[SoulUnison]

No Ristar, smh.

This man knows what's up.

 

[Camjo-Z]

AW SHIT TJ&E 3D

i'd probably get columns too

 

[NoKisum]

All in for Puyo Puyo, Comix Zone, and Sonic Spinball. Get Sonic 3&K in there, and we're golden.

 

[IrishNinja]

MUSHA & the SMS 3D games would be no-brainers for me, lotta quality there though

Power Drift slighted again.

yeah, this really would be amazing if done half as well as Galaxy Froce

No Return of Death Adder

Technically Arcade only, but I would love to a home release.

god, this so hard...still never got a chance to play it

 

[chrisPjelly]

NNNNNNNGH, easily the best virtual console experience on any platform ever. SEGA WHEN!!?

 

[Dreamwriter]

The list makes no sense from a programming perspective. Why on earth would game code include serial numbers or headers for other games? I could see names being in memory if they were making it all in one big code base or creating them in multi-game packs, but neither of those cases would ever need a serial number or header for every game.

It was a treat in the arcades.

There's always emulation.

Great soundtrack too.

 

[PumpkinSpice]

Not sure what the point of 3D Puyo Puyo would be but I'd love to see a (good) version of 2 on 3DS (non-GameGear).

 

[KingBroly]

3D Sonic Spinball sounds awesome..

 

[Yuterald]

Landstalker's all I need.

 

[Firebrand]

Landstalker 3D would actually mean a massive improvement in playability. Platforming with floating blocks and no depth cues was quite a challenge at times.

This is from the non-interactive introduction sequence, but still, try to predict where the guy is going: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=75ZvMkiAfug#t=45s

 

[n64coder]

Claiming to have found it "in the RAM" is probably the most sketch thing about the entire list.

my first reaction was skepticism but thinking about it some more, it could be that he found strings in the common emulator code.

 

[leroidys]

Damn, no Alien Soldier

First thing I looked for :/

 

[Erin S Kittens]

How is Shining in the Darkness not on the list? It would be great in 3D.

The only 3D Classic I need.

 

[Whiteblade999]

Shining Force 2 3D please.

 

[UltimaWeapon]

Comix Zone would be pretty dope in 3D

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

If that list is real, Ima freak the fuck out. There's some incredible stuff there.

 

[AmyS]

I hope it's Golden Axe System 16 arcade version.

Edit: I don't see Thunder Force IV on that list, but damn, that game was made to be made in 3D.

 

[sixteen-bit]

Comix Zone would be pretty dope in 3D

yup

 

[Kouriozan]

Need Puyo Puyo and Shining Force!
Edit : and missed T&E, wow.

 

[evilromero]

Shouldn't we be getting Sonic 2 soon?

 

[cj_iwakura]

Does Sega own the rights to Compile's software?

 

[Firebrand]

How is Shining in the Darkness not on the list? It would be great in 3D.

Oh yes, I'd want this. Might be tricky to make the receding planes be three-dimensional though and still look similar to the original art perhaps?

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Does Sega own the rights to Compile's software?

Pretty sure they do, but not positive. I mean, they did take over the Puyo Puyo series with their own studios, for example.

 

[leroidys]

I hope it's Golden Axe System 16 arcade version.

Edit: I don't see Thunder Force IV on that list, but damn, that game was made to be made in 3D.

Wow, this looks amazing.

I could see names being in memory if they were making it all in one big code base or creating them in multi-game packs, but neither of those cases would ever need a serial number or header for every game.

While I am also sceptical, I should point out that each Sega 3D Classic has the same unified frontend, so if he was poking through the frontend interface, it's possible that those contain vestiges of references to the other games that have also used that frontend, with new titles just added to the end of an internal list.

That said, if that is the case, all that's really proven here is that they've been experimenting with those titles - it doesn't establish any intent to publish them. Indeed, it may well mean that they're titles they've already tested and rejected.

 

[Roto13]

Pfft. Shining Force. Yeah, right. Like they're going to do a 3D classic of a 3/4 overview game.

Toejam & Earl, too, for that matter.

 

[Infernal Monkey]

Oh cool, the remaining 3D Master System games. Wonder if this means Japan's getting a second retail package~

(I hope so, since the first one was the only reason I bought a Japanese 3DS!)

 

[Percy]

Does anyone actually like Comix Zone? That game was trash even when it first came out, yet Sega keep bringing it back.

Disappointed no Sonic 3D either, just so I could see how they name it.

 

[djlr181]

Pretty sure M2 has stated that the Genesis version of Golden Axe would be impossible to translate to 3D. If the list is indeed legit, I wonder if it's more games that M2 has made tests with to see if they would work in 3D.

Comic Zone would be amazing in 3D.

 

[20cent]

M.U.S.H.A. in 3D? Now everyone can play the greatest SHMUP EVAR!

Spoiler

And soundtrack

oh wow yes it is indeed, it was the first game I bought randomly for the MD because Altered Beast was sold out (lol what was I thinking).
No any other shmup could reach the same level of graphics/design/soundtrack for me until Raystorm on PS1. This is a truly exciting news (if true).

 

[wild wild rice]

Well...no Alien Soldier I guess

 

[AmyS]

Wow, this looks amazing.

Yup, TecnoSoft were TecnoGods on MegaDrive/Genesis hardware.

Mobygames said it well:

This is probably the best side scrolling shooter to come out of the 16 bit cartridge based systems.

Its got astonishing graphics, innovative weapons systems, and great control.The sprites and the bosses are brilliantly detailed.

It looks like a Neo Geo game or an arcade game.

 

[@MUWANdo]

I'm pretty sure this list is fake but even if it's not, it correlates with an internal shortlist they made when initiating the project and doesn't really suggest these games are coming in the future, just that they were in consideration at one point.

TurboGrafx-16 teens, lol.

That's why I could see it having game names, but not headers or serial numbers. Serial numbers are something the cartridge needs once for the 3DS to identify it, it serves no other purpose, and I *think* is even created by Nintendo themselves to make sure no two games have the same one.

 

[@MUWANdo]

Yeah, I'm sure he just took titles the devs mentioned in interviews and strung together some bullshit. They've already given detailed explanations for why several of those games didn't happen to begin with.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Even if they make puyo puyo, it wouldnt come out in the West

 

[Conezays]

Have we got a release date for Sonic 2 in NA yet? Loved the 3D classics so far.

 

[PumpkinSpice]

Even if they make puyo puyo, it wouldnt come out in the West

They put out several on the Wii arcade VC only a few years, so it's not that big a stretch.

 

[RedToad64]

I'd love to be able to play Toejam & Earl on 3DS... but this is a really sketchy list. Why would these titles be in the game?

 

[mr teaspoon]

Gimme Comix Zone and TJ&E and I'm a happy guy.

 

[sörine]

Does Sega own the rights to Compile's software?

Only Puyo Puyo, which reverted entirely to Sega when Compile folded. D4 had bought the rest of Compile's catalog although I remember hearing recently that Idea Factory bought the rights from them and have since done nothing with them except that mediocre Sorcery Saga game.

 

[BroBot]

Golden Axe, Comic Zone, and Columns... I think I just may cry. Beautiful.

Spoiler

IF true

 

[Zippedpinhead]

Shining force and landstalker with the 3D treatment?

I want them so much, a bit surprised not to see sonic 3& knuckles in that list though

 

[@MUWANdo]

It's a weird license that I never fully understood and haven't really looked at in a while, but I think the gist of it was that D4 still owns them but they granted Compile Heart a license to make new games based off some old Compile IP.

 

[Soltype]

Damn, no Alien Soldier

I thought they'd do it since they did Gunstar 3D, but no dice.

 

[Piers]

No Sonic 3 remaster.
No Sonic 3(D)

Aaaaaaaaaaagh

 

[lingpanda]

Power Drift slighted again.

Preach!

 

[TheBaldEmperor]

Sonic Spinball yeeessss.

Be still my heart!
