Might be my very first e-shop buy.

[RedSwirl]

This is never leaving my system. Also, they better do Afterburner 3D!

Now that? Holy shit.

[Oersted]

My face will melt, but damn I need this.

[Randomizer]

Aww man I love Space Harrier. I probably spent as much time playing it in the Shenmue arcade as I did Shenmue itself lol. Outrun and Afterburner next please.

[Tain]

holy shit I am so conflicted

[Karak]

3Dized arcade version of Space Harrier that will be available on the eShop. Will be in widescreen. Sega also has additional plans for 3D compliant classics on 3DS. No release date as of yet. http://www.gamer.ne.jp/news/201211210023/

Honestly best news in years. Seriously. Favorite game of all time.
OF ALL TIME.

Now Sega needs to make Zillion.

[Busaiku]

Your move, Nintendo/Treasure.

[Gameboy415]

NICE!

I'm still hoping to track down the SMS 3D cart (I have the glasses and a few other games already and the 3D is surprisingly excellent!) but I'll definitely grab this as well. :)

[andymcc]

life is beautiful.

my favorite arcade game ever.

[MigueelDnd]

Never played any of the Sega Master System games. I guess this is pretty good?
I want to give it a go; hope it comes out here across the pond.

the master system version of this game pales greatly in comparison to the arcade original

[Arya Stark]

Nice to see Sega treating the eShop better than Nintendo

[Yes Boss!]

Yeah, great. Bonafide. But this is neither the master system nor the genesis port (both of those are rather poor) but instead the arcade port.

[Seven Force]

Holy shit, I was just playing the original on Wii VC earlier today.

Afterburner II better be next.

[Oni Link 666]

Fucking sweet.

[GDGF]

Honestly best news in years. Seriously. Favorite game of all time. OF ALL TIME. Now Sega needs to make Zillion.

I would cry manly tears of joy if they did.

[Father_Brain]

This is a pretty awesome idea. Hope they follow up with AfterBurner, OutRun, and Galaxy Force II.

[Dwayne]

Sold!

[AgentOtaku]

fuck

first post nails it

SO MUCH HYPE (^___^)

[jett]

This is pretty neat.

Sega's classic arcade games are best arcade games. *hums Space Harrier theme*

[thiscoldblack]

Oh yes! This will definitely look good in 3D. I'm really liking Sega bringing back all these classics.

[RurouniZel]

Oooh, think of the possibilities! Phantasy Star, now with 3D dungeons!

Would buy in a heart beat.

[krae_man]

I own a couple of 3D Master system games but I don't have the glasses. Very curious to play these.

[MrCunningham]

Worth it if I recently bought a Genesis copy for $3?

It is if this is a port of the original arcade game and not the Genesis version.

[Hex]

This is one of the coolest things that I have heard of.

[Karak]

I would cry manly tears of joy if they did.

So would I. One of the best games I have ever played. I still remember many of the rooms and for sure the "shtt shtt shtt" sound of you running in the game. God Zillion was incredible.

[Lamiafusion]

Shit...This just sold me on a 3DS XL

[wondermega]

Was waiting for this, since launch. Thought it would just be the 3D SMS game though.

hot damn, hot damn, hot damn. Night made.

for the record, SMS 8-bit 3-D SegaScope Space Harrier was also very well-done (even if it's an obvious graphical downgrade from the arcade version). I had it; would not only appreciate to see that on the eShop, but I'd say I'd even prefer it to be honest (welll... maybe) The point is it was a blast to play, all the SegaScope games were.

Cheers to Sega for stepping up, like many others I'll now rattle off a list of games I'd love to see them port to the 3DS and thus further justify my continued reasons to own and enjoy the handheld!

OutRun
After Burner
As many of the other SegaScope games as possible
Super Monaco GP
Zaxxon (original Isometric early 80s game, this would rock like a mofo)
Galaxy Force
Zaxxon Motherbase (32X polygon game)
Star Wars arcade 32X (why not!)
Virtua Racing
Thunder Blade in any of it's various forms
Fantasy Zone

any other major Super Scaler games that I missed?

[GDGF]

Hang-On!

[wondermega]

Hang-On!

*slaps forehead*

EDIT: also Power Drift!!!

[Lamiafusion]

For nostalgia reasons, I went to look at some game footage and realized that the only version of this game that I have played was the one for Game Gear (I used to play it as a kid.) What have I been missing?!

[RetroGreg]

WHAAAAAAT! This is gonna be so great. Can't wait!

[Teknoman]

Megaton in Fantasy Zone.

[Bending_Unit_22]

I'm ok with this.

[ThatsMytrunks]

I don't understand why companies haven't released MORE 3D remasters of 2D games. It's fairly simple.

I've made a ton of mockups, just point your 3DS browser here to see them in 3D.

Especially platformers, there's nothing to it. Just toss the parallax backgrounds as a depth layer and go for it. Cave Story 3D (the eShop version) and Kirby 3D were both great.

[Neuromancer]

Thank you Sega

[djSyndrome]

Still own my Japanese Saturn copies of Outrun, Space Harrier and Afterburner II out of pure love for that holy trilogy. Hope they all make it to 3DS.

[Dambrosi]

Oh God. Oh...Oh God. GODDDDDDD. Oh. OooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH*SPUUURRRRRTTTTTTTT*

...sorry, had a funny turn there. Either way, my 3DS purchase is now DEFINITE.

It's not nearly as simple to do as you're making out, and it's really easy to do badly.

[Enk]

Holy shit! Perfect choice to start this with Sega!

[Gospel]

Hey, these are pretty awesome!

[Monado Blade]

HOLY SHIT YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

I echo this sentiment.

[Yes Boss!]

Yep, no brainer. They don't have to completely redo them like the Arika ports...just offer VC-like ports with option for 3D.

I thinking these things don't really sell that well. I mean, Nintendo has not even released the few Virtual Boy games yet. Sega will probably push these with a heavy branding so hopefully they will sell better. Approaching 25 million units so the userbase has got to be there by now.

[IrishNinja]

i need this

Sega 3D Classics? I can go for that.

yeah i hope they do more with the line than nintendo has recently too

TIME PARADOX

man i only had Zaxxon and Missile Defense and it was still so awesome

[Boney]

wonder what's gonna be sega's urban champion 3d

[jgkspsx]

Isn't the SMS version uglier than the arcade by some measure, though?

Still, not complaining.

[RyougaSaotome]

This.

I like this.

[Jazzem]

YESSSSS :D Such a tremendous gem of a classic, and one that goes hand in hand with a 3D treatment.

Sega are doing so good with these ports lately.

[Eric C]

Isn't the SMS version uglier than the arcade by some measure, though? Still, not complaining.

That's what we're getting though, the arcade game remade into widescreen with 3D. NOT the SMS 3D version of the game.

[nextgeneration]

I don't do portable gaming, but this may convince me to get a 3ds. Space Harrier is one of the greatest games ever made!
