Sega 3D Classics Wave 2 |OT| October: 3D Sonic 2
- Thread starter Nachos
- Start date
Nope. Unless it happens in Japan as a standalone eShop release, I don't really see it happening here. Same with Power Drift, although that game at least is in English so would stand a better chance.
The reason they give for the lack of major new bonus ("Grantanoff") features in Power Drift and Puyo Puyo is that they consider those games to be the "Grantanoff" of the Archives 2 package in general. Which makes me wonder if they're even planning to do eShop releases of those two.
Sounds like Archives 2 also includes small upgrades to the other games? Like better sound emulation on Sonic 1 and Altered Beast and some kind of fixes for FZ2 Link Loop Land (that will get patched into the eShop version later). Possibly also proper music emulation in Galaxy Force 2? The Google translation on this article was particularly unreadable.

Any news of a possible Sonic 3&K release?
If we don't ever get Power Drift, I'm going to lose my shizzle. So to speak.

They need to release more of these.
They are top tier remasters.

Correct me if i'm wrong but the 3D classics series has finished development.
We gotta light Sega up on social media like a Christmas tree.
They've been "finished" a couple of times, so it's hard to say. They seem open to more if the demand is there. They definitely want to do a third Archives compilation at least.
It would be nice if those updates made it to the eShop versions, but I won't hold my breath.
Why wouldn't they??...they've made eShop releases out of the rest of the 3D classic games!

There's a secret third moving cabinet background in Power Drift. Same unlock technique as other games: press and hold A on the background selection for a few secs.

Hmm ^ I wonder if it's Turbo Out Run or Super Monaco GP.
Edit:
Neither of those games should be overly difficult for M2 to do, as Turbo Out Run used the same hardware as Out Run and Super Hang-On, while Super Monaco GP used the same hardware as After Burner II and Thunder Blade.

That ad made me want to go buy Fantasy Zone on the eShop. Went on and then found out I already bought it! Never thought that would happen to me lol

My OCD was triggered by the cart only Mark III games on the shelf of boxed Mega Drive games.
If you look closely at the games on the shelves, you'll spot a few that haven't been released on the 3DS yet: Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle, Space Harrier II, Super Shinobi (a.k.a. The Revenge of Shinobi) and...Virtua Racing!
Could this be a hint of things to come or am I reading to much into it?
EDIT: Beaten!

God, I hope that's a tease. I'd love a handheld Revenge of Shinobi. Hope there would be more arcade games coming to back up those Mega Drive games though.
Some info from a recent launch event in Tokyo: http://www.famitsu.com/news/201512/28096466.html
Among other things, they repeat that a third compilation is possible if this one sells. They name-drop Enduro Racer, Turbo OutRun and Last Survivor.

there are games on a shelf?
Well, we've gotten eShop releases of the rest of the eShop games. Puyo Puyo and Power Drift are currently exclusive to the cartridge. I do hope so though!
The last wave was very arcade heavy, and they've mentioned these are harder to produce. I'd be quite okay with a wave 3 being mostly console titles.
Really though, I'd be happy with anything as a wave 3
... give me 3D Virtua Racing Deluxe

I just beat Alex Kidd in the Enchanted Castle for the first time ever on Christmas Day randomly :lol.
So that's one I could do without, Virtua Racing (and bringing Power Drift over) is the dream though.

I totally agree with this. I want optimized arcade ports, taking advantage of the hardware. Virtua Racing, Virtua Fighter, Virtual ON, touch-based Virtua Cop, even!
Just having these games in stereo 3D is enough to make me want to play them again, and it's not as if they're picking bad console games, either--it's not like they're giving us Fatal Labyrinth or Flicky or whatever, these are top-tier games we're getting.
That being said, I really hope they don't do Alex Kidd and the Enchanted Castle, that game really isn't very good.
Those were names given by the audience, I think.
In other interviews I've seen, Horii has said he wants to do both versions (AC/SMS) of Line of Fire.

Altered Beast...
But the real point is that 3D adds very little of value to 2D sidescrollers, but makes Super Scaler and 3D stuff come completely to life.
Galaxy Force II on 3DS is literally the ultimate version. Sonic and Streets of Rage and Gunstar Heroes I still prefer to play on my Mega Drive.
I wouldn't say it adds "very little value"; it looks fuckin' cool, that's value enough, and that's before improvements like Gunstar's Gunslinger mode which is now my preferred way to play the game (and makes me want an Alien Soldier 6-button mod...)
I also think they've exhausted the must-have arcade titles from that era, frankly; it's always cool to see lesser-known games get some attention but if I'm being honest I don't really need Lone Survivor or A.B. Cop or even Turbo Outrun or Revenge of Death Adder. I do want to see some Model 1 stuff but VF's the only one I genuinely want to play again.
More than anything, I just want them to do Space Harrier 2 DX, ie a more-or-less original game on arcade hardware using SH2 as a template.

That would be the greatest thing ever.
oh man, that would rule
I want them to do Daytona, ManX TT, Sega Rally, VF2, Sega Jet Ski and so on!
A gyro based Virtua Cop would work as well!

I like it more than Altered Beast FWIW, but then again I don't think either titles hold a candle to everything else released in the U.S. and Europe eShops so far.
Damn straight. Having Kamiya contribute as lead designer would make a ton of sense here, and there's a lot of potential for a boss rush mode and/or System 32-style visuals approximating something as bright and fantastic as Planet Harriers.

Speaking of Golden Axe, I forgot to mention that the proposed bonus titles for Archives 2 were indeed Golden Axe and Alien Syndrome.
They ended up going with Power Drift because, once again, M2 had already begun working on a port in secret. The producer wanted the second game to be a puzzle game for the sake of variety; he suggested Columns but M2 thought that'd be boring as they'd just done Colums for the Yakuza 0 Vita app, so they did Puyo instead.
Well, Fantasy Zone 2 DX doesn't bear much resemblance to the original game, either... it'd just be an excuse to make a new, somewhat-authentic Space Harrier game. Even just enhancing the original SH2 with true sprite scaling would be nice.

But there is no perfect way to play Sonic 3 & Knuckles on a handheld yet. Sonic CD, too. I would love to still get them. Also, I'm from Europe, so there actually is no other way as good as playing 3D Sonic 2 available without import. 50Hz...

Not to mention that not everyone has a Mega Drive lying around. The console titles are welcome for many of us.
Who doesn't have a Mega Drive lying around? That's no way to live.
