Sega just announced that they are releasing the Sega 3D Classics Print 2 collection for 3DS they released in Japan last year for NA. This contains 9 games (all listed on the official website) which are; Power Drift, Puyo Puyo Tsu, Fantasy Zone II W, Sonic 1, Thunder Blade, Galaxy Force II, Altered Beast, and also the 3D Master System games Fantasy Zone II and Maze Runner. Though not confirmed to be in the NA collection, the collection also featured the Master System version of Fantasy Zone 1 as an unlockable game in the Japanese version, so hopefully that is also included here.
The 3D Classics release of Power Drift, Puyo Puyo Tsu, and the two Master System games are being released in the west for the first time. The box art for this NA release is also based on the 2nd pack featuring artwork by none other than the artist of Pokémon, Ken Sugimori.
Sega also released screenshots of the collection:
The pack will be available at retail and the eShop on April 26th, 2016 in NA for $29.99 USD and $44.99 CDN.
Via the official NA website and the JP website. Pricing and eShop release info was provided via Nintendo Everything.
Hope there will be a European release!
Honestly, the thing that bums me out a little is the lack of Streets of Rage 2 and Gunstar Heroes. Probably gonna have to wait for a second collection, but I already own them digitally, so I can’t be too miffed. Either way, nice to see Sega’s getting back into the spirit of physical compilations.
Sugimori-Legendary Pokemon artist doing art for sega? This could be very interesting…
I’m a pretty bad Sega apologist but even I think the amount of hype they put into this was squandered…

You have no one to blame but yourself
So this was the big announcement SEGA had for us? C’mon… I guess this will do.
There is no proof that this is supposed to be the big announcement.
Oh okay.
No Volume 1 and nothing for Europe as usual. Go back to sleep SEGA. Small studios everywhere makes ten new games per year but you’re unable to publish a compilation of 30 years old games in the whole world.
