![]() All said and done, the presentation is cool, a little more immersive than just the menus of the old collection. If you are mid-game, you can hold down on the right stick to do a quick save and hold it up to do quick load, it's pretty slick and may come in handy in case you need to stop the game quick but don’t want to lose any progress. This collection also has the modern items that players expect now such as save states, which are implemented very nicey. I wouldn't recommend that for too long as most games just look odd all stretched out. You can also take advantage of the full Switch screen without borders by stretching the graphics to fit the screen. More adjustments can be made to the boarders, filters and control to any game. If you want to play the game in full screen so it plays on the Switch screen with borders you can do that, but if you want to put the game and show it being played on the TV you can do that as well. Many options are available to adjust the screen. When you start up a game, the cartridge is placed in the console and you can start playing. Navigate to the left of the TV and the options for multiplayer and challenges are available (more on these later in the extras section). ![]() Scrolling through the menus takes you around the room, to the right you see the full collection of games all in there boxed glory. An old CRT TV is front and center with the Sega Genesis right underneath. Once that finishes, you jump right into what looks like a typical gamer’s bedroom of the era.

Personally I was not a big fan of Ecco anyway, but it was a very recognizable Sega exclusive at the time. Games like Ecco the Dolphin also was left out. I would say that in many regards the swaps were good, but some games like Sonic the Hedgehog 3 were not included in this new one and were in the old one. Comparing the original Sega collection from last gen, there are some games that got swapped in and out. It is not a deal breaker, but just a strange omission. One puzzling thing I noticed however is that the Switch version did not get the Wonder Boy games, which are included in the Xbox One and PS4 versions. More than 50 games are included and while there are some that are questionable, most are some of the best games to ever come out of the early ‘90s. It does not lie either, as there are some absolute gems on this, such as Phantasy Star IV, any of the Sonic games, any of the Streets of Rage games, Toejam and Earl, any of the Golden Axe and you get the picture. With the Sega Genesis Classics, it includes exactly what the title says: Classics. Let’s take a look at this in three sections: The games, the presentation and the extras.įirst and foremost in an any collection is the amount and types of games that are included. Most, if not all of these games have been reviewed many times before so I am going to look into this as more of an overview of this collection as a whole. I’m sure I am not alone is saying this but it’s about time! This collection is one of the most comprehensive packages of classic games and is an absolute dream on the Nintendo Switch. In our SEGA Genesis Classics Review, IGN awarded it a 7.8, knocking it for not having "all the first-party hits that it should" despite featuring "a good batch of games and some extra niceties.Retro collections have been around for a while, including a previous version of the Sega Genesis Classics under the title Sonic’s Ultimate Genesis Collection, but what sets this new one apart is that it's the first major Sega one to hit a Nintendo console. Back in March, Sega told IGN that it was "focused on the launch" of the collection on those platforms and declined to comment about the possibility of a Switch port.
