SEGA is bringing some of its classic games to the Nintendo 2DS and 3DS with the SEGA 3D Classics Collection. Priced at $29.99, gamers will receive nine games in the bundle including Power Drift, Puyo Puyo 2, Maze Walker, Fantasy Zone II: The Tears of Opa-Opa, Fantasy Zone II W, Sonic the Hedgehog, Thunder Blade, Galaxy Force II and Altered Beast. SEGA 3D Classics Collection will be available as a physical release as well as on the Nintendo eShop.

Although some of the games are already currently available individually on the Nintendo eShop, the collection will have four games that haven’t been released on the 3DS before, including two that never made it out of Japan (Power Drift and Puyo Puyo 2).

Power Drift is a sprite-based circuit racer game that puts you head-to-head against other AI racers in a twisting, turning, jumping, looping race from start to finish. In Puyo Puyo 2, players get to enjoy a competitive head-to-head puzzle game. You will be able to compete against the AI or friends in local multiplayer. SEGA also notes that “because of the quirks of trying to localize a game hard-coded in Japanese, the game has been left entirely in its original language. English instructions are available in the included digital manual.”

You can get your hands on the collection starting April 26, 2016 with the retail package featuring original artwork by Pokémon art director, Ken Sugimori.
