Arcade ports are all great, but everything that isn't Altered Beast is way up there anyway. Make sure you get Galaxy Force, or at least check out the screens for it on its Miiverse board. Insane look to that game.

They're all great except Altered Beast. Galaxy Force II is flat out amazing considering how old it is. I really like Shinobi III also. Can't really go wrong though aside from Altered Beast.
Aside from Altered Beast being based on the MD/Genesis version, not the arcade, the 3D effect is very weak, the weakest I've seen, unlike Shinobi III which has a much better 3D effect.
At least System 16 arcade Altered Beast exists on the Wii Virtual Console Arcade (not talking about the console version on regular Wii VC).

Ooooh, they've added two music tracks!
Also digging the arcade-style background for the cabinet display option.

No Testarossa, but now we can pick car colors! That's kinda cool.

Looks like the composers for the new songs have worked on Cave shooter music and menu music from the Sega Vintage collections.

Okay, pretty hype for the two new music tracks.
Cruising Line is by M2's own Manabu Namiki. He contributed to a looot of Cave soundtracks like Mushihimesama, DoDonPachi and DeathSmiles. Also Opoona, and the awesome remixes from M2/Konami's WiiWare 'Rebirth' games.
Camino a Mi Amor is by Jane-Evelyn Nisperos, otherwise known as chibi-tech. She provided the cool menu music for SEGA's Vintage Collection stuff (like this), and seemingly did an original track in 3D Fantasy Zone. SEGA BRING THAT SHIT OVER HERE.
More importantly, she's responsible for making the NES somehow pump out this ridiculously crunchy dubstep.

Well that's disappointing. No new game mode available? Two new tracks are awesome news, especially since I like Chibi-Tech's chiptune work, but the 3D better justify buying this over playing the Cannonball app.

Nice. Car colors is a pretty nice trade-off for the horse emblem.
I figured there would be new music but I figured it would be pulled from various home ports (some of them had extra music).

I'm familiar with Manabu Namiki from various shooting games. He's a-ok.

I'd rather have Hiro's rearrangements from the Saturn port than new music in the OutRun vein, but Namiki/Chibi-Tech is a formidable combo.
Yay! The glory of owning J-3DS.

Shame this only has a Faux-rari Testarossa, but whatever. All the options and new music (omigod, new music!) will make this the best version of Outrun.

I'm looking over that page in Google translate and man are there tons of options here.
- Choice of car color (Google translates it as "model" so it might even be different car types)
- Save states
- "Replay" option that will play back recorded gameplay at normal, half or double speed.
- Steer with slide pad, d-pad, or touch-screen
- 5 difficulty levels - on the lowest level there will be no other cars on the road
- Time limit can be set on a scale of 1 to 5
- Can select between playing the Japanese version or International version. The stages are arranged differently depending on the version.
- Can switch between mile and kilometer display
- Buttons are completely user configurable
- Three shifter types: Toggle, Hold, and Automatic
- Four screen display types: 4:3 (original), 16:9 (widescreen), Full (zoomed to fill the 3DS screen) and Cabinet (arcade cabinet view)
- Moving housing (optional) - simulates the Deluxe Outrun arcade cabinet by tilting the screen when you steer
- Environmental sounds (optional) - simulates the sounds the motors in the deluxe arcade cabinet made when it tilted side to side.
- Volume sliders for sound effects, BGM and environmental sounds
- Separate setting for engine sound volume (3 levels)
- Equalizer - It is possible to process the reproduced sound of the game
- BGM test menu
- 2 new BGM tracks in addition to the original 3 (5 in total)
Whew!
Had to look for a video of the deluxe arcade cabinet out of curiosity.

Uh. Damn. I almost want to buy it just to support the effort from these guys. Helps that Outrun is pretty sweet too.

Two new music tracks? Nice. Looks like I'll be picking this up next week.
Seriously love the effort M2's been putting in these ports.

I can't believe they were actually able to put this many features into it. They must have completely reverse-engineered the game or something.
If only Nintendo put half as much effort into their 3D Classics. Why don't they hire M2 to do their own? They're already doing some Virtual Console emulators for them.

'Cuz N don't care? Also nobody else seems to either, publisher-wise. Which is a shame for us, of course, but if the only publisher out of the lot of them that is interested on supporting such a thing is Sega, then we aren't bad off at all.
Even so, it's always gonna be aggravating to think of all that missed potential..

I'd agree with you, but I've got no money. This will be mine eventually though!
Actually, I know who I'd like to see. Square Enix. No, not for any RPGs or anything like that: Because they own these guys (and presumably at least some of their rights):

The hardest part about these games is waiting for the announcement of what's next, the best bit is the fact that when a release date is announced, it's always a week away 
Here's a run through Out Run on Saturn in Smooth Mode / 60 FPS.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SozvhUlyXec
So at least there's always Saturn, and CannonBall, for our 60fps Out Run fix.

They will be localised. I definitely prefer playing these titles on a NA system (and the 2DS) but is fun to check them out first on the japanese system, for sure.

If they did they've reinvented the wheel. The cannonball guy already did that, and reprogrammed it in portable C whilst he was at it.

Not actually that important
All those juicy options... and no online leaderboards
Is there a way to use Miieverse effectively for leaderboard-like competitions?

Wow you nailed it.
It's too bad S-E never lets Taito do anything interesting (aside from mobile crap and random arcade games nobody will ever get to play)

Remind people that if it is out, this means that the Miiverse community is out, and with that is screenshots you can see in 3d in your 3ds
Just change your miiverse region to Japan
any salty miiverse posts about no Testarossa?

Honestly, why are people even complaining about that? Sega likely wasn't about to bother renegotiating the licensing for that, so this minor edit was probably the only way Outrun was going to make it to 3DS. I can live with that as opposed to being uncompromising and having Outrun passed on by Sega.
Anyways, it looks gorgeous. The widescreen mode features no upscaling and fits the entire horizontal resolution of the 3DS. The framerate is extremely smooth. There's plenty of options to edit controls and view modes, but you already knew that from Sega's website. I'll play around with it more after work today.
I bought my JP 3DS about a year ago primarily for Sega's 3D Classics, and this game in-particular. Worth the wait.
How are the 2 new tunes?
Man, I can't wait to get my hands on this in NA. Coming off of the stellar arcade ports from the first batch of Sega 3D classics, I'm expecting great things.
