If there’s one game to entice me to buy a 3DS its OutRun.
Also, does anyone know if SEGA plan on releasing more 3D classics outside of the ones that have already been announced?
Lastly, do we know if SEGA plan to support the NEW 3DS and release games specifically for it, taking into account the upgrade in performance?
We don’t have any information on any of that, sadly. I guess it will depend on Wave 2 does. SEGA Japan said there wasn’t going to be a Wave 3, but they might have fibbed since 3D Streets of Rage 2 was recently rated in Australia:

The issue I have is that I think a lot of SEGA fans are not showing up and supporting classic IPs like these. Fantasy Zone has under 40 ratings on the eShop. That… is just too low.
People wonder why SEGA moves away from older IPs…
Well, I don’t really see Sega put much effort into bothering to market them, I think they still think people will just see the Sega logo and assume that’s the only advertising they need, many times people aren’t even aware of what Sega puts out, how did a small French third party company like ubi-soft manage to make third part multi-million selling titles like Assassin’s Creed and Far Cry that dwarf the offerings of a behemoth like Sega.
Sega has published on their block 5 entries for Fantasy Zone, very few gaming sites have cared to report even on the launch trailer, who even knows if they have even sent press notes, but what is worst is that they don’t even announce the release date, and a week before we just know what game will be released next week because we see it on the Nintendo site.
I watch each month a youtube video that talks about the major releases of the month, they, of course, talk about what they know, not about what’s not announced. And I’m betting paper magazines are in the same situation, a monthly publication can’t talk about the release of two random games that don’t have a release date.
Uh, blame me too and remind me to rate the games. I bought it all 3D classics but I never bother and too lazy to rate the games on the e-shop. -_-a
It would be a shame if they didn’t release any further games. That being said, with SoR2 announced hopefully they’ll continue supporting the 3D classics range and encourage me to part with my money.
Aside from the interview blogs, SEGA don’t really market these. I could have swore I was on their mailing list but have never received emails about their games. That’s why I come here for my SEGA news 😀
If it weren’t for SEGABits, I don’t think even most of the bigger Sega followers would even be aware of what Sega is doing, the only other places are sites like Sega Addicts and Sega Nerds, point is, the fans always have to follow Sega rather than Sega following the fans, otherwise, nobody has clue.
I suppose the most direct way of keeping in touch with Sega is following their official Facebook pages, other than that, these sites are the only way, and of course, a Facebook ‘like’ doesn’t indicate a +1 sale, Sega’s European Facebook page has over 1+Million (their Japanese page has more) and counting Likes, of course, not every like is necessarily a follower, plus you’d need to use Facebook frequently and have your Like set to Add to ‘notifications’ in order to get all their posts thanks to Facebook changing the algorithms of the site once again. So these websites and their Facebook pages are the best and only ways to go to keep updated frequently at least from a basic observation.
