SEGA has no plans to bring SEGA 3D Reprints Archives to North America, as the company has stated on Twitter.

It appears us in North America won’t be able to get these classics in a physical form anytime soon. Keep in mind that you can still purchase some of these games on the eShop with digital downloads, and more are on the way in 2015.

Sonic Riders was once in development for the Game Boy Advance, according to the portfolio and resumes for artists Keith Erickson’s portfolio and Arvin Bautista.

Backbone Entertainment was developing the handheld port for the GBA alongside the PSP edition. However, the version for Nintendo’s portable was cancelled after SEGA’s Japanese division saw the game and requested they incorporate more 3D. Because the engine would have needed a complete overhaul, the project was scrapped.
