It's much more than just a collection of retro games. It's a nostalgia simulator. Instead of some plain main menu that you can click into each game from, the main menu is a bedroom with all the 50+ games lined up on a shelf that you click on to put the cartridge inside the Genesis. You get to change the bedroom settings to pick the time of day. You can customize the TV screen. The room is decorated with some novelty items from the games. I had a Sega Genesis 3 and didn't have a ton of games as a kid, but almost all of the ones I did have are on here. I still have my console and games, and they work, but they're in fragile condition, and I don't want to risk breaking them by playing with them. This Switch game solves that issue.I think it would be best to play with ... MoreIt's much more than just a collection of retro games. It's a nostalgia simulator.

This Switch game solves that issue.I think it would be best to play with a Genesis controller for the Switch. I play with a wireless Switch controller, and I can't seem to get a hang of the button placements from one game to the next. Nevertheless, it is very fun to revisit some of my favorite childhood games and to also try out "new" ones that I never had, all wrapped up in one affordable game.

I love that I can have a nice collection of classic Sega genesis games for Nintendo Switch, a console I can play on the go or at home on my TV. However, the emulation on this collection is horrible. There is very bad latency between button presses on the controller and action on screen. We are talking about Sega games here, they are usually fast paced and require accurate timing to when you press the button, but on the Switch it's nearly impossible to play most of these games because of the delayed action of button presses. Press jump in sonic, takes half a second for games to detect you pressed the button. Did many tests, it's not a connection between the Switch and TV being delayed, it happens in handheld mode as well. Test various controllers from Joy-Con, pro ... MoreI love that I can have a nice collection of classic Sega genesis games for Nintendo Switch, a console I can play on the go or at home on my TV.

Test various controllers from Joy-Con, pro controllers both 1st and 3rd party, and Gamecube controllers. The delay is present in all of them. Maybe it is my Switch, tested it in other Switch consoles, nope, not a problem with my Switch, same issue on other systems. Giving a two start because it's a great collection of amazing games, otherwise I would 1 start it. Also Best Buy please credit my 25 points for this review. I never receive points, I've written 10+ reviews over the past year, still yet to see my reward point balance change once from writing these.

To be honest, I could play all these games on my raspberry pi; but the fact that I can have them on my switch; and in a single card, is the main reason for me to get this collection.There are a lot of classig megadrive/genesis games; most of them are the best games made for the console; and beside few missing titles that I would love to see on the console (like some more fighting and driving games; in lieu of the many phantasy stars ); but overall the collection is very well balanced.The graphic is 1:1 with the original; and you can enhance it if you like, using filters; also you have the chance to save states for each game (up to 3), so you can just save the game at any time and continue again from that point; the beauty of playing old games on a modern ... MoreTo be honest, I could play all these games on my raspberry pi; but the fact that I can have them on my switch; and in a single card, is the main reason for me to get this collection.There are a lot of classig megadrive/genesis games; most of them are the best games made for the console; and beside few missing titles that I would love to see on the console (like some more fighting and driving games; in lieu of the many phantasy stars ); but overall the collection is very well balanced.The graphic is 1:1 with the original; and you can enhance it if you like, using filters; also you have the chance to save states for each game (up to 3), so you can just save the game at any time and continue again from that point; the beauty of playing old games on a modern console.It is mostly aimed at old owner of the console; since most of the games are not really holding up to modern games; although with the explosion of retro games and metroidvania pixellated games, you can almost sell these games as new.Get it if you do not have a raspberry pi or another console that can play emulated games; otherwise it is up to you to decide if these old games are worth 29 dollars.
