Yeah, you have to see the ending (any ending) once to get it.
Picked it up this morning but haven't unlocked Special Mode yet. The 3D arcade cab on the Home Menu is cool though!

I posted this in the EU collection thread, but thought it might have a bit more visibility here.
The EU version of the collection is out now and it has actually got a retail release, but it's an Argos exclusive for some reason. Same price as digital (£24.99).
Just picked up a copy, but have seen that it's pretty limited availability around the country so if you want a copy get on it!

Nice that it got a physical release. Is it Volume 2 like NA got?
Yeah, same games as the US release. No stickers though!
GAME Watch Impress' Sega x M2 interviews are being published in book form (in Japanese, of course)! Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives MANIAX, out December 22: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4198643172/
Are there any more details on this? I assume it will include Archives 3 interviews?
I can't read a word of Japanese but I might buy anyway, because I've wanted this for ages.
Yeah, it's edited versions of the previously-published interviews plus new interviews for Final Stage and a few other little things like comics and so on.
Cool! Who's producing it? SEGA themselves, Game Watch, or someone else?
Tokuma Shoten's putting it out and it's being put together by a guy who, among other things, was once the editor-in-chief of Famimaga and PSMag.
Cool, thanks! I've added it to my Archives 3 pre-order.
The cover art for the interview book is up: https://www.amazon.co.jp/dp/4198643172/
Me too!
If you're a crazy person like me and care about this sort of thing, you can see the back covers for Archives 3 and the Triple Pack in these store display photos: https://twitter.com/Hashi6001/status/805983465317355520

When will Power Drift release as a separate download in the US?
Probably never, unless they do standalone versions of the games from Archives 3 and do them all together as a sort of 3D Classics Wave 3 for the West. Can't really see Power Drift (and Puyo Puyo) on their own having enough interest to warrant a localisation when they're in 3D Classics Collection already, but who knows?

I will be extremely bummed if there is no way for me to play TF3. Time to make some Twitter noise I guess..

Beyond a joke now... as Switch looms ahead, the likelihood of these still hitting the eShop gets lower every day. I did my part on Twitter
I loved that game at Sega World Bournemouth

Me too. Outrunners... with online multiplayer.
It most likely is at this point. AFAIK, Sonic 3 specifically went missing in the Wii's VC — and Sega simply didn't want to green light the S3&K remaster in spite of an impressive petition.
I believe Sonic 3 was also excluded from one of Sega's official TV output emulator. Then one has to factor in S&K Collection completely changing some songs, and even simply S&K replacing some jingles for seemingly no reason. (Other than perhaps to make the games feel different, but they're still ones that have that distinct Baxter feel)

That package look awesome
Sonic 3 was on the Wii VC from pretty early on and I don't think it was ever delisted, same goes for the XBLA and Steam versions.
It has less to do with the actual content and more to do with the timing of the release--Sega's far less willing to risk it now that MJ's dead and other people are handling his estate.
Oh, wow, yeah, what the hell? Not sure how I missed it in which case because that was definitely one game I wanted.
I broke down and ordered a Japanese New 3DS LL today from Amazon.jp just for this collection (I pre-ordered the triple pack, btw). The things I do to get my classic SEGA fix.
It's pretty rad to have a JP 3DS around (I bought mine last year for Archives 2). Access to eShop games is super easy because credit cards aren't region-locked.

Judging by your monthly pickups in the MarkMan threads, I'm sure you'll really enjoy the JP N3DS. Especially since it has physical releases of some games that are e-shop only in the west like Kokuga and Sayonara Umihara Kawase.
Would love to see Gotta Protectors get a physical release tho.
Archives 3 now has an eShop listing on Nintendo's website (and a 3D video on the 3DS storefront): https://www.nintendo.co.jp/titles/50010000041677
Interestingly (to me, anyway), the boxart there seems to be an earlier version with a different background and no game logos:

There's a dozen Sega games that *haven't* been re-released over and over that I'd rather see get some attention than another Sonic game (even if I do love S3&K). Besides, I'd rather have no Sonic 3 port than a Sonic 3 port with a different soundtrack - that'd be like releasing Crazy Taxi without the Offspring tracks...

They did for the original PC collection, and it was pretty great (and equally iconic to those of us who played the game more on that collection than anything else). Why they never bothered re-arranging those tracks is a mystery, but I can understand the sentiment of preserving the original. It's a similar situation to Shenmue getting re-released.
Still pouring one out for that. Thank goodness for modding.
Gonna try this out on my n3DS' web browser.

Cool. I hope this comes to U.S. shores.
Wait what Outrunners is coming out???

Here's one final(?) surprise: there are two bonus SG-1000 games, Girls Garden and Champion Boxing, that are unlocked with save data from Archives 1 and 2.

Cool bonus

That is awesome. Girl's Garden is a cute and pretty impressive game for its time. Yuji Naka's first game as well.
Really cool to give some SG-1000 games some attention.
I wish Sega release a physical collection with all three packs on it in NA...or a least a pack with all the games except the collection they already released and brand it as the sequel of the first one or something like that, just make it work!
