While Sega had us distracted with the excellent 3D Fantasy Zone: Opa-Opa Brothers, it's gone and announced another classic that Sega fans have all been patiently waiting for — Outrun. This information is so minty-fresh that nothing else is currently known — not even an estimated release date — but we can at least play our current 3D Classics library safe in the knowledge that they're going to be joined — in Japan, at least — by one of arcade's true classics in the near future.
Of course, we're still awaiting news of when the current batch of 3D Classics arriving in Japan will make it West. The initial run certainly created a buzz among keen 3DS download fans, so we can only hope that sales were sufficient to ensure continued localisation of these titles.
For now all we can do is show you the Outrun logo and ask you to let us know how excited you are to hear Magical Sound Shower coming out of your 3DS in the future.

love this game.
Tried the arcade version once, hell of a rumble when you crashed
I already hear the music in my ears... Please SEGA make this gaijin happy and send this and Afterburner westward ASAP!
Shame it's going to take so long to get to the west, but will definitely get this when it does arrive.
Sega really is doing the eShop proud with all these 3D Classics titles.
Racing has always been one of my favourite genres, so I'm excited about this!
Please and thank you!
And then send it across the ocean ASAP.
Outrun 2 sp for 3ds or even wiiu please sega. That is all
@Frapp Couldn't have put it better myself!
Never played the original, so unsure if it's my thing. Loved 3D Streets of Rage, was it made easier for the 3DS? Because I died a lot and just seemed to keep respawning at the same point until I finished the game (even on hardest)?!
This is the 3D version of the arcade Outrun right? Ahh so awesome with M2's development for sure.
Friend of mine got the original "stand up" arcade game. Really awesome game to play, even after all those years
I'm really behind on buying these, I need to catch up
This will be the icing on the cake. Well done Sega
Now give me some form of HD remake in Wii U E Shop and I'll be we'll happy
@SanderEvers Lol I just have to, you saying "Europe, pretty please" while the thought of they would have go through all the costly ratings to release in Europe. XD
M2 are friends to mankind
M2 VC support is the only reason I'm hanging onto my 3DS... Everything after RE Revelations has been either mediocre or way too casual friendly to even consider handing over cash for
We still haven't got Afterburner in the US. I'm wanting it and now Outrun. With the few that are available, I've been more impressed with Segas VC games than what Nintendo puts out.
That's wonderful, but since the west is STILL waiting on After Burner 2, I know it's gonna be awhile.
Such a great game. Am I correct in thinking this is "only" the second 3D remake, the first being the 3D glasses version on the Master System?
OutRun! <3
This should have been one of the first games released in this collection. Oh well better late than never. Hoping for localization.
I want it in NA naaaaaoooooooowwwwwwww...
Wah...
Finally! This would be a day one download for me
Outrun 2 is one of my favourite games ever.
Next title in the series: POWERDRIFT 3D... Pretty pleaaaaaaaase!!! ^_______^
Day one for me baby! Woo!
I want this game released outside of Japan so I can download it. SAAAYGUUUH!!!
YES!!! THANK YOU M2!! I've been wanting to play this game for a VERY long time.
This was at the top of my list for more Sega 3D classics. I loved Super Hang On, so I know I will love this too.
Well, this is only my favourite ever videogame.
The Japanese Saturn stand alone release is the best version as of now.
The SEGA AGES US and PAL Saturn versions have a bug with the car becoming stuck in an uphill animation if you take the left route from the first stage.
I'm sure M2 will add overseas and Japan track versions.
My question is, will we have the correct car sprite, the Ferrari has not been seen since the version unlocakable in the Xbox release of OutRun 2, a game which had an offical liscence. Dreamcast versions have the stand in car...
YESSSSS!!!! YES!!!! YES!!! YESSSS!!!
A million times YES!!!!!
I've been waiting for a DS/3DS Outrun game for what feels like forever (ever since I missed out on that GBA Sega compilation), so while I would have liked a new Outrun game built from the ground up for the 3DS, I'd happily settle for this. I was tempted to buy the limited editions of Sonic All Stars Racing Transformed for the bonus Outrun track, but I really didn't enjoy either version of the demo to justify coughing up all that dough for a single track.
Now if only SEGA would commission a new OutRun title for current home consoles… or heck, I'd settle for the old games via VC (oddly, the original OutRun was never released on Wii…)
@Marshi Yes Yes
I love Outrun! They should release it on Wii U eShop as well. I'd buy it in a heartbeat!
It would be awesome if they included songs from Outrun 2 in it.. Shiny World and Risky Ride are my official favorite racing songs from Sega. Followed by Super Sonic Racing of course.
HOLY SMOKES!!! I REALLY hope this makes its way West. LOVE LOVE LOVE this game... lost so many quarters on the arcade version as a kid.
On second thought, add "Super Sonic Racing" to the set list in this too xD that would be HILARIOUS.
I remember this one...... I liked it...... looks like a "FUTURE" buy for me....
Oh man, I am so jazzed about this! America pls :3
Happy days, If only Nintendo VC would take note
If it comes to N.A. I would buy it.
Breath holding...
This is the best news of the day!
There's a track in racing transformed with the outrun music.
YESH!
FINALLY!
WHEN WILL YOU RELEASE THE NEXT SEGA 3D CLASSICS IN AMERICA SEGA!?!?!?! IT CANT BE THAT HARD TO TRANSLATE THEM!!!
I used to play this game ages ago on the Amiga, and I loved it then. I think the nostalgia has worn off since then, though, especially since I can only ever get about three minutes of gameplay out of it before the timer expires.
Apparently that means I suck at it.
This had better come West!
@Windy: I knew this would make your day;) I hope we get both Phantasy Zone and this in NA asap!
@KnightRider666 You know it! I wish Nintendo would get off their butts and make some 3d Classics. Their handling of 3d classics and the VC are not acceptable. I'm so glad sega stepped in for the 3d Classics
YEA BABY!!!! Out Run one of my favorites of ALL time!! I love you SEGA!! Bring it west with afterburner and Fantasy Zone.... & Wii U next please?? I'm positive that you're missing out on $$$$ on that eshop guys!!
@Windy: Agreed, Windy. Let's hope Nintendo follows suit, and Sega keeps amazing all of us...
Nice! Just waiting on Streets of Rage 2! That would be perfect!
The first time I played Outrun, on a stormy ferry crossing to France, is one of my most cherished gaming memories. Need this game on my 3DS ASAP
YES! YES! YES!
YESSSS!!!! ARGH!!! YESSS!!! Please!! Now! Now! Now!
crickets...
*Booting up Shenmue II on Dreamcast...
