Note:


This is the 1987 arcade version, in 3D, like 3D After Burner II was.


Whatever your opinions about Super Thunder Blade on Genesis / Mega Drive and Wii Virtual Console were, that was a somewhat different game, not a direct port, designed for Sega's 16-Bit console in 1988 (a launch game in Japan in '88 and the U.S. in  '89  and considered a  poor effort even by those who reviewed it in '89, including EGM.



Features announced so far (translated)


- August 20th in Japan
- 1000 yen
- widescreen
- moving cabinet effect
- gyro controls and twin-stick controls via Circle Pad Pro

Thunder Blade Is Getting The 3D Ages Remake Treatment
By Spencer . August 7, 2014 . 11:12pm


Sega’s helicopter shooter, Thunder Blade, is coming to Nintendo 3DS on August 20. It’s joining the list of 3D remastered games like 3D Space Harrier and 3D Outrun.


3D Thunder Blade has stereoscopic 3D graphics and optional motion controls that simulate the feeling of sitting in an arcade cabinet. Sega also made a Special Mode which has a new final stage and the true boss at the end.


As of now, 3D Thunder Blade and the current wave of Sega 3D Classics have not been announced for regions other than Japan.

@PBZReviews If a continuance is released any place other than Japan, I am glad. You should introduce hope into SEGA West.


Western World, do your part, for those that have not already done so.   


Buy the games in the first series, tweet, use social media in general.  Spread the word.


We need After Burner II, Fantasy Zone, Out Run, Fantasy Zone II DX and Thunder Blade in North America and Europe.

Sometimes, you just want to play a video game.
