And this is hype worthy, so I don't see the problem.
People who concluded that "CLASSICS? OH MY GOD SEGA IS CURING WORLD HUNGER AND CANCER TOMORROW AT THE SAME TIME" do it to themselves.
Isn't that the fault of the Canadian dollar?
Well, they did say it was a new game. Although I saw this coming when they removed the post. They probably realised their mistake
It was either this or a new Sonic anyway, I don't know where people were getting Jet Set Radio from

I feel bad for my homie Canadian 3DS owners.
Do US region 3DS carts not work on Canadian 3DS systems?
Technically it is a new game, just with a delayed release :V

Yay, a Puyo Puyo game getting a western release without needlessly altered graphics!
Now release PuyoPuyoTetris, and I'll happily buy an English version, too!
O don't buy much for 3DS at all... but I could make an exception here. I do enjoy what little I've played of the 3D classics line.

Is the art by Ken Sugimori? His style is very distinctive. I love it.
The collection itself is kinda unexciting though...

Companies have been SOMEWHAT forgiving with pricing for things since the dollar began its freefall into the abyss? but this is just insane (although most likely a very accurate conversion). These are the end times!

They're seriously just leaving Puyo Puyo 2 unlocalized? I know it's just a puzzle game, but that's lame as shit.

I do hope the other titles that were never released on the eshop will be put up there as well. Otherwise that is a bit wrong to screw over the people that have been supporting the 3D remakes so far.
The ones that thought that single tweet could mean JSR HD, Shenmue Collection or Panzer Dragoon Saga HD.
They do this to themselves every single time.
We'd have people disappointed that Sega didn't pull Shenmue 3 out of nowhere if it didn't already exist.
The best you're going to get out of Sega of America projects are compilations and localizations. HD/PC ports are almost entirely the domain of Sega Europe. Neither of them independently do major new game announcements unless it's an IP by one of the studios directly under them.

At least it's in the collection, I'm cool with it.
There is no PC port on par with these.

Like what?
If you're thinking about Bayo 1 and Vanquish, are those classics?
They're just a generation old.
I really not getting the expectations people were having. "Fans of the classics" doesn't channel those games to me.

Besides this is only January, we've got more months to come for announcements etc.

Was pondering getting the 2DS but this collection basically made getting a New 3DS (XL) mandatory.

I'm really quite excited about this collection, and I hope they also do a volume 2 with the other remaining eshop and some more unreleased 3D games. M2s emulation efforts on the 3DS are spectacular, I bought a lot of those games despite my "don't like digital only games" stance and played them... a lot (Outrun, Hangon, Sonic 2, Streets of Rage 1&2, Gunstar Heroes...). So I would be glad to add those games to my physical collection, as well. If this comes to Europe, I will gladly get this for Puyo Puyo 2 and Power Drift alone 
If anything, the selection for this particular collection is rather weak overall (it features Altered Beast and Thunder Blade, both really overrated 'classics' IMO... that alone hits it down a bit), hence my hope for another one after this.
Sorry for all those people who seemed to believe this would be a "bigger" announcement - I would also be thankful to receive Skies of Arcadia HD, more Jet Set Radio, or Shenmue HD collections. But in other threads, the retail Japanese 3D Classics collections from M2 were actually requested by many fans. And this together with the Valkyria Chronicles remake for west, new Yakuza games coming, apparent return of classic Sonic for the anniversary... I think SEGA really is now listening more to their hardcore crowd again, and this collection is part of them listening (even though it might not be exciting to everyone). I see this as good news.

AWESOME!
Nice to see Puyo, Power Drift, and the two (or three if MS FZ1 is also in) Master System games are coming over!
Kinda wish they put ALL the games in, that would've been AMAZING!

Meh, wanted Power Drift only, won't spend that price for one game.
Also, holy shit at CA$ 44.99.

3DS only? Why? Previous collections had more games.

Will buy for sure. Want to support these great ports in any way possible.
Surprised to see so many people disappointed?

I honestly didn't expect a retail release, but I'm happy this is coming out. M2 goodness and the Ken Sugimori box art? SOLD.

I was expecting a terrible mobile game so I'm happy.

One less thing I have to import so that's cool.
The only real disappointment is the April release date. Why so late?

So is this the downloadable titles that were released in Collection 1 in Japan combined with the bonus games from Collection 2?
Interested... but it'd be nice if there was some form of discount for people who purchased the originals. It's not impossible for that to be offered - similar things have appeared on eShop before - so here's hoping.
Edit: No, actually, looking at it, it's a mix of titles from both Series.

Finally! I've been basically begging for a western retail release of these for awhile now. I only own Galaxy Force 2 digitally, so the rest are extremely welcome.
Thanks Sega!
Thanks Sega!
3D classics collection is actually pretty cool.
I thought that like... Sonic 2 and SoR 2 had been 3d-ified before. Nothing here really perks me up, though I might still grab the game some day. (Actually Galaxy Force sounds interesting.)
I prefer to get the actual carts over anything. And failing that, there are much fuller collections on PSP, PS360, and even those aftermarket Sega licensed handhelds (I have one <.<).

Because they've been altered to display in 3D for the 3DS screen?
Seriously, you folks haven't heard of the 3D Classics line before? Sega's been putting these games out on 3DS since 2013, and Nintendo was doing it before that.
minor effort

Most of those are simply emulated Genesis collections, so yeah, they usually have a higher quantity of games per dollar, but you're not really getting anything remarkable out of them.
Plus the 3D Classics line has a higher focus on arcade titles, which I'm vastly more interested in seeing than another line of Genesis ports, to be honest.

I could honestly take it or leave it. Putting in 3D isn't exactly going to get me excited.
good, those charlatans need not go with censoring the purest of puzzle games from the east, nor dare whisper the idea.

It was probably mentioned already but that looks like Sugimori's art.
