SEGA has announced that it will be delisting its Mega Drive Classics collection from the Nintendo Switch eShop on December 6, 2024. This move is part of a broader effort by SEGA to remove multiple retro titles across various platforms, including Xbox, PlayStation, and Steam. After this date, the collection will no longer be available for new purchases on these digital storefronts. However, players who have already purchased the games will still be able to download and play them from their libraries even after the delisting.

The Mega Drive Classics collection, originally released in 2018, includes a wide range of beloved SEGA titles such as Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, Phantasy Star II, and more. SEGA has not provided a clear reason for the delisting, though it may be related to licensing issues or a potential future re-release or bundle.
For Nintendo Switch users, some of these classic games will remain accessible through the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service, ensuring that subscribers can continue to enjoy select titles.
