Review 3D Thunder Blade (3DS eShop)
Get to the chopper!
There was a time in the late '80s when Thunder Blade machines were a fairly common sight in amusement arcades. Yet even with a decent amount of distribution it was never in the same league as its close cousins; the instant visual assault from Sega's flashier and more exciting looking games such as Out Run, After Burner and Space...

Matters Of Import Taking Off With 3D Thunder Blade
Thundering ahead?
1987 was a great year for Sega in the arcades – After Burner II was wowing gamers and the previous year’s big hit, Out Run, was still going strong. But there was another Sega game doing the rounds at the same time with equally impressive sprite scaling techniques, and that game was Thunder Blade. Broadly speaking the game’s...
About The Game
Blast through the skies in your battle helicopter!
3D Thunder Blade is a recreation of a one-of-a-kind combat originally released in 1987, re-mastered for the Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system. In 3D Thunder Blade, players control a helicopter and use guns and missiles to destroy enemy vehicles while flying between buildings, through caves, and into enemy bases. The re-mastered version boasts stereoscopic 3D visuals and adds a host of new features. Some of the additional features include: gyro controls, adjustable difficulty settings, Circle Pad Pro support, and a load of options that recreate the look and feel of the original arcade machine. Replay saving and stage select are also available! 3D Thunder Blade also introduces brand new remixes of the original in-game music that can be toggled 'on' and 'off' and an unlockable Special Mode with updated gameplay, new enemies, and a more powerful fighter.

Just one and a half day, and i have another Sega sprite scaler game from my old times at the arcades, Hope they will do them all! Still waiting for:
3D Power Drift.
3D Turbo OutRun.
3D OutRunners.
3D Rail Chase.
3D Rad Mobile.
So come on Sega, there's even more money to be made! And maybe even port all the 3D games to Wii U, Playstation 4, and Xbox One, with a 3D option! Would be awesome, and since the games that are allready out on Nintendo's 3DS, most of those don't even need much work to get them in 3D
@musicmaniac1965 I'd love to have all those too! ESPECIALLY Rad Mobile.
I never really got to play OutRunners in the arcade (the one time i did see it in the arcade, a friend of mine insisted that he play it and not me even though it was my money). The genesis version doesn't do it justice. Hopefully this will be a future release.
