The most recent iOS/Android release has Hidden Palace in it.
I'm totally in.~
These releases are some of the most complete versions of the games released and are only 5 dollars. 3D Fantasy Zone II comes with its own extra 'game mode' called Land Link Loop that imo is funnier than the actual based game and if it came out in the 80's would have been its own arcade game.
I take offense that people think its just a 'rom dump with screen filters' when M2 has been going out of the way adding extras and charging less than a coffee.
fruitsofherwomb,
I suspect that alot of people are not aware of the amount of effort M2 puts into these 3D releases. As you've pointed out, in some cases they include extras into the game. Just a few days ago, I re-read an interview that was conducted with M2's Naoki Horii and Yousuke Okunari in which they discussed how they managed to remake Shinobi III to 3D. The lengthy article gives you an insight into some of the hurdles they faced converting the game using the Gigadrive (2.0 engine):

I'm really glad I took the time to re-read the article since it's really an insightful piece.
Are these any good?
Depends on the game, M2 got better as it went along. I suggest all the Wave 2 especially 3D Fantasy Zone 2 and 3D Outrun.
To be honest, I had no clue about the extra work / including extras in these games until it started to be discussed here. This makes me wonder even more about that Thunderblade release, in particular. Does anyone know if it's more along the lines of the original arcade version, or is it more similar to the genesis port?
