SEGA Genesis Classics getting delisted on Switch soon

Post by marurun »

I know that the Nintendo Online subscription expansion tier gets access to a number of Sega Genesis games, but the larger collection released before then, SEGA Genesis Classics, is apparently set to be delisted from the eShop. If you buy it before it's gone you'll retain access to it, but you won't be able to buy it once it's gone.

Appreciate the heads up on this, Maru. That's too bad the collection is getting delisted though. Did this also come out in physical format for the Switch, or am I mistaking it with a different set of games?

There was a physical release of this, I think. And it turns out this collection, and a variety of other classic Sega games, are being delisted from other stores, too. Sega must have something planned.

Sega pretty much repackages all the Genesis stuff every few years. Like there have been collections on just about every system I can think of PS2-onwards.

Even the Dreamcast had one!

The delisting also includes a bunch of Dreamcast-era titles that were released on PC and Xbox, and a few other random titles. Also includes individual Genesis titles released on Steam.
