Genesis of an idea.

Surprising no one, Sega will bring its Mega Drive Classics compilation to Nintendo Switch later this year.
Already available for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, this medley of Mega Drive games features more than 50 titles.
The Nintendo Switch version adds local co-op via split-screen - a nice feature - alongside the online multiplayer, achievements, mirror modes, rewind and save states available in other versions.
