I’ve bought some of the Sega #D classics for the 3DS. Here are some quick thoughts/recommendations:
- Space Harrier: If you’re into “retro” arcade games or just fast-paced arcade games in general, this is well worth your $6. Best version of Space Harrier I’ve seen outside the arcades.
- Super Hang On: Another retro arcade game, and another worthy purchase. Gyro controls are surprisingly fun with this title.
- Galaxy Force 2: Fun, but this game will chew you up and spit you out. Expect to die. Excellent use of 3D – probably the best 3D in all the classics released so far.
- Sonic: it’s Sonic 1 from the Genesis with minor 3D enhancements and the spin dash. Get this if you want digitally-available Sonic 1 on your 3DS instead of on your phone.
- Ecco: Ecco’s definitely an acquired taste. This is the Genesis version with minor 3D enhancements. Get if you love Ecco already, otherwise try one of the other classics.
- Streets of Rage: Pretty fun (though very basic) beat-em-up. 3D’s actually quite useful in this game in showing where you are relative to enemies. A one-hit-kill mode has been added if you feel like just blowing through all the stages. This one’s great fun, but we really need Streets of Rage 2 … now!
