Great little game to have in your Nintendo Switch collection. Took down 1 star because Online multiplayer although doable it suffers from major slowdown and it almost makes it unplayable. Despite that it's awesome to have some of these classics on the go.

Great bright colors, great sound and no better way to revisit your childhood in the 80's and 90s. Bought for my 12 year old son who wanted it for sonic , but ended up with over 50 extra sega games

I absolutely love this collection! The only negative is that there are no extras (prior Genesis compilations contained developer interviews, arcade titles, etc.). I haven't noticed any input lag in the games.

I like the variety of old school games it has. I like that I can play with my brother too with his switch and play 2 players on the games. Neat games and definitely a change of pace from what I normally buy. Plays on the Nintendo Switch Lite too

If you grew up playing Sega games you will love this classic from the pass. It will bring back memories and put you back into gaming if you have stopped. You will enjoy playing these games with your children, and they will enjoy playing the games with you.

All the nostalgia

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.

If you're looking to play Genesis games legally on the Switch, this pack is the one for you. Word to the wise, this Genesis collection does NOT include Wonder Boy in Monster World nor Wonder Boy III: The Dragon's Trap, as Collections on other platforms do.
