Originally, 3D Classics was going to include a wider variety of games. However, translating 2D games into 3D was more difficult than originally anticipated. For example, the development time for Xevious was almost 20 times longer than anticipated. Thus, Nintendo has instead focused on releasing new games for the eShop proper and retro games on the [[3DS Virtual Console]] int their original form.
