Afterburner 3D
Downloaded this yesterday and it's bloody brilliant!It's always been one of my favourite video games (since first sitting in the cabinet in the mid 80's) and this game is perfectly suited to the 3DS.I've downloaded Galaxy Force 2 and Super Hang on as well previously (both are also great) and this time Afterburner has been given the same special treatment by M2.
You can play in a range of cabinets, which look to simulate playing on the actual arcade machines, there are a range of screen sizes, a superb graphic equaliser to get those banging tunes just as you want them and also a fantastic 'special' mode, where you play through on 1 credit and need to build up lives using an Arfterburner climaxesque 'Burst Mode'.Burst mode is a bit like Bullet time, where it all slows down, allowing you to rack up some big points!The 3D is also superb and adds a lot to a title which has always generated its thrills from it's fast moving, multilayered 3D graphics.Can't wait to play it on the new 3DSXL with head tracking 3D.
I'd recommend that anyone who loved this classic (or who just loves great high temp action games) picks this up asap!A bargain at just over £4.
Bring on Outrun..which is coming soon data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 I'll be all over Outrun! Still got outrun on my old black xbox... Might have to dig the ol' girl out data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7 So come on then....were you a magical shower kind of guy or a splash wave man?I will start to worry if you say Passing Breeze though..that was pants! Yiou can't forget Space Harrier when with these titles either.
That's had great treatment too. Yeah true.For some reason Space Harrier never really grabbed me like Outrun, Afterburner or Super Hang On did.It's a good game though and I spent a fair bit of time playing SH2 on the Megadrive back in the day.
What I would really love to see them do is Power Drift.That's an often overlooked classic IMO and a 3DS version would be great! Ha yeah...I remember the "Extra" stage on it, your car transformed into the Afterburner jet, and you raced with the jet..that game was manic. Back to Outrun...

Why its taking so long to bring to the west I do not know.
Shame about the prancing horse on the back of the Ferrari though!Must be a licensing thing. Grabbed Afterburner 2 last night, at first rock hard, but then it comes to you slightly, what a great port and a perfect fit on the 3DS. Great for 20 min blasts.
So had to grab super hang on also.
Same again superb arcade perfect port, with the new 3DSXL and gyro in 3D this will be great.
Iam holding off on Galaxy force 2 till I get my new 3DSXL, never seen this in arcades or have any recollection of it but looks an essential purchase for anyone into Retro shooters.
Can't wait.
Then Outrun in March. Superb. Yeah I'm holding off on these until I get my new XL. I wish streets of rage 2 was on there instead of the original. I have got it on the wii but would like it to play it via the pad. Will definitely pick up afterburner, hangon and galaxy force 2 though data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7
