Is this confirmed for Western release?

Hello again, old friend.
That's not the original Ferrari Testarossa. Is there any car selection mode or just Sega had any license problem? There's even a strange eagle in place of the original "Cavallino Rampante"

Nope. It somehow took SEGA almost an entire year to bring over the first lot of games, so I wouldn't expect 3D OutRun until early 2015 if we do get it.
The thing that took them so long is more than likely getting it rated since that takes forever outside of Japan in some countries.
I don't have the time nor money to pick this up yet, but let it be known it will be mine! :>

No prancing horse sadly, and no car selection other than unlockable paint jobs.

Well that's a little letdown. It looks more an unfaithful port than a powered version of the original game to me
Beating the game unlocks different mods for your car, which improve its handling and maximum speed. You get a different mod for each of the first four courses that you finish on. When you beat all five courses you unlock the original arcade version, but I think the only difference is that the arcade version runs at half the framerate.

I don't remember reading this on the release page. Glad to hear it's set to 60 FPS, though, and that there's a bit more customization than I anticipated. Excellent!

I own all of the Sega 3D classics aside from Ecco and this might be the best yet. As well as the usual options to tinker with screen size etc, the upgrades, new music and inclusion of the arcade version are all very welcome. Plays amazing too and the 3D effect gives it some incredible draw distance.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
Man, these positive impressions are encouraging. Glad they really delivered with one of Sega's best games.
I mean, not that they haven't been delivering this whole time.
The Ferrari liscense probably doesn't come cheap these days.
I don't think it makes it any less unfaithful though. It's just a symbol and maybe a slightly different looking car

I would've thought that the 3DS would be able to run OutRun Coast 2 Coast though, with Nintendo's huge cash pile i'm sure they could've stumped up the cash for a new license, then have a 3DS 3D version & also a 2D WiiU eShop version.

OutRun plays like a fucking dream, even now. Being able to take this anywhere I wish with many modern amenities will be great...don't screw this up, SoJ.
So after failing countless times I finally got to exit a. People in this universe shouldn't be allowed to drive, pulling out infront of me all the damn time.
The turning tuneup seems really powerful and driving with it makes you feel like a total boss taking corners with no issues at all. Just every single track in this game, especially the new music just feels so good to bomb it down the road too.

this game is SO GOOD. there's nothing quite like outrun.

I wonder if it'll be another short wait for the next game in the series. IIRC, Outrun was announced just a few days after Fantasy Zone came out. Maybe we can expect to hear about something else pretty soon...?
I mean, that's all we with US 3DSes have to enjoy at this point.

Well the actual car is different also....
Its the same model they used in Yu Suzuki Game Works Vol. 1....
Surely it does resemble a proper Testarossa that much that they would have to change the shape, just removing the badge would of been enough???
Saturn? The Xbox version is god like.
But But YouTube locks at 30fps
Yeah I know, and there's obviously no gamersyde footage of Saturn OutRun but trust me the Saturn version is 60fps in smooth mode.

It's also the same with Out Run playable in Shenmue II on Japanese/EU Dreamcast, as well as the Xbox version.

Man. Years ago, I would have never figured I'd have portable. 60 fps, arcade perfect/superior ports of Space Harrier, After Burner II, Galaxy Force II and OutRun, let alone with legitimate new content. What a world we live in.
(Also, Camino A Mi Amor is a really great tune, wow.)

So M2 didn't make their own car for this? From the screens it looked different than the Shenmue 2/YSGWv.1 version.
The horizontal lines that the 3DS XL screen produces due to the nature of it's display, like the PSP 3000 screen, kind of annoy me, but they are spot on for these classics. Yeah, they aren't that dark, but it's kind of cool for these games. Looks decent in the screens above.

Which of Sega's 3D classics hold up the best? I haven't spent a ton of time with any of them.

I don't see how this could be the case. In my experience, using all 4 powerups turns the game into a complete cakewalk.

Much as I love Galaxy Force II, Super Hang-On's the most robust game SEGA made that's in the first batch. It's balls-to-the-wall hard, and it'll take memorizing course layouts and traps over time, but the game ain't ever unfair.
I'd expect they'll release the games in a similar fashion as they did with the first wave. So all within a few weeks. But that would also mean they won't announce a Western release before all the games for their second season are announced in Japan.
When is this out in UK/EU ?
No news yet ?
Could be wrong but I don't think there's been any word on the games of the 2nd series of 3D Classics coming to NA or UK / EU.
So far that's After Burner II, Fantasy Zone and now Out Run.
Pretty nice video comparing (all?) the different ports of Out Run, including the GBA version that's part of Sega Arcade Gallery, and the PS2 remake.

Fails to mention that the NA Saturn version on Sega Ages Vol 1 also includes the 60 FPS smooth mode of the Japanese release, NA only lacked the remixed music. Otherwise a good video.

Seconded. Super Hang-On is the best of the batch. The stakes are super high and a single crash can spell doom for a run. It is one of the most intense games that I've ever played and it requires high proficiency and practice to master. Nailing a sharp turn and getting right back up to speed feels so good. Running into another driver always gets my blood boiling!
