    SEGA 3D Classics Collection is an enjoyable bundle of games. But nothing more than that. The title is probably the most fun to play for the people most nostalgic about SEGA.

    For the Sega fans looking for some games to take on the go that even look pretty decent in 3D, this collection has something for everyone, although the price point may be a bit too steep when some games are short lived.

    It’s a nice package, and the 3D is proof that classic titles from what I consider the golden era of gaming can pop fantastically well on the 3DS. Next time, hopefully the selection can vary more broadly, making the package both worthy of a full price tag and hours of investment instead of a burst of nostalgia and the question of why my wallet feels lighter than it should.

    All in all, the Sega 3D Classics Collection offers a great mix of titles to suit the tastes of many.

    Sega 3D Classics Collection is an uneven package, but nothing outside of Altered Beast is what I would consider a "bad game."

    Even though Sega 3DS Classics Collection isn't a full priced game, it should've included more games and a sense of history with documents and pictures about them.

    If you have never played any of the games in this collection, you will not appreciate it. The port to 3DS is great, but most games do not stand the test of time.

    Despite the name, there really aren't many classics included in this compilation. The historical value is rich, though, and the 3D remakes by M2 are top notch. It's just too bad that better games weren't included.

    Sega 3D Classics Collection is a fantastic presentation of mostly mediocre games, like a beautifully shot and directed movie featuring David Duchovny in its leading role.

    Some of the best emulation work ever undertaken, it’s just a pity it’s been wasted on such a miserable collection of decidedly non-classic games.

    Sonic 1 3D, Power Drift, Galaxy Force 2, & Thunderblade are the best games in this collection. The rest are kind of like bonuses for me, butSonic 1 3D, Power Drift, Galaxy Force 2, & Thunderblade are the best games in this collection. The rest are kind of like bonuses for me, but are still great games. The additional 3D Master System games they added just for this collection are also great & Maze Walker looks especially good in 3D. There's also a hidden Master System game of Fantasy Zone you can unlock by simply touching the screen in the "Extras" menu on the bottom left, making a total of 10 games. 10 great remastered games for a $19.99 physical copy is a great deal.

    Just know that the eShop version is $29.99 for some reason while physical copies are actually cheaper at around $19.99. Physical copies also come with some sweet retro decals, which I decided to stick to my N3DS to give it a bit of flavor. You can also buy some of these games as well as other SEGA 3D classics on the eShop separately for $5.99 each, with the main exceptions being the Master System 3D remakes & Power Drift.    … Full Review »
