With that news in mind, I decided to write this article because I wanted to introduce people to these games while they still have a chance to purchase and play them. These games are an interesting part of the 3DS library and, as things currently stand, they will no longer be available for sale on the Nintendo eShop after March 2023, as Nintendo is closing down the store, and with that goes the only way to play a lot of these games. The project caught people’s attention immediately, because M2 are known to be emulation experts, and rather than just copy the ROMs and call it a night, each title has been re-coded from scratch with help from the games’ original source codes.įor the console ports, M2 developed a custom-built “Giga Drive” emulator used for porting the Mega Drive/Genesis titles to the 3DS hardware while the arcade ports were developed using the original PCBs and cabinet hardware as reference.

Later that year, this series was localised for North American and European markets. In 2013, developer M2 and Sega began releasing a series of 3D-enhanced ports for the Nintendo 3DS in Japan.
