Over the years, I have played a few more Sega games, like Beyond Oasis and recently the first Phantasy Star, but there are still a lot of Sega games I haven’t played. Recently, I decided to get the Sega Genesis Classics collection for Nintendo Switch (helped that it was on sale). What…

A demo has been available on the Nintendo Switch eshop for awhile for it but I decided not to download it. Then, one night, I was bored and decided to give it a go. What do I think of the demo?

Will this be the case or will the slight performance drops hold it back? Let's take a look!
