SEGA Genesis Classics Coming To Nintendo Switch This Winter
Over 50 SEGA Genesis titles are on the way, including Sonic 1, Sonic 2, Mean Bean Machine, Sonic Spinball and Sonic 3D Blast.
Only Sonic 3 & Knuckles (as well as their non-locked on versions) are missing.

I hope this doesn’t mean that the Sega Ages ports by M2 won’t be releasing outside of Japan. I was really looking forward to playing some of those enhanced games (Sonic 1 with the Drop Dash, etc).
Honestly, I could care less about the M2 ports; they were better off just adding in the Drop Dash to the Tax and Stealth remasters and FINALLY giving them a console release instead of being stuck in mobile land forever, unless you have an Apple TV or Amazon Fire.
I definitely agree that it would be very nice if they had just released the Sonic Mobile Remakes on consoles but besides that, Sega Ages also covers other Sega consoles like the Master System. Additionally Sega has said that they could potentially add titles from the Dreamcast and Saturn if the initial lineup sells well enough. The Genesis collection are just emulations of the games while the Ages versions are ports developed by M2 which means that aside from new features, they could improve game performance and remove bugs. That said, emulators do open up some opportunities to improve games (for example, the Switch version of the Mega Man Legacy Collection has a “Turbo CPU” option which eliminates slowdown).
How come S3&K are absent again?
