Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives 3: FINAL STAGE (Sega 3D Classics, 3DS), out December 22 (JP)
- Thread starter @MUWANdo
- Start date
That's interesting.
It's probably for the best, though.
Besides, a pixel-perfect port of Virtua Racing (or Virtua Fighter) would technically not be possible given Sega Model 1's video resolution: 496 x 384 vs that of 3DS; 400 x 240.
Nevermind any other technical issues 3DS has emulating Model 1.
Best saved for Switch.
Wondering the same, so bumping again. Sorry.
Do we need to start getting worried the remaining games won't ever come over? I need Turbo Outrun at the very least! (If only the 3DS was region free...)
Not to port beg, but maybe the wait is signifying that Sega is gearing up for some kind of (3d-less) Switch re-release, like a complete package or something? That would be a good fit amongst the Neo Geo classics and games like Blaster Master imo, and also a very appreciated move since the small 3DS screen is kinda hampering my enjoyment of these games I must admit.
The wait continues I guess. Sigh.

They come on three separate cards
Goddamn, I would buy that in a fucking heartbeat if it were released in the US.

Every time I see this bumped and it's nothing I die a little inside.
You should have been worried from the moment it was announced.

Is it rude to suggest just buying the Japanese version? The triple pack is pretty sweet and Amazon JP international shipping is great.

They don't work with the region-free hack
Still? Fuck.
Anyone want to trade a JPN OG 3DS for a NA OG 3DS?
So as it seem the 3DS is still get a fair amount of support would though to the end of 2018 what do you think the likelihood of AM2 giving us one last Sega 3D archives package!?. They could call it, Sega 3D Archives 4: Curtain Call
What 8 games would be on it though?, id like...
Rad Moble (Arcade)
Enduro Racer (Arcade)
Outrunners (Arcade)
Virtua Racing (Arcade)
Golden Axe (Mega Drive)
Ghouls 'n Ghosts (Mega Drive)
Psycho Fox (SMS)
Master of Darkness (SMS)

I have absolutely no expectations for another 3DS release and I don't think they'll even localise Final Stage.
On a related note, the first and second collections are on sale on the JP eShop for the next few weeks, 50-60% off the compilations themselves and all the standalone games from each collection.
e: also, M2 =/= AM2

I believe M2 has their hands full presently with their 'Shottriggers' line of re-released and polished classic 2D shooters. I'd love to see them do their 3D Classic spin on every applicable title, but they've clearly moved on.
Also, I want the Shottriggers stuff on a worldwide release, badly.

RoDA and Thunderforce IV pls

Some of these are kind of a stretch for the 3DS, especially to be redone in 3D, like Rad Mobile, Outrunners, and Virtua Racing. It would be nice to see the series continue on the Switch, since the 3D support is nice but I'm more interested in having these games ported and curated than the 3D itself.
That said:
- Alex Kidd: The Lost Stars (AC)
- Thunderforce IV (MD)
- Outrunners (AC)
- Alien Soldier (MD)
- Quartet (AC)
- Golden Axe: Revenge of Death Adder (AC)
- Shinobi (AC)
- Seishun Scandal (AC)
- Alien Storm (AC)
Okay I cheated that's nine.
But yeah, it seems M2 has moved on to STG ports under the ShotTriggers series.
Virtual Racing was underway for the third compilation and it was approximately 50% complete before they put it aside.

I still havent got around to reading all their interviews. Do you know what the reason was for shelving Virtua Racing? I understand technical limitations or difficulties prevented some games from being converted into 3D, like Golden Axe.
EDIT: oh, I see you posted it months ago at the top of the page!

I feel the same way.
OutRunners 3DS would have been amazing. Afaik there's no good console version of OutRunners.

Outrunners would have been more interesting had M2 been able to pull it off, but Im not super pissed Turbo Outrun got ported. Its good.
Hopefully in time the series gets revived on new hardware allowing expanded port possibilities, and without the burden of expectations of converting these games into 3D.
It's all water under the bridge if neither won't be released in the e-shop separately worldwide or in a collection outside of Japan anyway :-(
To think that the cartridge collections, including the one localized volume, would actually lead to less localized e-shop releases overall instead of more of them has been incredible disheartening to me. I just want Turbo Outrun and Columns to come over, especially now that the 3DS is being supported for a while longer!
