OutRun goes downloadable...

Sega surprisingly announced OutRun Online Arcade today for Xbox Live Arcade and Playstation Network for an early 2009 release. Developed by Sumo Digital (who did OutRun Coast to Coast for PS3 and XBOX), this is pretty much a cleaned up version of OutRun 2 SP (Special Tours) for the Arcade (maybe Coast to Coast too). I have actually wanted to this in downloadable form and Sega finally answered. This is hopefully a start of a new vision for downloadable games by Sega like Capcom has been doing since last year. Maybe more classic racers by Sega (there are so many to choose from) are just waiting to be revisited again.
