Nine Classic Sega Games Now Available on Nintendo 3DS in One Collection

Sega are not unfamiliar with introducing their classic video games on newer game consoles. For example, Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection (2009), which included dozens of titles from their back catalogue, saw me throw countless hours into everything it had to offer many years ago.

Offering games which take full advantage of the Nintendo 3DS’ capabilities, SEGA have released Sega 3D Classics Collection on the console. This collection features nine titles from back in the day when Sega were still in the console market. These titles include:

  • Power Drift – Put the pedal to the metal against AI racers in a twisting, turning, jumping, looping race to the finish.
  • Puyo Puyo 2 – An addicting head-to-head puzzle game that will incite competition and most likely ruin friendships.
  • Maze Walker – Escape a mysterious, twisting maze filled with unknown dangers.
  • Fantasy Zone II: The Tears of Opa-Opa – The sentient space ship Opa-Opa must defeat enemies in a psychedelic world of colors, man (this version is the original Master System version).
  • Fantasy Zone II W – M2’s re-envisioning of the console game Fantasy Zone II as a System-16 arcade game, with upgraded graphics, sounds and 3D effects. Plus, adds a new gameplay mode!
  • Sonic The Hedgehog – The famed blue blur must use his speed and penchant for rings to help defeat the evil Dr. Eggman.
  • Thunder Blade – Pilot a helicopter and rain down hellfire upon enemies with guns and missiles.
  • Galaxy Force II – Repel the forces of Halcyon and the Fourth Empire with your TRY-X fighter in this 3D space shoot ’em up.
  • Altered Beast – Shape shift into different beasts to do battle with demons and save the captured Athena from the clutches of Neff.

Unfortunately this collection is only available to those in North America, and I have yet to see any listings of it for PAL regions. Those in the game’s supported regions can pick up this collection for $29.99 USD or $44.99 Canadian Dollars.

Update: Updated for additional clarity.
