The original black Genesis cartridge boxes look way cooler than the red ones. Just sayin'.

I actually like the revised boxes better. Even the Genesis/Sega CD 2. But that could just be because that's when I finally got into Sega, and I'm bias. Who knows lol.

I think this is the first time we are getting three Genesis games
that isn't already on the Genesic Classics collection.

Alisia Dragoon is one I’ve always wanted in a collection.

My issue with all these Switch games is the input lag. I own a Switch. I have online for it. And I even bought the NES controllers back when they came out. But after trying them, I realized that there's too much lag for anything requiring precise timing/twitch skills, that it just isn't worth it. Maybe if I didn't already own all these games and consoles and a CRT to play them on, I might try to push through it, since the OG stuff is so expensive to get into. But I DO own the original games and hardware and correct TV, so for me, it's almost pointless. Why would I want to make an already very hard game like Earthworm Jim even harder, when I can just go downstairs into my game room and pop the real cart in and play it correctly? Doesn't make much sense.
