Take this one with a pinch of salt, but a post has been shared on NeoGaf which could point to even more SEGA classics getting the 3D treatment on the 3DS. If the rumour is to be believed a 3DS user has uncovered some hidden data within the recently released 3D Gunstar Heroes which reveals the names of other titles which have not yet been announced. The list is as follows:
- Puyo Puyo Tsu
- Golden Axe
- Comix Zone
- Landstalker
- Sonic Spinball
- M.U.S.H.A.
- ToeJam & Earl
- Shining Force
- Poseidon Wars 3D
- Missile Defense 3D
- Columns
- Maze Hunter
- Zaxxon 3D
- Blade Eagle 3D
- Streets of Rage 3
- Line of Fire
There are various arguments for and against this being legitimate. In its favour is the fact that a shared front-end with the games could potentially hold this sort of data. On the flipside some of these titles have previously been highlighted by M2 and described as games that were considered but not pursued; there's a suspicion that the supposed hacker has taken a combination of interview talk and fan wishlists to make this up.
With that in mind we should perhaps merely take it as a chance to share our SEGA 3D Classics hopes and dreams; which games do you want from future entries in this series?

"Landstalker" and "Shining Force" will probably look really awesome in 3D indeed!
I'm not entirely sure how or where those values are found, but a lot of the community are skeptical of it for now.
I'd be too, really. Don't really know what to think of this bit of data that was found. Maybe a little more thorough research from the hacking community would reveal more.
All in all, hidden text in games are just that - hidden text. Until any confirmation comes of any of these titles, I'd say take with a bit of salt, but remain hopeful that some of the many titles would come out.
Myself? Comix Zone would be interesting in 3D. Seeing pages rip in the 3D view would be amazing in my point of view.
Please oh Please! Phantasy Star 1-4 SEGA 3D Classics on 3DS.
Just give me even 1 of the Phantasy Star games as a 3D Classic and I would be so happy!
ZAXXON 3D, I BEG YOU!!!
I'd take Landstalker. QuackShot and Thunderforce IV are my favourites tho.
Really enjoying Sonic 2 atm.
I want a new Golden Axe, but on a Nintendo console.
Until they mention anything on the sega blog, I would take it with a pinch of salt. All those games would be very nice nonetheless!
Many titles id love the M2 love to go to but M.U.S.H.A. is awesome.
Landstalker please!
Ooh, a Puyo Puyo game.
See, that part makes it instantly false. If it is true, then Japan-only.
World of Illusion starring Mickey & Donald !
Zaxxon 3D and ToeJam and Earl if you please.
Musha, Comix Zone, Ristar, and Phantasy Star II/IV for the single-player.
Toejam and Earl would be amazing for the cooperative play!
Also, would love SoR3. You get to play as a kangaroo with boxing gloves, if I remember correctly.
a 3D Ristar and Dynamite Headdy would be amazing
Haven't played most of these, but Sonic Spinball and ToeJam and Earl sound incredible!
Since 3D classics was first announced I've thought that Shining Force (plus 2) and Golden Axe would look great in 3D.
I'll take Toe Jam and Earl...and I think the sequel would be a nice touch too! Sonic Spinball should be good in 3D too...especially when you collect a chaos emerald and Sonic jumps at the screen!
I'd be gunning for Shining Force and Toejam & Earl but yeah, even if the list is legit, there would be no more than a handful developed, no doubt.
Shining Force! Toejam and Earl! I hope this is true *
*I'm not sure it is though, as Sega doesn't own the rights to Toejam & Earl...
Having those 3D SMS games on the 3DS is a no-brainer, and they wouldn't even really have to change anything, since they're already in 3D.
3-d sega advance games
When's 3D Ristar coming out?
I would get Golden Axe and Columns. Hopefully they will do Golden Axe 2 at some point.
3D M.U.S.H.A.
Golden axe, sonic spinball and comix zone please. A couple of those are available in other packages on other consoles so there is a high chance they will get the 3d remake. Highest chance is golden axe since it was an arcade game.
I'll wait for the gba chao garden 3d classic.
Just the chao garden. No need for the actual games it came with.
I would still love to see Shining in the Darkness 3d and Powerdrift. That list up there isn't so bad but neither of these titles are on it
I absolutely adored Landstalker, but the jumping parts were soooo frustrating b/c the isometric viewpoint made it nearly impossible to tell where in space the next block was. I'd love to see Landstalker redone but in 3D with a movable camera. That being said, the camera should probably only be allowed to be used during jumping.
-Landstalker (with above caveat)
-Shining Force 1/2
-Sonic 3
==crazy ones to follow=====
-Virtua Racing
-Panzer Dragoon 1/2
-Nights
Really hope this turn out to be false! On this list I'd only get Golden Axe and maybe Streets of Rage 3. Of all the great Sega games out there, this list is really crap (IMHO ).
Skimming through a Top 100 Genesis-list (and not considering copyrights etc.), these would be great:
I'm taking this news with a whole bag of salt. True or not, it would be nice to see more SEGA 3D classics hit the 3DS eshop; there's been a drought of VC games there as of late.
Out of the games listed, I would love to see Golden Axe and Shining Force the most.
I just want Sonic 3. Sonic 3-D, it makes a lot of sense. S3 always seems to get neglected by Sega though, so I'm not expecting it at all. Out of that list, I only really want Golden Axe - and maybe Comix Zone... but I'm not very good at CZ to tell the truth.
Shining Force please.
The most obvious one missing is Vectorman. That would actually look cool in 3D.
It's not happening.
I'll take M.U.S.H.A. and Landstalker thank you !
If this is true then I will be getting shining force day one. It is possibly my favorite Mega Drive game when I was a kid and I still hold it dear to my heart. I
Man just give me Sonic 3 and Sonic & Knuckles and I'm good.
POWER DRIFT!!!!
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Oc85td77ABw
Imagine that in 3D
@JaxonH definitely
That would be incredible! I hope sega keeps them coming!! Wish they also would jump on Wii u already!! And add power drift to that list! Great game!!
COMIX ZONE!!!
I'm going to be incredibly disappointed if Comix Zone doesn't happen.
Sonic 3 & Knuckles is the top priority. Come on now.
Even though it's a rumor.......
NO RISTAR IN ALL CAPITALS!?!?!?!
I hope this turns out to be true. I still cant see why Nintendo cant port the Wii's virtual console library over to the 3DS and Wii U eshop. Still, I'll take my SEGA games with a side of 3D.
damn it, still no ristar, dynamite headdy, or phantasy star.
whatever. i guess i will wait for the next wave. still probably picking up shining force tho.
Maze Hunter 3D and M.U.S.H.A. in 3D! Yes please!!!
Give me Golden Axe and vector man SEGA!!! One more thing SEGA make some new games for once, like a new Golden Axe would be amazing for the 3DS!
I would die for Landstalker and Shining Force (I + II) in 3D!
Power Drift, Super Monaco GP arcade, Enduro Racer, Rad Mobile. Golden Axe Arcade Version.
M2 wouldn't have a list that long I'm sure. What is known is that the West is supporting sales of this 3D range from good sales of 3D Megadrive games. Let's hope the next batch sell well so it funds more challenging and exciting remakes than most on that list
Gyylleaaaarrrghghhh any one of Shining Force, Toejam & Earl, and Columns would be enough for me to find a way to surgically graft my 3DS to my hands. Even M.U.S.H.A. would make me consider some kind of body modification involving velcro. I have half of those games on my Wii, and have been seriously considering getting the other half, but since I'm not able to find much Wii-time these days, having them on my 3DS would guarantee that I'd actually play them regularly during my daily commute and get my money's worth. I'm going to go download the other 3D classics that I skipped now in order to make this dream ever so slightly closer to reality.
I would love to see:
Comix Zone
Landstalker
M.U.S.H.A.
Shining Force
Streets of Rage 3
Line of Fire
SNES games on Wii VC have a similar sort of list of titles and not all of them saw release. The SNES Wii VC ones had some really interesting third party things in there like Illusion of Gaia, Aladdin and Smash TV.
Such a list for these 3DS games here can be verified with a 'mere' decrypted dump of the game or a RAM dump of your own. It would be curious to see if the list changed over time or is abandoned.
How about Pengo 3D, Pitfall Arcade 3D, and Frogger 3D?
|sf>I suspect this could just be a list of titles that the company has attempted to convert during the various stages of the past, given some of the titles we've read within interviews. Games from M2 in this series have released in small batches of three to six.
Despite that, I think it's encouraging that the list contains a variety of genres. Personally, Maze Hunter 3D and Zaxxon 3D (from the Sega Master System era) have been on my most-wanted list for a while, but I'd probably buy any of those titles (except "Line of Fire" is a title foreign to me and I'm terrible at Comix Zone).
Ranger X ftw!
