Release Date: 2013
"3D Streets of Rage" brings the classic beat 'em up experience to the Nintendo 3DS, enveloping players in a nostalgic yet refreshed version of the beloved Sega Genesis title. This revival, part of the "3D Classics" series by SEGA, not only preserves the grit and allure of the original "Streets of Rage" but revitalizes it with enhanced 3D graphics and improved gameplay features, tailored to modern expectations while retaining its classic essence. Players traverse through a crime-ridden urban landscape, taking control of one of three ex-police officers—Axel, Blaze, or Adam—as they combat the syndicate leader Mr. X and his minions in an effort to restore peace to the city. With the ability to play solo or join forces with a friend in local multiplayer, the game offers a robust fighting system that includes punches, kicks, and throws combined with special attacks to take down waves of enemies.
Developed originally by SEGA in the early 90s, "Streets of Rage" was synonymous with captivating combat and was a formidable contender in the genre dominated by titles like "Final Fight" and "Double Dragon." With "3D Streets of Rage" for the Nintendo 3DS, significant enhancements like stereoscopic 3D visuals and a two-player mode using the Nintendo 3DS's local wireless connectivity bring a fresh dimension to the gameplay. Moreover, this version incorporates a virtual "save anywhere" feature, allowing players a more fluid gaming experience, removing the original game's restriction of limited continues and forcing to start over. This reimagined classic benefits not just from technical improvements but also offers a historical lens on the evolution of beat 'em up games, making it a valuable piece for both new players and nostalgic gamers alike.
