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.

The
virtual hub in Sega Genesis Classics is a retro gamer’s
dream.

go.
