SEGA Ages has seen a strong response overseas, but disappointing reception in Japan
Posted on 5 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch eShop | 0 comments
According to SEGA Ages senior producer Kagasei Shimomura, the overseas reception to the series has been much higher than anticipated. Sonic, Out Run, and Alex Kidd in Miracle World have received an especially big response, particularly in Europe.

Shimomura added that SEGA Ages on Switch has been selling less than half as well as the 3DS classics that were developed a few years ago.
