The RetroBeat: Genesis on Nintendo Switch Online isn’t that exciting

Normally, I’d be super excited to see retro games from a system (especially a non-Nintendo one) coming to Switch. But there is something odd, or at the very least redundant, about seeing Genesis games coming to Nintendo Switch Online.

Right now, you can buy the Sega Genesis Classics collection on Switch for $15. This is a fantastic compilation. It includes over 50 games, including most of the heavy-hitters you expect, like Phantasy Star IV, Gunstar Heroes, Streets of Rage 2, and Shinobi III. Whenever people asked me about Genesis games on Switch, I always said that they already are on there. You just have to buy this collection.
