Awesome. I hope this sells well enough to warrant a volume 2.

 

[brett2]

Sorry for those disappointed but I'll be buying this. I wonder why some of the already released downloadable Sega 3D games aren't included in this collection though.

 

[Man God]

I could honestly take it or leave it. Putting in 3D isn't exactly going to get me excited.

It isn't just 3D. New modes, perfect emulation, sometimes improved framerates, sometimes extra versions of the games.

 

[TheOnlyOneHeEverFeared]

I'll take a dip on it if it comes to PAL/UK, bet it won't though, or it'll be digital only.

 

[stuminus3]

I want this but there's no way I'm EVER dropping $50 CAD on this thing. What the hell, Sega!?

I've seen Sega take a lot of shit over the years but I've never seen them take the blame for Canada's crappy currency woes. This is a new one. :lol

 

[Beer Monkey]

Um, this is a great deal. Wish I hadn't bought Galaxy Force II already, but still.

 

[Semblance]

lol @ the tears. This collection's dope. Puyo Puyo 2 and Power Drift, plus some older 3D classics I haven't bought yet.

 

[Piston Hyundai]

It isn't just 3D. New modes, perfect emulation, sometimes improved framerates, sometimes extra versions of the games.

Well, what does the 3D version of Puyo Puyo 2 have to offer over the version that the US already got?

 

[Triple Da G.O.D!]

This is amazing!

As somebody who owns the Japanese versions of both collections is I'm glad to see this come over!

Hopefully this sells well enough to justify the 1st one coming over as well seeing as those games have fixes the eShop versions don't.

Thanks, SEGA!

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

He drew the covers for both installments of the Archives.

 

[The_Kid]

Are these all the 3ds games Sega has put on the eshop too? I'm just wondering for completion sake would it make more sense to buy this or am I still missing some of the 3D classics?

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

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

It is his art!

So did anyone notice that the boxart was drawn by Ken Sugimori and credited to GAME FREAK?

I wonder what's up with that.

Sega can't draw a good Sonic anymore. Of course they had to call in the master.

 

[Camjo-Z]

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

That's because it is.

The SEGA 3D Classics Collection will be released for the Nintendo 3DS system in stores and digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS, with retail packaging that features original artwork by Pokémon art director, Ken Sugimori.

He did the art for the other collection too:

 

[Demoskinos]

SEGA is the masters of just absolutely being able to disappoint at every single turn.

 

[Veal]

yes ill buy all of these games again sega!

 

[emb]

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.

Yeah, the rom dumps aren't really exciting you're right. 3D Classics at least bring something new to the table.

 

[Z3M0G]

Wait, no Shinobi III? Streets of Rage?

 

[Slermy]

This is fantastic. I'll probably triple dip:

1.) I have most of these games already on my 3DS.
2.) I want Puyo Puyo digitally.
3.) I want that sweet cover art.

 

[brett2]

That's because it is.

I really want to get this collection too..

 

[bman94]

Power Drift will finally be mines.

 

[SonicMegaDrive]

It is his art!



Sega can't draw a good Sonic anymore. Of course they had to call in the master.

Not gonna lie. That is the best looking Sonic I've seen in decades.

 

[Geraldo_Ray]

Not sure what people were really expecting from that announcement, but either way I'll probably get this for Puyo Puyo.

 

[minor effort]

What is kind of a crime is that so far none of the retail compilations of the 3D Classics line have included Super Hang-On or After Burner II.

Yes, I already have them digitally - twice, in the case of Super Hang-On - but they feel strangely forgotten in the line.

The retail releases could be a bit more comprehensive, to be honest.

 

[Darcotik]

- No Volume 1.
- No boxed version in Europe as usual.

 

[Mr-Joker]

It's nice but meh, I already have 3D classic Sonic and Galaxy Force II so I will pass.

The box art is nice though, then again Sugimori's art is pretty good.

That's because it is.



He did the art for the other collection too:

 

[aadiboy]

Are they going to release the new games separately on the eshop? I don't want to buy the collection just for a few new games and others that I already have.

 

[BasilZero]

;(


Was expecting more than this lol

 

[Camjo-Z]

Not all but most. So seeing people whine about people "whining" to this announcement is really amusing. The reason many of us are dismissive of this announcement, as it has been explained over and over in this very thread, is that this is just a physical release for games many of us already own.

My favorite post was the dude who said "YOU STILL GET 4 NEW (1980) GAMES (For $29.99 plus tax).

Good stuff.

If you already own all the games and think $30 is too much to pay for 4 collection-exclusive ports then feel free to voice your opinion, it's the people who come in and go "NOT SHENMUE HD? SHIT ANNOUNCEMENT" that are being obnoxious.

 

[Rudiano]

What the hell is wrong with you people? This is a goddamn amazing collection.

3DS....nuff said

 

[mobilesworking]

Once your tears have dried, come join those of us who are properly excited for this collection. If you haven't enjoyed M2's astounding conversion work you're in for a goddamn treat.

 

[MegaManTrigger]

I hope Sega starts considering releases of their other games. Their Saturn and Dreamcast offerings deserve a lot more exposure.

As usual, people got overly hyped for no reason.

 

[Rlan]

I really want to get this collection too..

Sega honestly fucked up by not having at least Sonic 1 on the first collection, and Sonic 2 on the next. It's the only way they could ever bring those over to the west.

 

[AmyS]

Yay. I don't have to buy a Japanese 3DS to play Power Drift.

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

3DS....nuff said

So...this is a goddamn amazing collection that you take with you everywhere you go?

I still don't see the issue here.

 

[Joqu]

Ah, I missed that this hasn't been announced for Europe yet. Fingers crossed. :S

3DS....nuff said

I'm gonna assume you're simply trying to explain those people's reasoning and not complaining about the platform yourself because that really wouldn't be anything but a shitpost.

 

[PassiveObserver]

3DS....nuff said

This is a collection of 3DS games. Make no mistake, these were (re)built from the ground up for 3DS.

 

[oneida]

Swag. Didn't buy any of them separately. Told yall not to fall into your hype.

guess you won't be playing half the 3ds classics

 

[TheHolyTurnip]

I'd have been stupid hyped if they threw in Shining Force I & II

Spoiler

and III!!!

but as is stands.... Eh, OK.

 

[IrishNinja]

maaaan, this is an awesome birthday surprise! getting vol 2, most of these ones i didnt pick up yet either...plus some extras! hoping we get the other down the road, no idea why some of ya'll are down on this

 

[Gaogaogao]

fuck it doesnt come with all the games

 

[StereoVsn]

So... Is PowerDrift going to be available separately. That's about the only game I am interested in that I already don't have.

 

[oneida]

FWIW, i have all the 3D Classics released so far except Ecco.

honestly, fantasy zone 2 might be my favorite. it's crazy good. i dont even really like the first game.

 

[Sumio Mondo]

fuck it doesnt come with all the games

That's what I'm disappointed with. Small ass collection there.

 

[MegaManTrigger]

3DS....nuff said

And why is that a bad thing? These games were rebuilt to take advantage of the 3DS features. Some games went even further (you can now spin dash in Sonic 1).

 

[Inuhanyou]

What a friggen lame collection. Will we never get another 'Sonic's Genesis collection' for current gen? Over 30 great genesis titles with unlockables as well.

We need an even bigger version of that in 1080p

 

[OverBlood 3]

3DS....nuff said

They're in 3D you dunce. Where else are they going to come out?




Meanwhile in Europe...

 

[sixteen-bit]

I imported the 2 JP compilations cuz I had no hope for this releasing stateside. Will double dip. Super hyped!

 

[sechsterangriff]

How useless is SEGA Europe? So useless...

 

[E_Darkness]

How useless is SEGA Europe? So useless...

Waiting on that Yakuza 0 announcement...

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Awesome. Power Drift!! Can't wait for this.

LOL @ some of these reactions, by the way. Clearly many of you aren't aware of just how awesome the 3D Classics series is.

 

[DannyDanger]

Sega is so painfully out of touch with reality...

Spoiler

Is what i would say if Yakuza 0, wasnt coming west!!!!!
