Sega 3D Classics Collection - Nintendo 3DS

This collection has two Genesis games, five arcade games, and three Master System games (one is hidden). Every game works flawlessly on 3DS and has new features added in including 3D which doesn't affect performance at all. Two of the included Genesis games and three of the arcade games are available separately on the 3DS eShop although their normal price is the same as this collection. For those that purchased those games on the eShop already, the ones in this collection are exactly the same except for including little tips when loading each game from the main menu. All of the games except Altered Beast are fun to play. Altered Beast hasn't aged well compared to the rest. Power Drift, Puyo Puyo 2, and Altered Beast feature local multiplayer for two players, but each player must have their own copy.

I grew up during the 80's movie 3-D craze and birth of home the video game units. I have been a Sega fan since they released the Sega Master System in the 80s. The main reason I purchased that system was that it could play 3-D games on it. My love of video games and 3-D movies was combined! Flash forward a few decades and now I can play some of my favorite Sega Classics, in 3-D, without glasses, within a hand-held device. Each game on this unit really shows off the 3-D well. Sonic is incredible in 3-D. Maze Runner (or Maze Hunter as it was when I had it on SMS) is just like I played it back in the day. The main reason I purchased a 3DS-XL was for these games! This didn't disappoint. If you are a classic Sega fan and love 3-D, you really can't go wrong with this!

The collection overall makes me nostalgic for the golden age of 16-bit gaming, and though Sega did a great job with the presentation of the game, the relatively small number of titles quickly left me wanting more. I never had a chance to play Power Drift or Galaxy Force II in arcades, but just having an opportunity to play these for the first time didn't make me feel like I got my money's worth with this collection. Again, not bad, but I do feel a little shortchanged when you compare this with something like Sonic's Genesis Collection.

M2 has provided one of the best collections of retro games to date. All ten included games are masterfully recreated and brimming with screen, sound and version options. The best example in this package is Fantasy Zone IIW. The gang at M2 not only created a great port of the Master System title but also but created an arcade version of the game that feels like it's existed for decades. This cart is stacked with content and perfect for any retro enthusiast.

This is a great bundle. All the games included (Except Altered Best) Are definite winners. Fantasy Zone 2 and Sonic 1 are my favorites. On top of adding 3D effects to these games, each game has tons of bonus features. Including different viewing options, ability to play different international versions of the game, and some like Fantasy Zone receive completely new bonus modes. Definitely worth picking up.

You can tell a lot of love went into this game. These games are excellent in 3d and are a must for fans of classic sega arcade/console games. Developer M2 did an amazing job porting these games and making them ring true to their original build while adding excellent 3d effects. Also, The included sticker decals are a really nice touch.

If you enjoyed the Sega Genesis era, this is a great way to enjoy 10 classic title on your 3DS anywhere you go. Most of the games are high quality. A couple of games, like Puyo Puyo, didn't even come out in the U.S. Definitely worth picking up. This will be a game that is going to be expensive in the future because collectors will want it.

This is a must buy for the 3DS, as it collects several of Sega's best Arcade games from back in the day. Kids today can't play with the original hardware anymore, but this collection has been painstakingly recreated to match the video fidelity of the originals. This may cost quite a few quarters but it's more than worth it.
