I’m glad to see some more 3D Classics coming to the 3DS.  I can’t remember the last game that released as a 3D Classic.  The last one I downloaded was Excitebike 3D if that tells you anything.  I’m glad to see that SEGA has finally announced dates for several 3D Classics like the original Sonic, Ecco the Dolphin, and Altered Beast.  The games were announced back in July during a Nintendo Direct Mini so it’s nice to see they’ll be available before the end of the year.

Which of these 3D Classics are you most excited about downloading this Holiday?
