Feast your eyes on two minutes and 42 seconds of Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives 2 footage

Two posts in a row devoted to the second Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives title that's being prepped for the Japanese 3DS?

What can I say, I'm jazzed about this classics-laden compilation that'll hit store shelves in that region right around Christmas.

I'm even more jazzed about it now that I've watched the following trailer, which was added to Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives 2's official website yesterday.



Power Drift and the Master System version of Fantasy Zone II have me feeling especially excited about this collection, although I'm also oddly intrigued by Puyo Puyo 2.

After all, I can't quite picture how the latter game is going to make use of the 3DS' 3D capabilities. My guess is that it'll place the puyo blobs on a plane that appears closer to the player's eyes while the backdrops will recede into the distance.

How about you? Are you itching to play any of the three-dimensional updates that are set to be featured Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives 2?

Raise your hand if you, too, are stoked that Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives 2 is being prepped for 3DS

If you heard something that sounded like a squeal of delight yesterday, it probably came from me.

Even if it what you heard wasn't me, I can guarantee you I made a whole slew of "happy noises" upon hearing that a second Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives is in the works (and will hit Japanese store shelves on Dec. 23).

Granted, I've yet to even stick my copy of the first Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives compilation, which was released in the Land of the Rising Sun late last year, into my import 3DS LL system, but that doesn't mean I can't be stoked about its sequel.

Actually, I'd be frothing-at-the-mouth excited about Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives 2 even if I didn't own the original Fukkoku Archives thanks to its meaty lineup of games: Altered BeastFantasy Zone II DX, Galaxy Force II, Power Drift, Puyo Puyo 2, Sonic the Hedgehog and Thunder Blade.



As of now, the "3D Classics" versions of Power Drift and Puyo Puyo 2 included here will be exclusive to this offering--although I have to imagine they'll receive a broader eShop release at some point down the road.

Also exclusive to Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives 2: three-dimensional updates of two old Master System (or Sega Mark III, if that's how you roll) titles, Fantasy Zone II and Maze Walker.

Initially I was a bit disappointed to learn that this second collection won't include the just-out 3D Gunstar Heroes, but then it hit me that its MIA status probably means a Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives 3 is more likely than not.

If you'd like to check out a few screenshots of the Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives 2 versions of Power Drift and Puyo Puyo 2, by the way, head on over to japanese3ds.com.

Update: amiami is now taking pre-orders for Sega 3D Fukkoku Archives 2. The price is 4,220 yen, which equals about $35. (Oh, and in case you're wondering, yes, I've already put myself down for a copy.)
