Unfortunately, played today, it’s really apparent just how simplistic this beat ‘em up truly is. You’re a buff dude who grows increasingly buff and can also turn into animals for some reason – and this kicks total butt. As such, there’s probably not much need to describe what goes on in this game. Here’s a look at nine games included in the Sega 3D Classics Collection with mini-reviews as to their fun factor in the modern era as well as 3D implementation.Īside from Sonic the Hedgehog, it’s likely that Altered Beast is the most well known of the releases in the Sega 3D Classics Collection.

With all this said, the quality of extraneous features is meaningless if the included games are total junk. The biggest disappointment, however, is that there’s no option to create multiple saves for one game. Of course, save states are implemented which means players can save at any point during a game. Obsessive fans will likely know what the differences between these ROMs are, but I just think it’s cool as is. Finally, the game version selection is awesome in that it lets players opt for Japanese versions of games or their international releases. This means you can change whether the 3D appears to be popping out at your falling into the background. There’s also a handful of screen modes to either retain the original screen ratio, blow the image up quite a bit to get a full screen look and even options on 3D. If you don’t like the defaults, the emulator is set to then simply swap things up. For one, each and every title includes customizable controls. Some of the coolest aspects about a collection like this are that they give Sega fans ample control of their games. Save states, selectable game versions and the like are also included in the package.

As with the Sega 3D Classics already on the Nintendo eShop, each title has been upgraded in order to offer 3D capabilities. What’s most exciting about this set is that it is not simply just a quick smattering of emulated games on portable hardware. The latest in these initiatives of classic game re-releases is Sega 3D Classics Collection on Nintendo 3DS. With so many games, how do you select even a few to be representative of the Sega brand? Well, every so often Sega gets a compilation of titles together and releases it.

Sure, their latest output in the realm of Sonic the Hedgehog titles might leave something to be desired, but there’s no doubt that they have provided gamers with tons of excellent titles over the years. Sega is one of those companies which you can’t help but love.
