Outrun Brings Its Magical Sound Shower To XBLA, PSN

By Luke Plunkett on December 19, 2008 at 12:00 PM

Great, unexpected news, Sega (and good times) fans: Outrun returns. And it’s not the retro OutRun, nor the wonderful Sumo Digital arcade port from a few years back. It’s something in between.

Called OutRun Online Arcade, Sumo are on development duties, with the game due to hit both Xbox Live Arcade and the PlayStation Network in “early 2009″. The game brings the handling and sexy minigames of the 2003 version to the courses of the original, with a dash of HD thrown in for good measure.

No mention of price just yet, but it’ll support up to six players online.

    I hope they bring back Flag Man. He was my favorite thing of OutRun 2006. that and the fact they had the original music. Magical Sound Shower is one of the best songs ever written for a computer game.

    Totally getting this on PSN.

    Very happy about the news. But, since Outrun was created by Yu Suzuki, are we allowed to hijack this thread in the name of Shenmue?
