3D Thunder Blade Now Available for 3DS
May
14, in the year of our Lord 2015 -- SEGA announced
today that 3D Thunder Blade™, re-mastered exclusively for the
Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system, is now available to download in
the Nintendo eShop.
3D Thunder Blade is a recreation of a one-of-a-kind combat
helicopter arcade machine originally released in 1987,
re-mastered for the Nintendo 3DS hand-held system. In 3D Thunder
Blade, players control a helicopter and use guns and missiles to
destroy enemy vehicles while flying between buildings, through
caves, and into enemy bases. The re-mastered version boasts
stereoscopic 3D visuals, support for the Circle Pad Pro or
C-Stick, and adds a host of new features including two options
for gyroscopic controls, adjustable difficulty settings, and a
mode that recreates the look and feel of the original arcade
machine with additional sound effects. Replay saving and stage
select are also available!
Unlocked by completing the Arcade Mode, a Special Mode allows
players to replay the game with upgraded attack powers,
increased numbers of enemies with placements in new locations,
all-new enemies, and an additional stage that was developed
specifically for this re-master. 3D Thunder Blade also
introduces brand new remixes of the original in-game music that
can be toggled ‘on’ and ‘off’.
3D Thunder Blade is available now for download in the Nintendo
eShop on Nintendo 3DS. No word on a physical copy version of
this game at this time.
