Sega of Europe has announced a release for their Sega 3D Classics Collection.
The retro-yet-3D-enabled collection will launch for the Nintendo 3DS via both retail and the eShop on November 4th.
The release includes a total of nine games spanning the back catalog of Sega consoles, including:
Titles Not Released Outside of Japan
- Power Drift – This sprite-based circuit racer puts you head to head against other AI racers in a twisting, turning, jumping, looping race to the finish.
- Puyo Puyo 2 – This head-to-head competitive puzzle game is simple to learn, hard to master, and compellingly addictive. Compete against the AI or friends in local multiplayer. Note: because of the quirks of trying to localize a game hard-coded in Japanese, the game has been left entirely in its original language. English instructions are available in the included digital manual.
Titles Not Released on the 3DS Before
