SEGA Classics Decal Sheet Coming to 3DS
February 10, in the year of our Lord 2016 --
Bad news: You can't Power Drift yet. Good news: on launch day
for the SEGA 3D Classics Collection, you can Power Drift with
awesome SEGA decals all over your Nintendo 3DS! That's right,
pre-orders and a limited number of launch copies will come with
the SEGA Classics Decal Sheet bonus item. The sheet will be
available in every physical launch edition of the collection,
and features nine SEGA logos and console stickers. The decals
are a silver hue to add a nice contrast to your Nintendo 3DS,
giving it a distinct retro sheen. The collection features some
of SEGA's signature games, and the bonus item adds the right
amount of vintage goodness to complete the throwback experience.
Here's a quick SEGA history primer on the decals:
Master System logo - Originally released in 1985 as the Sega
Mark-III in Japan, the Master System was redesigned and renamed
when it launched in North America in 1986 with an added FM Sound
Unit.
Master System console - An authentic line-art likeness of the
North American/European version of the console!
Mega Drive logo - Originally released in Japan in 1988, the Mega
Drive was the 16-bit successor to the Master System. Widely
considered one of the greatest video game consoles of all time,
the system was home to many classic games such as Sonic the
Hedgehog, and many more.
Genesis logo - Please choose a "Blast Processing" joke to your
liking. Are we good here?
Genesis console - An authentic line-art likeness of the Model 1
SEGA Genesis console!
16-Bit - Emblazoned on the front of the Genesis, the 16-Bit logo
let everyone know you were working with POWER. Affix this decal
to give a blast processing boost to whatever needs it most.*
Professor Asobin -Before Sonic, Alex Kidd, and Opa Opa, this
dapper white rabbit appeared in most SG-1000 game manuals and
gave helpful advice to players. Although he was briefly replaced
by Dr. Games, he soon returned and appeared in game manuals up
until the Mega Drive/Genesis era.
SEGA logo - A SEGA decal collection wouldn't be complete without
the company logo!
GigaDrive logo - This last logo represents something different
than the other ones we've covered because it's a "virtual
console." In order for the SEGA 3D Classics Collection to run
perfectly on the Nintendo 3DS, developer M2 created the
GigaDrive which is how these games take full advantage of the
3DS's capabilities (such as stereoscopic 3D).
