While the SEGA 3D Classics Collection will be released on April 26th in North America, not every existing 3D Classic game will be included on the cartridge. You can, however, save money completing your collection as SEGA discounted the remaining titles on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. Unfortunately 3D Sonic 2 has been excluded in the sale, but I’m confident SEGA will include it in a future Sonic franchise sale.
SEGA have posted a new trailer for the upcoming SEGA 3D Reprint Archives 2, a retail release featuring a collection of their 3D Classics game for the 3DS. We talked about the games included in the release earlier on, and the trailer also shows the new additions to the 3D Classics series that will be included in the collection. In particular, these are 3D Puyo Puyo 2, 3D Power Drift and 3D Maze Walker. Take a look at the trailer below to see the games in action on the 3DS!
Here’s to hoping we can see this released outside of Japan!
Famitsu had recently revealed the existence of SEGA 3D Reprint Archives 2, a second collection of SEGA 3D Classics which will be released in retail in Japan. Today, they also revealed that the collection will include 2 new and 2 bonus games which haven’t been released before on the 3DS yet. These include 3D Power Drift, 3D Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, 3D Maze Walker, and 3D Fantasy Zone II: The Tears of Opa-Opa!
At the moment it’s not clear if these new games will be heading West. We hope Sega considers releasing them on the Nintendo eShop, like they did with most of the previous 3D Classics games. I also hope they don’t reskin Puyo Puyo 2 if they do end up releasing it, given what happened with Puyo Puyo Quest.
Sega has announced more 3D Classics to be released for the 3DS, and on top of that, they’re already confirmed for a release in the West! The games in question are also some of Sega’s biggest Genesis/Mega Drive games, namely 3D Streets of Rage 2, 3D Gunstar Heroes and 3D Sonic The Hedgehog 2. As usual, we can expect aditional modes and features added to the game together with an optimized 3D experience tailored to the 3DS. 3D Streets of Rage 2 will be released in July, followed by 3D Gunstar Heroes in August, and then 3D Sonic The Hedgehog 2 in September 2015. The games will be priced at MSRP $5.99/€4.99/£4.49 and will be available for download in the Nintendo eShop.
