3D Out Run drifting onto the 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Patrick(@Patricklous) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, News, Platforms, Rumors | 0 comments
Grab your Ferrari (or just a 3DS), because it looks like M2’s next 3D re-imagining of a retro Sega title is the 1986 classic, Out Run. The game’s logo popped up on the Japanese website for their range of 3DS ports, so it looks like more news on the game should be imminent.
We’re still waiting to see if Sega will localise this second wave of 3D classics, but fingers crossed that we’ll get to play these new versions of Fantasy Zone, After Burner II and, of course, Out Run some time in the near future. But until then I’ll be working on my Galaxy Force II high score.
