Holy shit there are so many games that would work wonders with a 3D treatment.

Space Harrier, After Burner, Outrun, Super Hang-on, Super Thunderblade, etc.

Hype.

Aru · Nov 21, 2012

Landstalker 3D next would be awesome.

plagiarize · Nov 21, 2012

Super Hang-On is fantastic in 3D on PS3, so I hope they bring over all their titles that use similar graphics. I will definitely be picking up Space Harrier.

GAMERG0D · Nov 21, 2012

Never had a SEGA console, looks good.

jufonuk · Nov 21, 2012

yesssssssssssss yessssssssssss syessssssssssssssssssssssssssss woooo, geady ready!! (might be confusing that with after burner, but wth wooo yeah)

Barkley's Justice · Nov 21, 2012

woah.

checkeredknight · Nov 21, 2012

Wow, I can't believe this many people are excited for Space Harrier! Sometimes I've felt like I'm the only one (other than S0L of Sumo Digital fame) that loves it. Played the Master System one to death growing up. If I still had my 3DS I'd be all over this!

I wouldn't even wait THAT long if they announced a 3D-classics Phantasy Star.

I wonder what would exactly look great in 3D in Phantasy Star...

Not necessarily. They could always use a generic car like they did with the Outrun port in Shenmue.

Awesome. Hope Afterburner gets the same treatment.

I've been saying this ever since the 3DS came out. Isometric action games pretty much suck when played in 2D since you can never be sure where things are in relation to each other, but in 3D the game might not be so frustratingly annoying. Unortunately, I'm pretty sure Climax Entertainment owns the rights to the property, and I don't think they've actually done anything in years (how the hell are they still in business?)

GDGF · Nov 21, 2012

Not super scaler or anything, but I would love to see a 3D remake of Bonanza Bros.

Had so much fun with this in the arcade.

PixyJunket · Nov 21, 2012

This is such a genius move on Sega and I can't even tell why that is above other 3D Classics stuff, it just FEELS right.

Indeed.

Frogacuda · Nov 21, 2012

This would be awesome if it was on a system capable of displaying more than an inch and a half of depth.

As it stands, the 3DS can go fuck itself for anything with a horizon-line view.

Frogacuda · Nov 21, 2012

Also, I think the bigger story here is Sega bringing the Sega Ages series to the PS3. Some of the later releases were awesome.

If they do Fantasy Zone Complete Collection, I'm going to have to double dip. It is, without a doubt, the best retro compilation disk ever, thanks in no small part to the utterly brilliant alternat-reality 1986 remake of Fantasy Zone II that is maybe the best thing in the series.

Metallix87 · Nov 21, 2012

Frogacuda, your bias is showing.

dankir · Nov 21, 2012

Was Planet Harriers ever released on Dreamcast? I remember getting super hyped for it and then never found it out they ever ported it from Arcades.

GDGF · Nov 21, 2012

No hate allowed!

gryz · Nov 21, 2012

they need to add the Bayonetta remix of the space harrier theme

I had the SEGA 3D glasses. This and Zaxxon are the only games I remember for it. Oh and the painful headaches.

Cdammen · Nov 21, 2012

Cool, then they should do Planet Harrier. Never got to play that

This isn't news, Sega Ages PS2 Classics started during the summer. Space Harrier Complete Collection is actually the 5th one, being preceeded by (in order) Dragon Force, Dynamite Dekka, Gunstar Heroes Treasure Box and Sega Memorial Collection.

Shadow Hog · Nov 21, 2012

Clearly they should do Last Survivor. Am I right?

What? Nobody?

I'd buy a 3DS for this lol.

They should revive that PSP remake they were working on.

yankee666 · Nov 21, 2012

Great News!!!! i Love this game.

Now th egreatest news is that SEGA is going to release more 3D classics, now i can dream of some games to get this treatment like:

STREETS OF RAGE (trilogy)
OUT RUN
AFTERBURNER
SUPER HANG ON
GOLDEN AXE
just to name a few

K.Jack · Nov 21, 2012

I still have my SMS and the 3-D carts of Space Harrier, Zaxxon, Missile Defense, and Maze Hunter. My glasses broke though.

Maze Hunter in particular would be a great game to re-release on the 3DS.

GDGF · Nov 22, 2012

Might as well give us Buck Rogers while they're at it!

Just reposting my last post just showing screens of other potential candidates, the shots were from hg101, and didn't show when I| was on another computer, leading me to believe they don't allow hotlinking.

Here are some other classic arcade Sega goodies:

All the arcade originals, only Outrun of these had a 3D SMS version. Didn't see one for Afterburner.

And here's the original ARC Space Harrier to compare:

Even more unfortunately, you can't 3d convert an isometric perspective in the first place. No vanishing points means 3D just wouldn't work right.

I've always wondered if it's just coincidence, or if Space Harrier is intended to have some link to Fantasy Zone that's never actually been explored.

Afterburner and Outrun next, please.

This is the 3DS killer app as far as I'm concerned. Need a release date!

Wow, awesome news, talk about a perfect fit. Can't wait to see it.

IrishNinja · Nov 22, 2012

wait, isn't the Sega Ages PS2 shit on the JPN store, or did it make it over here?

It's been a while - a long while - but isn't the two-headed dragon from Space Harrier *II*?

He's the boss of stage three in the first one. Can't remember if he's in the second or not.

Tizoc · Nov 27, 2012

The PS2 Space Harrier game is on JPN PSN.

Hobby · Dec 19, 2012

Release date set for 12/26, 600 yen.

Harrier movement range has 3 stages to it that can be adjusted. B button set to rapid fire shot. Input 3 credits for consecutive play. Can select stages after playing them once. Includes a time trial mode where lives don't decrease for 60 seconds after starting. Supports savestates. Can save 1 replay, as well.

More screens at the link, including some screens of the settings menu:

OmegaZero · Dec 19, 2012

That "moving cabinet" mode looks pretty distracting considering the 3DS' res.

EDIT: On second thought - 3D. This could be interesting.

BassForever · Dec 19, 2012

How did I miss this thread the first time around?

Directly into my 3DS Sega

PixyJunket · Dec 19, 2012

Nice. They've done some incredibly cool work on what's basically an arcade port.

@MUWANdo · Dec 19, 2012

For anyone wondering about the different aspect ratios, there are four options:

Original aspect ratio, 4:3 aspect ratio, full-screen, and cabinet mode with realistic tilting.
