Making its first appearance on retail shelves, this compilation package takes the series' fantastic offerings and packs it with additional exclusive content for unbeatable value! Review: Some of the best use of 3-D on the system - at a budget price! - I became a fan of Sega the first time I laid eyes on the Space Harrier cabinet in the arcade I frequented as a kid. The entire unit moved on hydrolics, and the graphics, gamplay, and excitementcwere miles beyond other games of the time. This high level of quality persisted with other 80s classics like Hang On, Out Run, After Burner, and Shinobi, and continued into the 90s with classics like Daytona USA. While Daytona and Shinobi have yet to appear on 3DS, the others mentioned are on the previous cart, only available in Japan, or individually on eshop. The titles on here, while not as well known, should keep fans occupied for hours. Here's a quick breakdown on what to expect: Thunder Blade - a helicopter shooter similar to After Burner, but with environmental hazards (buildings, caves, and the like) to deal with, in addition to the planes, tanks, other choppers, and other enemies determined to take you down. It also features top-down segments, which, unlike many, MANY other top down shooters at the time, allowed you to change your altitude and used innovative sprite techniques to suggest depth. Levels end with a battle against a screen-filling boss. It's the sort of title made for 3D, as it not only makes it look cooler, but makes it easier to avoid obstacles and enemy fire by making spatial relationships more evident. Its biggest weakness is its short length - four not very long stages, followed by a lame ending.. Power Drift - Five years before Mario treaded the turf, this go kart racer came on the scene While it lacks weapons, it features colorful racers and wild, rollercoaster-style tracks which broke new ground in using sprites to suggest 3D. Unlike Out Run and Hang-On, you're not racing the clock, but doing lap races, competing with the other racers, not random drivers who solely exist to serve as obstacles. Instead of the traditional timer, the game ends if you don't place in the top three. The 3DS not only makes everything look even more amazing, but it's easier to judge turns in the road and distance from other riders. I find it hard to control, frustrating, and am not a fan, but it won a poll Sega conducted as to which game they next wanted to see receive the 3D treatment, so evidently it has its fans, so maybe it'll grow on me. Puyo Puyo 2 - Of all the games to receive the 3-D treatment, this would be near the bottom of the list of games that would benefit from it, but it's still a fun puzzler that most of you have played in at least one of its many forms, such as Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine on Genesis, Kirby's Avalanche on SNES, or, in stripped down form as a minigame in the 3DS Hatsune Miku title. This is the version that started it all, and was a huge hit in Japan. The 3-D has good depth, though its only used between the playfield and the very plain backdrop, and the score overlay is a little raised. The A.I. opponents are an eclectic mix of devils, angels, animals, mermaids, skeletons, and other weird things you usually only find in Japanese games. They provide a god challenge for beginners, and scale nicely, with the higher level ones requiring combo chaining and other advanced techniques. Unfortunately, an expert will quickly blow through them, and this game earned its popularity through versus, which is local only, just like all these releases. It desperately needs online. Altered Beast - Based on the Genesis version, not the superior arcade original. They likely chose this due to the parallax scrolling, which the arcade entirely lacked, so we're stuck with the second best version available. The 3-D severely lacks depth; by far the worst use by any of these Sega 3D titles, but I can't say it looks bad, just disappointing. The game is as fun as ever, however. Fantasy Zone II W - The W stands for "What If". Since the original Fantasy Zone II was essentially the Master System version with a few extra features, like a map and radar to locate objectives, it didn't use their most powerful hardware available at the time, and as a result was inferior in many ways to the original arcade release, so the developers created a new version 20 years later, using the actual System 16 hardware, so they had the same limitations as they would have back then.The result is this strange, chaotic shooter with awesome 3-D that helps enemies and projectiles stand out from the backgrounds, and massively enhances that trippy, psychedelic vibe they were going for. Galaxy Force II - Arguably the pinnacle of the Super Sprite Scalers, with scrolling surrounding your ship. Plays like an outer space After Burner, with the environmental obstacles of Thunderblade, taken to the next level. The best use of 3-D on these games thus far, it also uses the visual enhancements of the PSX version, with textures 4X the resolution of the arcade original (the unenhanced original is included as an unlockable). The crown jewel of this package. Sonic - It's the game you know and love, now in 3-D and with the spin dash introduced in the second installment that was absent in the original release. The 3-D does little to enhance the gameplay, but looks nice, especially in the bonus round. Maze Walker / Hunter (bonus game) - Shows how ahead of its time Sega was when it came to 3-D back in the Segascope days. Never played the original, but reviewers say this is indicative of what they could pull off back then, and it's pretty impressive. The game itself is a timed maze game with a slow character armed with a weak weapon that has a short range, accosted by slow, easily avoided enemies that kill with a single touch. A nice history lesson, but when you learn this was one of the best of the nine Sega Scope titles released, it's easy to understand why the format didn't go very far. Fantasy Zone II Master System version (bonus game) - Shows the base game before the W treatment, so you can see how much better the newer version is, particularly what a difference a radar system makes. The 3-D still looks like the put some effort into it, even though they developers probably figured this game will be like the extras on DVDs; people will probably play them once and never touch them again. So, those who remember playing these in arcades should enjoy this trip down memory lane, but for those who don't know what an arcade is . . . . well, the original Sonic earned its place in video game history (though its been surpassed by its sequels), but except for Puyo Puyo 2 in certain circles, the others in this collection aren't regarded with the same caliber of timeless classic, so for those who don't like "old" games, this likely won't convert them, though at least they'll know the games we were playing back then were more advanced than they thought. Review: Great collection of games - This collection really shows off what the super scalar games could really accomplish. They run blazing fast, and the 3d effect is surprisingly effective. Then there's Sonic. Ok I suppose, but it doesn't really lends itself to 3d much. ## Features - Nine Games in One Fantastic Compilation - Includes: Sonic The Hedgehog, Altered Beast (local wireless multiplayer), Galaxy Force II, Thunder Blade, 3D Fantasy Zone II W, Power Drift, Puyo Puyo 2 (local wireless multiplayer) - Bonus 3D Sega Master System Games: Maze Walker (aka Maze Hunter), Fantasy Zone II - Not just ported-remade in 3D: Developer M2 recreated the originals by breaking down the original game code and doing a major renovation to take full advantage of the Nintendo 3DS system's power. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B01B1KEERW | | Best Sellers Rank | #24,794 in Video Games ( See Top 100 in Video Games ) #861 in Nintendo 3DS & 2DS Consoles, Games & Accessories | | Compatible Video Game Console Models | Nintendo 2DS, Nintendo 3DS, Nintendo 3DS XL, Nintendo DS, Nintendo DS Lite, Nintendo DSi, Nintendo DSi XL | | Computer Platform | Nintendo 3DS | | Customer Reviews | 4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars (586) | | Date First Available | January 20, 2016 | | Department | All Ages | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00010086611205 | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item Weight | 0.176 ounces | | Item model number | CC-61120-5 | | Language | English | | Manufacturer | Sega of America | | Number of Players | 1 Player | | Product Dimensions | 0.4 x 5.4 x 4.9 inches; 0.18 ounces | | Publication Date | April 26, 2016 | | Rated | Everyone 10+ | | Release date | April 26, 2016 | | Type of item | Video Game | | UPC | 010086611205 | ## Images ![- SEGA 3D Classics Collection - Nintendo 3DS - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/811o3VuzDSL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Some of the best use of 3-D on the system - at a budget price! *by R***S on April 26, 2016* I became a fan of Sega the first time I laid eyes on the Space Harrier cabinet in the arcade I frequented as a kid.

They run blazing fast, and the 3d effect is surprisingly effective. Then there's Sonic. Ok I suppose, but it doesn't really lends itself to 3d much. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent 3d effects on the games, missing some headliner titles. *by T***E on May 30, 2016* The 3d is amazing on this collection, as is all the work M2 & Sega have done on the 3d classics line (on the Nintendo shop). On a "new" 3ds XL, the games look wonderful, especially for any old school Sega fans. There is also a hidden 10th game too, which is easy to find out how to access online. Sega should have included another main Sonic title, and Gunstar Heroes, to help draw in fans that may have been on the fence about getting this specific collection. The work done on these games for audio, control, and silky smooth framerates is high quality and stupendous. The extra options and features they ha e implemented help add more joy to the collection. If you happen to get a first run of the cartridge, it comes with a monochrome sticker sheet, that shows a little love to Sega fans. Could they have chosen better art, and had the stickers in Sega blue, or color? Yes. Sega needs to do an arcade only set of 3d classics for amazing games they have not given the 3d treatment to yet. ## Frequently Bought Together - SEGA 3D Classics Collection - Nintendo 3DS - Sonic Generations - Nintendo 3DS - The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D (World Edition) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/27011081-sega-3d-classics-collection-nintendo-3ds](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/27011081-sega-3d-classics-collection-nintendo-3ds) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
