This collection is being released in physical form in Japan, it includes:

3D Space Harrier
3D Fantasy Zone
3D Outrun
3D Streets of Rage
3D Shinobi 2
3D Ecco the Dolphin
Space Harrier 3D
Out Run 3D

The artwork is by Ken Sugimori of Pokemon fame, that is Blaze drawn in Pokemon style.

Lets hope they release it in the west too, there will probably be a second collection later with

3D Super Hang On
3D Sonic the Hedgehog
3D Altered Beast
3D Galaxy Force 2
3D Afterburner 2
3D Fantasy Zone 2
3D Thunder Blade

It seems that Ken is a big Sega fan, his username in twitter is Super 32 x https://twitter.com/SUPER_32X

That 3D Space Harrier is one of the best ports I ever played in my life.

I just might buy a 3DS for this, so it would be a good move at Sega or Nintendo's part to localize this.

>> No.1965292

>>1965281
Don't buy one till next year (also wait to see if they localize it, it is not certain at all)
Nintendo is releasing a new 3DS in the Asia Pacific region this Xmas with twice the power, better 3D, 2 extra buttons and a c-stick, for the same prize as the old 3DS. Next year it comes to the west. It is going to be the Game Boy color of the 3DS.

Having played a few of these games I can vouch for the amount of quality M2 put into these ports. They're really well done, the 3d effects are nice and in some games (shooters and Streets of Rage in particular) they actually enhance the gameplay by giving you better depth perception.

Sega did everything better than Nintendo except management.

>Sega funded and nurtured third parties unlike Nintendo

None of that matters if you're a poorly managed company. If Sega was anywhere as well managed as Nintendo, Nintendo would've been the one being a software publusher.

Yeah but that was game freak when they were just getting started.

>> No.1965641

Judging from his oversight with Drill Dozer, Sugimori probably did the lion's share of the co-directing for Pulseman. Tajiri was off doing Pokémon by that point.

This physical compilation won't get localized if the digital releases aren't, and then I doubt SoA will eat the costs of retail production and distribution. A second cart with 3D Galaxy Force II and the rest would be logical for Japanese customers. However you get them, the M2 3D Classics will go down in memory as some of the best-ever porting efforts. I'd love to see one last hurrah beyond Thunder Blade, like Power Drift or (lol no) OutRunners.

I keep having this crazy fantasy where I somehow found myself back in time, and I change some historical events related to videogames. What if Sega made Super Mario Bros? What if Nichibutsu made Zelda? What if Sony never made the PlayStation? One such idea would be going to a company like KID and proposing the idea of Pokemon for the Famicom, complete with special hardware.

When did Pokemon's developmet start, anyway? 1994? That's plenty of time, and I reckon the GameGear still had some traction left in it. And before they became a subsidiary, Gamefreak was a third party through and through, so this begs the question. If Nintendo was such a tormentor of third parties, then why did some of them come to them and eventually become part of Nintendo? Was Nintendo selective of companies, or was that whole "Nintendo is the bane of third parties" thing exaggerated?

This is one of the few arcade perfect Space Harrier ports. The fact it has extras makes it that much better.

Also, I know Sega won't do it because lolSega, but I'd kill for them to make a limited print of this in the US. I have quite a few of the 3D Classics already, but I'd love to actually have a physical set, Nintendo ended up bringing the NES Remix physical release to the west after all.

By the way, is Season 2 hitting the US any time soon? By the looks of Season 1's American release, it seems we'd get it by November.

Sega is lucky to have even been able to finance this sort of thing. SoR would only put them deeper in the hole

Actually, the early development for Red and Green in Japan started in 1990 and they were originally called Capsule Monsters (Capumon). It has been a very difficult development, stopped and restarted many times because of several issues, financial ones too. The games were to be published in 1995 in Japan, but then they were definitely postponed for '96. Gold and Silver faced also a difficult development, but a less longer one.

yeah I'd kill to play the alpha or beta version of R/G, according to the drawings and some interviews with the staff the game looked very different from what it actually became, you could buy monsters or eggs from the shops and carry them with you and appartently it had different mechanics too, based more on the player than the monsters, IIRC. Also, there's leftover data in the game about different Badges and what looks like a ranking system.
Another thing that looked very interesting from the screenshots is how alpha Gold/Silver looked like.

The PS1 being a failure is just too grand-scale and unfathomable for me to imagine. The Sega CD being a failure makes tons of sense. It couldn't do nearly enough to distance itself from the Genesis. The PS1 did stuff the Sega CD could only dream of. As for what the 3D0 could do, I actually have no idea and I'm probably going to look into.

These whatifs and dream scenario discussions are hilarious and always fun to ponder on.

>> No.1969781

M2's got enough talent now that they could make great new arcade games for SEGA and others. Their work with ports is amazing, but the Rebirth series and Fantasy Zone II DX shows their instinct for game design.
