Or Golden Axe

How would Golden Axe work in 3D? It's all 2D.

 

[IrishNinja]

How would Golden Axe work in 3D? It's all 2D.

for some reason, im having weird flashbacks of that sega ages thing, it's not a good feeling

 

[Xbudz]

3D Virtua Fighter 1?
3D Daytona USA?
3D Panzer Dragoon?

Sega needs to 1up Nintendo here in the land of 3D Classics.

 

[Yagharek]

How would Golden Axe work in 3D? It's all 2D.

So is Outrun, Super Hang On, Afterburner and Space Harrier.

There is movement into and out of the planes though. It's not a single 2d plane.

 

[mclem]

If we're going through their 3D (in the sense of heavy use of sprite scaling) games from that era, I'd say Out Run *has* to be one of the remaining two. Not sure what else, though; Afterburner? Thunder Blade? G-Loc?

 

[mclem]

Both games so far have been available in 3D before so I guess the other two will be from this list:

Line of Fire
Maze Hunter 3-D
Missile Defense 3-D
OutRun 3-D
Poseidon Wars 3-D
Zaxxon 3-D

If I was a betting man I'd say OutRun and Zaxxon.

Those are all Master System versions (and Zaxxon 3D is quite significantly different from Zaxxon); Space Harrier at least is a 3D version of the *arcade* game.

 

[345triangle]

they're not actually under the 3D Classics banner, just 3D ______

it says "sega 3D resurrection project", so i'm guessing the next entry won't be sonic 4 episode 3.

 

[jacob armitage]

oh exellent, this'll be perfect for the retro 3d.

 

[ascii42]

Those are all Master System versions (and Zaxxon 3D is quite significantly different from Zaxxon); Space Harrier at least is a 3D version of the *arcade* game.

A 3D Classics version of the original Zaxxon would be sweet.

 

[Metallix87]

I'm guessing OutRun and Afterburner are next, though I'd appreciate Panzer Dragoon over the latter.

 

[Snowden's Secret]

I know it's not going to happen, but if Sega's doing some 3D Classics, I'd like Sonic and Ristar, please.

OH JESUS I'D NEVER THOUGHT OF THIS

Ristar in 3D and on the slidepad would be amazing

We'll never see it though.

 

[mclem]

A 3D Classics version of the original Zaxxon would be sweet.

True. but a little tricky to make look good with the camera angle as it stands. I suspect, though, Sega's focus here are on the series of arcade games that did '3D' by having powerful sprite scaling hardware; that's the two we've got already and there's quite a few more games that worked the same way.

 

[peanutbutterlatte]

I was about to berate Nintendo for making another Urban Champion tier 3D Classic nobody asked for, but this is pretty cool.

 

[Javier]

Hope we get this in America soon.

And please one of the games be Outrun.

Yeah, true. Of the sprite scaling games, Outrun would be my first choice. I have the arcade machine, but it isn't exactly portable.

 

[Shion]

Super Hang On was my favorite racing game as a kid.

This is probably going to be the arcade version so...dat smooth scrolling and 60fps in 3D!

Also, the arcade OST is epic:

THE MEMORIES <3

I want this even more now.

 

[gunstarhero]

I love me some Outrun and Afterburner, but we got excellent reboots already.

Thunderblade and PowerDrift is what we need people!

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

I think these are the most obvious ones. 3D versions of Power Drift and Galaxy Force II would be nice also.

Agreed! GF2 is especailly a favorite.

I woukdn't mind them moving into Model 1 once the Super Scaler stuff is done either. VF1 and Virtua Racing don't get enough love.

Never been big on the first Virtua Fighter, but I still play the 32x version of Virtua Racing from time to time. I'd love to see an arcade perfect port, but with the 32x/Saturn cars and tracks.

Memories of me playing my new MegaDrive with the game are flowing in my mind.

 

[richiek]

Shinobi, please.

 

[MaverickHunterX]

Super Hang-On followed by Outrun. Make it so!

This, please , SEGA!

If I had to guess, last one would be Super Thunderblade

 

[Lambtron]

One of those slots better be for Cosmic Smash.

 

[wondermega]

I feel it's a bad sign that space harrier has been out for so long and still no word on NA release; what's the precedent here?

Very enthused about these classic Sega games getting the full treatment and I'll absolutely buy them the second they are available in this market, but I am not gonna hold my breath

Man, Sega really did own the arcade back in the day..

 

[Coconut]

So are they moving up chronologically with these games or are they from the same arcade hardware generation?

 

[Beer Monkey]

So far all Sega Super Scaler games and all designed by Yu Suzuki.

The thing I found mind-blowing about Power Drift back in the day is that the TRACK ITSELF is made of scaled sprites.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eisCeK0HX8A

I had the PC ENGINE version and used to play it on my handheld Turbo Express. The scaled-sprite-track effect was not as effective as in the arcade version but still impressive for the time.

[Hero of Legend]

I'd kill for the more 3D stuff like Virtua Fighter and Virtua Racing, if they ever move on to Saturn stuff OOOOOH BOOOOIIII!!!

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Amazing news. Space Harrier was fantastic, so expecting more of the same, especially since I like Super Hang On more. Add me to the "Outrun next" crowd too.

 

[JustAnotherOtaku]

Virtua Racing would be a dream come true.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Virtua Racing would be a dream come true.

Add Wing War as well, looks SICK!

Oozing classic Sega arcade goodness!

Just one hitch; the resolution is above the 3DS's, at 496 x 384:

Sega might be able to readjust?

 

[stuminus3]

I would love to see Power Drift as part of this series, since that game has had very little presence in Sega's library since it was released but it had the most incredible scaling sprites, it made Super Hang-On look so plain and boring.

Super Hang-On is the better game, though .

Also Galaxy Force, which also featured the tilted scaled sprites like Power Drift.

EDIT: Awesome Galaxy Force II video:

[Billy Lee]

So is Outrun, Super Hang On, Afterburner and Space Harrier.

There is movement into and out of the planes though. It's not a single 2d plane.

There is no perspective though. It's more like isometric which doesn't translate well to 3D. Moving into and out of the planes doesn't move you closer or further away from the camera. Outrun etc would work well in 3D because the sprites are represented in perspective so they start far away from the camera then get closer.

 

[jufonuk]

I just want to know when Space Harrier and this is coming to Europe, I will purchase all of these, also make outrun and after burner and consider +4 sales from me

 

[stuminus3]

Super Hang-On is the better game, though .

But graphics!

Also Galaxy Force, which also featured the tilted scaled sprites like Power Drift.

Yeah, I always wondered why Afterburner was the more popular game when Galaxy Force was so impressive and way more fun. I'd actually love to see this one get the "Climax" treatment that Afterburner did.

 

[Danny Dudekisser]

Fuckin'... who even cares what's next?

SUPER FUCKING HANG ON.

This game is awesome. Though I'd rather just play it on the 360 or PS3...

 

[Marche90]

We need these games outside Japan, SEGA...

...Although I have never played them. They still look cool

 

[evilromero]

NiGHTS 3D Classic? Please? Pretty please?

I would definitely buy this. Also, Burning Rangers 3D.

 

[Coconut]

I'd like to see virtual on but with out a second circle pad I'm sure it wouldn't be the most fun game to play.

 

[Shadow Hog]

I would definitely buy this. Also, Burning Rangers 3D.

If they fixed up some of the jankiness of the Saturn original (I so often feel like I'm flying around out of control :I), I could see that being pretty good.

 

[jufonuk]

I would definitely buy this. Also, Burning Rangers 3D.

ohh just do an OoT with this game update it to keep it retro but a good looking retro

 

[ascii42]

Well...there's always this thing...

 

[Shion]

This needs to happen, but it won't

 

[Coconut]

Well...there's always this thing...

I refuse to indulge in such atrocities.

 

[Odrion]

it's obviously shenmue 1 and 2 3d to prep us all for shenmue 3

Wait, wasn't Space Harrier and Super Hang On the two arcade games you could play in Shenmue?

:O

:O

:O

 

[sixteen-bit]

Outrun next pls.
