Nice to see Nintendo keeping the retro train rolling with these Sega classics—Streets of Rage alone makes the Expansion Pack worth it for beat 'em up fans. Though, I can't help but wonder when we'll finally get some Dreamcast love in the mix

Streets of Rage is an absolute banger, but I’m low-key hoping for more deep-cut Sega gems to join the lineup soon. Also, Wind Waker on Switch 2 My inner child is already screaming with joy.
