SEGA Mega Drive Classics Review
Sega's had more than one stab at creating a comprehensive collection of its best Mega Drive titles and, as a result, Sega Mega Drive Classics does lose some of its impact due to sheer familiarity; for example, we already have an immaculately-ported version of Sonic on the Switch eShop right now. Even so, it's hard to argue with the 50-odd games that ship with this new compendium, and only a fool would contest the fact that it showcases some of the best games of the 16-bit era. The modern-day enhancements are welcome too, and while this isn't the first time many of these games have gone portable (Sega Mega Drive Collection on the Sony PSP did that over a decade ago, and let's not forget the amazing Sega 3D Classics range on 3DS, which overlaps with some entries in this selection), it's a real boon to be able to play the likes of Phantasy Star IV or Story of Thor on the bus. When you take into account how much quality there is on offer here, Sega Mega Drive Classics becomes an easy recommendation.

Overall, Sega Genesis Classics is a neat collection to have on the go and on your Switch. However, quite a few games are missing, probably even more than I have mentioned that people would want to play in a Genesis collection. It’s priced at $29.99, which could be worth it depending on if you like the games in the collection. I would recommend, before you decide to buy this game collection, you look up the games included in the library to see if you have enough games you would want to play for that price.

Overall, Sega Genesis Classics is not a bad selection of games from the Genesis library. There's a very competent emulation of the gameplay from the original hardware. However, it lacks some key games and extras we got in past compilations, and the sound emulation is lacking.
