Sega has a long history in gaming that has led to a pool of many classic games that could potentially be made into Sega 3D Classics on the Nintendo 3DS. Eight were taken and made into 3D Classics, each of which are in the process of being released over the next few weeks. Now, it appears that we are getting a second batch in the future for Japan, with a US release dependent on how the first sells.
Talk of the second batch arose through the Twitter of James Booth, an assistant producer at Sega’s Hardlight Studio, and Yosuke Okunari, a Sega CS3 producer. Booth utilized Twitter to tell Okunari “Thanks Okunari-san for yours and M2’s hard work on these 3D classics! Really hope you are working on more, including Outrun 3D!!” Okunari then responded by saying “Thank you. We develop the 2nd series for Japan. If this overseas release succeeds, it may release these in the world.”
We have already seen the release of 3D Space Harrier and 3D Super Hang-On this past Thursday, with 3D Sonic the Hedgehog, 3D Altered Beast, 3D Ecco the Dolphin, 3D Galaxy Force II, 3D Shinobi III, and 3D Streets of Rage all coming within the next three weeks. Make sure to download some of these games if you hope to see more Sega 3D Classics in the US!
