SEGA Japan has revealed that Thunder Blade is the next SEGA arcade title to receive the 3D remastering treatment. 3D Thunder Blade is set to release on August 20th, 2014, priced at 926 yen (excluding tax), and like other second series 3D Classics releases, there is no Western release planned as of yet. Hey SEGA, we want more 3D Classics! Features include a reproduction of the arcade cabinet experience, gyro sensor gameplay, and a special mode featuring the game’s final stage.
After the break, check out a gallery of screenshots, and while you’re at it let SEGA know (nicely, not rudely) that we want more 3D Classics in the West!
Please SEGA, give me more 3D Classics!!!

So does that mean we can expect another 3 games to be announced as part of this 2nd phase?
I’m hedging my bets on Power Drift, Super Monaco GP and Turbo OutRun being the last 3. Either way whether I’m right or wrong, I just hope they release them in the West.
