Sonic, Ecco and other 3D remakes hitting 3DS eShop this winter

Upgraded 3D remakes of eight classic Sega titles are hitting the Nintendo 3DS eShop this November and December, the company announced today in a post on the Sega blog.

These arcade classics will be available for download beginning the last week in November, with two new games launching each week:

• Nov. 28: 3D Space Harrier, 3D Super Hang-On
• Dec. 5: 3D Sonic The Hedgehog, 3D Altered Beast
• Dec. 12: 3D Ecco the Dolphin, 3D Galaxy Force 2
• Dec. 19: 3D Shinobi 3, 3D Streets of Rage

Each game will cost $5.99 (or €4.99, £4.49).

"These games were completely re-built to offer a robust 3D experience that offers more modern gameplay while still keeping true to the original," Sega of America president and COO John Cheng said.

Sega writes that the company will share more details on these upgraded classics, including interviews with the developers, as we get closer to the release dates.
