Segahas confirmed thatSega Ages, its series of ports and remasters of classicSega Genesisand arcade titles on Nintendo Switch, has come to an end. This announcement comes as a surprise to fans who were expecting Sega Saturn and Dreamcast games to join the series in the near future, as Sega had previously confirmed its intent to include them with brand new ports from M2, the studio behind theSega Genesis Miniand Konami’sCastlevania Anniversary Collection. Thankfully, in a recent interview, Sega’s Yosuke Okunari confirmed that the company still plans on bringing classic titles to Nintendo Switch in the future.
Speaking to Japanese website Game Watch, Okunari confirmed that Herzog Zwei would be the final title intheSega Agesseries. While he did confirm that Sega is working on some sort of follow-up to the series of remasters and ports, he could not confirm whether M2 would be involved yet. Speaking about their plans to follow upSega Ages, Okunari stated “ConsideringSega Ageshas ended, some may be wondering if we have plans to continue re-releasing past titles on Nintendo Switch – I want that to happen. I hope to bring something over that will really satisfy Switch players. So until then, we hope you’ll look forward to it.”

M2’s Tsuyoshi Matsuoka commented on ending theSega Agesseries, “For us at M2, there are still a lot of other titles we want to port over as well. Personally speaking, I want to re-release Sega’s entire history of interactive games!” While this doesn’t confirm anything, this does hopefully imply that M2 is not finished bringing its expertise tore-releasing Sega’s history. While nothing has been confirmed yet, Sega claimed numerous times that it had planned to bringSaturn and Dreamcast titles toSega Ages, so hopefully whatever the company is working on next involves titles from those platforms.
