I never knew there was a 3DS version. I need to research this further.

Yeah, Altered Beast was never good. Haha, things moving along at a snail's pace is definitely true. I seem to recall one of the more irritating issues with the Master System version being that if you got hit, you had like, ZERO invincibility window, and you'd be juggled to death in short order. Does that exist in this version? I don't remember.

I dunno about being juggled in the Genesis version. That's the sad part: the game is so slow, boring, and mostly easy, that I wasn't able to see if something like that could happen. Though, I think the zombie punchers might be able to juggle if you're in an unfortunate recovery spot. And yeah, the Genesis game has 2-player support.

Okay, to elaborate somewhat: Altered Beast is one of those games that plays better in concept than execution, precisely by design. It was an arcade port that had no consideration given to the expectations of home console players - but then little understanding was had in those days. "Iron Man Mode" games were more the norm than they are now, to be sure.
