SEGA has let us know that after the release on the PS4 and Xbox One earlier this year, SEGA Mega Drive Classic is finally set to release both digitally and physically on Nintendo Switch this winter, with some brand-new features.
Those earlier releases got some pretty mixed reviews over the emulation and some quality issues. I hope this time between releases have given SEGA the chance to punch up the game. If not, I’ll stick to the PS3 Genesis collection that has yet to be topped.
Hot on the heels of the SEGA AGES titles announced last week and set to launch during the Tokyo Gaming Show, SEGA continues a winter of bringing great classics to the portable Switch.
Retro fans can now finally play the Mega Drive collection on their way to school or work, in their lunch break or basically anywhere on the go! SEGA Mega Drive Classics has over 50 retro favourites to experience across every genre: arcade action, shooters, beat’m ups, puzzlers and hidden gems, with a raft of modern features.
Exclusively for the Nintendo Switch players can now compete in same-screen local coop mode and use each Joy-Con individually if desired. Familiar features like online multiplayer, achievements, mirror modes, rewind and save states are all part of the collection for everyone to revisit and enjoy.
