SEGA 3D Classics finally set to release in NA/EU beginning November 28
- Thread starter zroid
- Start date
No. It's a port of the original on the developers new port engine. Jap/ International versions, graphics modes, Megadrive 1 or 2 emulation, dash on, those are the sort of options here.
Yeah it's 60fps, I guess it's just the scrolling speed of the game that makes the LCD motion blur more obvious than the last 60fps game I was playing, Link Between Worlds.
3D looks great, 1:1 pixels, accurate color, I am quite happy with it

I don't even know how you're supposed to do scan lines on a display with almost exactly the same number of pixels as the original.
Sonic is 78 blocks.

Are the trailer and images not in 3D for this or is the 3D just that underwhelming?

Will do. I also purchased Pushmo from eShop. SO AWESOME
For those wondering: According to Nintendo.com, 3D Streets of Rage supports 2-player local co-op.

That's good to hear. Did the overseas release not support this?

3D Sonic looks SO GOOD. Loving the 3D effects. They're good enough to make the game not feel underwhelming after playing the EXCELLENT iOS port for so long.
I can't believe 3D Streets of Rage supports co-op - that's amazing. The inevitable 3D Streets of Rage 2 doing the same thing in wave two of these games will be even better. It's amazing how much SEGA's Virtual Console and 3D Classics efforts put Nintendo's to shame.
After getting and loving 3D Space Harrier, Super Hang-On, and Sonic, I'm annoyed that I'm even thinking about getting Altered Beast. But I mustn't. $6 is $6 too much for such a shitty game. I mustn't...

I've thought this tonight. Will probably buy it when I go to bed.

None of Sega's game trailers on the eShop have 3D.

Sonic 3D looks fantastic.
Can somebody please explain all of the settings in the options menu? i.e. what is the difference between Japanese and international versions, etc.?

Holy jeebus, it just gets better and better. I feel like when I got my first Genesis almost 25 years ago. =)

The Japanese release has more parallax (i.e. clouds in GHZ) and better water effects IIRC.
Can't speak for the other games but for Super Hang On at least it's great without 3D. I play with the gyro controls so it's not really a choice (barring tilting your head in line with the screen), but the control makes up for going without the 3D effect.
And goddamn it's hard. I set it to the easiest option where you pass through other bikes and left the timer on default, I still can't even pass the second course yet.

Woooooooo! I'm hyped for Sonic now, but I want to read all the interviews with M2 first before buying it. I read the Space Harrier interview last night and loved it (even though I never played that game).
Man I'm such a sucker for remakes of old classics. These will be the first games I buy (on any platform) in many many months.

Do you need two copies of the game for it? Would be great if it supported single copy download play aswell.

Classic is what games look like on a crt using composite video.

Just bought sonic, very clear looking but 3D effect is kind of underwhelming. Doesn't seem to lend itself to 3D as well as some other games but I only played green hill zone. That said, I still want Sonic 2 in 3D ASAP.
absolutely
Although the original System 16 arcade Altered Beast is graphically a lot better (bigger, bolder sprites, more color, much more animation as well as way better special effects like body parts that break up & scale into the screen, the various attacks each altered beast does, Neff growing and the smoke before he becomes each stage boss, etc etc) the MegaDrive / Genesis Altered Beast actually had parallax (4 layers in the 1st stage) whereas the arcade Altered Beast did not have any parallax at all.
That said, I would have much preferred if 3D Altered Beast had been based on the arcade version.
It is by far the best version of Space Harrier imo.
Just imagine those bonus stages in 3D...
Man, I want that game. I want it so bad.

Yup, I really hope it's part of the next group. I'll probably get space harrier and definitely get streets of rage just because of how much I've played that game.
Edit: Fuck, I forgot about altered beast... Has anyone tried that yet? How does the 3D look? I played the shit out of that game when I was younger too.
Dream list:
-Outrunners
-Power Drift
-Virtua Racing Deluxe (32X)
-Golden Axe: The Revenge of Death Adder
-Fantasy Zone II DX (the one M2 made for the PS2 Fantasy Zone collection)
-Sonic 3 & Knuckles
-Knuckles Chaotix
Realistic list:
-After Burner II
-Outrun
-Golden Axe (Arcade ver.)
-Gunstar Heroes
-Ristar
Ahaha, your dream list doesn't have Virtua Fighter.
I considered it, though at the rate I was going the dream list would be never ending haha.
Master System wise they could just bring over the actual 3D glasses games, though from what I played of them they weren't really all that exciting. Would be cool to see none the less, maybe two or three of them as a bundle.

Damn, I would buy every single one of those.
BTW, where is Saturn and Dreamcast on the Virtual Console? I heard a while ago they were making a new Seaman for WiiU, where is it?

M2: "Hey Sega, we've got some Arcade and Genesis Classics that have been faithfully recreated with 3D support."
Sega: "Great! Let's market them each on the eShop with a low-quality 2D trailer with audio that the viewer can barely hear!"
My dream list would only be Virtua Fighter and Streets of Rage 2.

Altered Beast interview is up: http://blogs.sega.com/2013/12/05/sega-3d-classics-–-3d-altered-beast-interview-with-developer-m2/
That is the truth. There are zillion games for the 3DS but this port of Space Harrier makes the system a must-purchase for any gamer. If a gamer does not have a 3DS by this point then...I just don't know what to say.

When you fully complete Space Harrier..... what does the 'Special' option do?l
Oh, Yu Suzuki's name isn't even in the credits!

Phantasy Star 3D? I would absolutely buy that game yet again.
And I HAAAAAATE these games costing $6 when I have $5 in my eShop account. I really want to play Sonic.
Based on your comments, and others, I'm going with:
-- After Burner II
-- Fantasy Zone
-- OutRun without Ferraris
-- Bonanza Bros. (I'm pretty confident this is one of them due to the "appeals to Japan" comment, as well as the ability for the "GigaDrive" to write depth per raster line. Could make the floor look really cool.)
-- Puyo Puyo
-- Sonic the Hedgehog 2
Heh, and the footage in the Sonic trailer also seems like it's from some poor Sega intern playing the game for the first time and trying to get used to the physics. Doesn't exactly get you pumped up to buy the game.
