Though it might lose some of its magic without the full chair-and-tinted-window-equipped arcade cabinet, we're still pretty pumped about the possibility of getting our hands on a port of Sega's classic flight combat sim, After Burner. According to the OFLC and the Korean Game Rating Board, it's only a matter of time before our wish is fulfilled -- GamerBytes recently noticed that both groups have rated Sega's After Burner Climax for home console distribution.
According to the Korean board, the rating was applied for by Sony, leading some to believe the title's planned launch platform is the PSN. However, considering the multi-platform release of Outrun Online Arcade, we wouldn't be surprised if Sega decided to share the aerial dogfighting love with the 360 as well. We've contacted the hedgehog-loving developer to find out exactly what its plans are for the title.
Outrun Online Arcade isn't multiplatform in the US. Therefore it does not matter. Whatever this comes out on, as long as it does it soon I'll be very happy!
If they did that, they would have undermined arcade sales and performance.Quote:

Is that really an issue anymore? There are barely any arcades now to begin with, and its not like the console port would really provide the same experience.

OFLC
The Korean Game Rating Board has said that Sony CE applied for a rating on After Burner Climax. The OFLC of Australia also has it rated PG as of 11/23/09 for "mild action violence" and says it's a multiplatform game.
ABC may be coming, even if it's not going to be on disc. Cross your fingers and go grab a PS3 flightstick just in case. :D
Yeah, well obviously most just skip the idea of an arcade release altogether, but if you're going to do it, an early home port does hurt things, and while it's not a huge market, consider this: One copy of the arcade machine makes them as much as selling 2,000 copies at home.Quote:

Thought it was pretty cool Kamiya was up to porting this if he wasn't doing Bayonetta, etc.
Two more than they have in New York and New Jersey. I've still never played it.Quote:
