- “Sega Genesis Classics” will bring fan favorites like “Sonic
the Hedgehog 2,” “Streets of Rage” and “Golden Axe” to the
Nintendo Switch this winter. - These classic titles have been enhanced with save states,
rewind, and online multiplayer. - Switch players can play with a single joycon, making it easy
for friends to join in on the fun. - “Sega Genesis Classics” was also released on Xbox One and
PlayStation 4 in May 2018.
With the announcement of “Sega Genesis Classics” for the Nintendo
Switch, a huge collection of retro games will soon be playable on
the go. The collection features more than 50 titles from the Sega
Genesis, a console that helped define gaming in the ’90s.
These old games will come with new features, including online
multiplayer, mirror mode, a rewind function, and save states to
allow players to pick up their games wherever they left off. The
collection organizes the available games in a virtual hub where
players can select which title they want to play, and what
backgrounds they prefer as they play in the Genesis’s 4:3 aspect
ratio.
Nintendo Switch owners will be able to play offline
multiplayer with individual Joy-Cons on a single screen, whether
the console is in portable mode or docked. With so many games
titles into a single package, the collection is perfect for retro
gamers looking to bring their favorite games on the
go.
Some of the more memorable titles include “Sonic the
Hedgehog” “Streets of Rage, “Golden Axe” and “Gunstar Heroes,”
but the collection has a few lesser known gems as well.
“Sega Genesis Classics” will have both a digital and physical
release for the Switch, and pre-orders are now available, though
the final release date hasn’t been set. To see the full list of
games included in the collection, visit the “Sega Genesis Classics” website.
