Some of the Sega 3D Classics provide options that try to emulate the arcade experience, such as option to enable motion controls or show the screen tilt in games like After Burner II and Super Hang-On. Many of the Sega 3D Classics are remakes of games that originally used Sega's " Super Scaler" technology, which created a pseudo-3D effect by rapidly rotating and scaling large numbers of sprites. Games in the series published by Sega are branded as "Sega 3D Classics" and are developed by M2. Arika attempted a 3D Classics version of the NES/Famicom game Tennis because the background had perspective, but found it looked unimpressive in 3D while requiring re-coding collision detection almost from scratch. They underestimated the amount of work required to add stereoscopic 3D to a 2D game, requiring much more work than a simple port. Development on this set of games began in 2009, starting with Namco Bandai Games' Xevious. These releases were directed by Takao Nakano from the Special-Planning & Development Department of Nintendo. The first set of games in the series was developed by Arika and published by Nintendo. There are two unrelated series of releases under the 3D Classics title: a first-party series of NES/ Famicom and arcade games, and a Sega-published, M2-developed set of classic Sega games, mostly from Sega Mega Drive/ Genesis and Sega arcade hardware.
