SEGA of America Inc. and SEGA Europe, Ltd. today announce a second batch of 3D remasterings exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS hand-held system, spotlighting SEGA?s arcade history. Beginning with the release of 3D After Burner II in early 2015, the second batch of titles will be released monthly and include 3D Fantasy Zone, 3D OutRun, 3D Fantasy Zone II, and 3D Thunder Blade. Not only does each title deliver a full-fledged vintage arcade experience, recreating the environment down to the mechanical sounds of the arcade machines themselves, but it also adds to the original experience with new modes, options, and original musical tracks.

?These games were completely re-built to offer a robust 3D experience that offers more modern gameplay while still keeping true to the original,? commented John Cheng, President and COO, SEGA of America. ?These are the best versions of some of our most unforgettable games and playing them is just like sitting in an arcade machine?.

All games will be priced at MSRP $5.99/?4.99/?4.49 and will be available for download in the Nintendo eShop on Nintendo 3DS. Please see SEGA?s official blog at http://blogs.sega.com/ for further information and updates, including release date announcements.
