SEGA’s 3D Classics Return this Summer with SEGA Genesis Games for Nintendo 3DSThree more titles are incoming to the second batch of the SEGA 3D Classics exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS. Featuring some of the most iconic games from SEGA’s Genesis console, The SEGA 3D Classics Series will let fans relive SEGA’s legendary console era and take them on a 3D ride through gaming’s golden age with 3D Streets of Rage 2 in July, 3D Gunstar Heroes in August, and 3D Sonic The Hedgehog 2 in September 2015. These games will follow the releases of 3D Fantasy Zone II (April 16, 2015) and 3D Thunder Blade (May 14, 2015). Just like the previously released arcade classics, each game in the series delivers a full-fledged re-mastered vintage experience, stunning 3D visuals and optimized for the platform. All games in the series will include brand new modes and features, letting you play the game how you remember it but also in an entirely new way.

Given I like playing Sonic the Hedgehog Genesis on GBA, Sonic Classic Collection, and 3D Sonic the Hedgehog on the go, I’m very happy to see an updated version of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 coming! Means more classic Sonic on the go for me!
Seeing how I loved the 3D effects in the original 3D Sonic, really looking forward to it.
Thanks Sega! Really did not see this one coming!

Great to hear! I love and own all of the 3D Classics series.
I do still wish we would get Virtual Console support from Sega on the Wii U (I’m not a fan of going back into Wii mode). I’ll happily buy both! Where’s the Genesis and Master System love on the Wii U? Or 32x and Sega CD for that matter?

Very cool. I’ll get them all, but I’m secretly waiting for more exclusive arcade titles like… Power Drift or Golden Axe Revenge Of Death Adder, for example.

Is the 3d classic port going to be based on the iphone/android port? That’s the only thing that will get me to buy.

Although this is great news…what would be even better is a Sega greatest hits compilation hard copy release on the 3DS or the Wii U. Basically similar to the Wii releases of “SNK Arcade Classics” or “Data East Arcade Classics.” Please make it happen Sega. I would purchase this in a heartbeat.

Even though I’ll probably buy all of these, I’d much rather see more arcade games from that era. The Genesis ports just weren’t as impressive, especially if you compared Sonic 1 to the mobile port.

The Sega 3D Classics are amongst my top games on my 3DS, that’s how much I love them. KEEP THEM COMING!!! (and Phantasy Star in particular please).

The Arcade Game mine from that era certainly is rich, and it’s really great to enjoy definitive & enhanced versions of some of them. The super scalar arcade ports in particular have all been inspired choices. However – the console port choices of the 1st wave of these remasters avoided the later generation technical showcase titles, and its incredible that some of these are now coming.
With Streets Of Rage 2 and the mighty Gunstar Heroes coming – enhanced, 3D’d and likely fan serviced up to their eyeballs – it’s obvious that they’ve overcome any remaining hurdles and become zen masters of the 3DS architecture. Good job they have impeccable creativity to match the technical chops.
Anyway, my slightly unrealistic Arcade Game Wish List:
– Golden Axe: Revenge Of Death Adder
– Golden Axe
– Shinobi
– Shadow Dancer
– Wonder Boy 2 in Monster Land
– Power Drift
My totally unrealistic (due to a few non-Sega, 3rd party developer’s titles) Mega Drive / Genesis Wish List:
– Alien Soldier
– Contra 4
– Monster World 4
– Volfied
– Assault Suit Leynos
– Panorama Cotton
– Ghouls n Ghosts
– E-SWAT

It’s disappointing that Sega can release these but not Sonic 3 Remastered:

The Sonic games on mobile are far superior to these 3D games.

Wow more 3D classics. What a great surprise. 😀
Hope you can bring home Turbo OutRun. There has never been a faithful home conversion and it would make this long time SEGA fan a very happy man.
More 3D classics, please! 😀

Great to see these three games next in the lineup. I was hoping for Gunstar Heroes in particular because it is my favourite Genesis game. Thanks Sega and M2 for working on these.
Next I want to see Dynamite Headdy, Sonic 3 & Knuckles, Shining Force II, Virtua Racing and Alien Soldier. Keep em coming!

Awesome news.
Can we get some arcade games that never got a console release like outrunners and golden axe death adder next please :p

Needs more Pulseman, Toejam & Earl. And the Sonic Advance (and Battle) titles brought to the 3DS as well. There’s a lot of money floating around, and you guys don’t seem too bothered by it.

Incredible 😀 I’m from Chile and the best 3D Classics are from Sega. I was waiting for “Sonic 2″ (the best 2D Sonic), “Street of Rage 2″ and “Gunstar Heroes” and now are a reality. Thanks Sega, for your great job. Your classics are gold. We hope more of your 16 bits titles arrives to the N3DS 😉

This is great news, and I will continue to buy every one of these as long as you bring them out. I would love to see some more unique arcade ports that have not been seen elsewhere — since the Genesis library has appeared all over the place already. Outrun and Thunderblade are great examples of this. Now that the New 3DS has extra processing power, maybe you can bring us some Model 1 or Model 2 stuff like Virtua Racing, Virtua Fighter, Virtua Cop, Sega Rally, Star Wars Arcade, and Daytona USA!

If you guys happen to publish 3D Sonic 3, please don’t do Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles separately. PLEASE make 3D Sonic 3 & Knuckles instead. Sonic 3 was designed to be that whole game in the first place anyway, and I just hate seeing them separated as the combined version adds so much to it.

Just a couple of notes I want to make from previous comments:
Volfied: was released on Genesis as Ultimate Qix by Taito. Ultimate Qix has two other modes that Volfied doesn’t have. True that Sega couldn’t do 3D version without a license from Taito (IIRC now owned by Square Enix).
Outrunners: did a Sega Genesis release, ported by Data East. Immediate limitations vs. the arcade cabinet were always split screen 2 player mode, even with 1 player vs. CPU, very scratchy voices, much lower sound quality versions of the music (but accurate enough), and less 3D looking cars; however it still played well enough to be good game. (Note: The Bad Boy will always win unless controlled by a very novice player, due to its excellent cornering on just two wheels.)
Not yet commented: NO UNLOCKS! All games and any interviews availble.

Oh boy Thunder Force 4 would be awesome in 3D, it was the very first game I wanted to see in 3D the day I saw Xevious in the eshop, if only Sega of Japan contacted whoever has Technosoft ips and proposed it… they did make Thunderforce 6 in 2008 after all…
