After Burner: Climax heading to PSN? News • News • Eurogamer.net

News Xbox 360 PlayStation 3

Oz, Korean classifications say so.

SEGA may be readying the return of the eye-catching After Burner: Climax.

Presented as evidence are listings for the game on the Australian and Korean (via Gamerbytes) government classification websites.

The Australians say the game will be multiplatform, while the Koreans point to PlayStation Network as the destination.

SEGA Europe offered a flat "no comment" on the matter this morning.

We believe a retro-revival on one platform and not both would be unlikely, and expect SEGA to do something similar to OutRun Online Arcade, which appeared on PS3 and Xbox 360 in April and was awarded 8/10 by Eurogamer.

Wow!

After Burner: Climax is a relatively new arcade game - Wikipedia reckons 2006 - in the popular fighter-plane series. The aim is simply to swoop around impressive and bright vistas cannoning or missile-pummelling anything that flies past into oblivion.

Available to play in the Bowlplex at Brighton Marina - well worth a couple of quid. Absolute mayhem, it is.

Did someone deliberately avoid the headline "After Burner: Climax coming to PSN?"

It was announced ages ago, the last 2-3 yrs ago at least that Afterburner climax was going to be ported to consoles but nothing much was heard of afterwards, it's about bloody time!

Also SEGA freaking release House of the dead 4 already!!!...
