Sega will be releasing a retail compilation of their 3D Classics collection on December 18th for 3980 yen. Included in the package will be:
- 3D Space Harrier
- 3D Fantasy Zone
- 3D Outrun
- 3D Streets of Rage
- 3D Shinobi 2
- 3D Ecco the Dolphin
- “Bonus” titles Space Harrier 3D and Outrun 3D will be included
4 Corner Games have also come out and said that the game will have six modes, more camera angles (1 optimised for the smaller 3DS screen, one closer to the Wii U game) and a few extra secrets for players to discover.

There are a lot of new elements in the PictoChat 2 stage. In this screenshot, it looks like there is depth to the stage…or like there isn’t. The illusory nature of the drawing is meant to challenge your perspective.
