Blast through the skies in your battle helicopter!

3D Thunder Blade is a recreation of a one-of-a-kind combat 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 and adds a host of new features. Some of the additional features include: gyro controls, adjustable difficulty settings, Circle Pad Pro support, and a load of options that recreate the look and feel of the original arcade machine. Replay saving and stage select are also available! 3D Thunder Blade also introduces brand new remixes of the original in-game music that can be toggled ‘on’ and ‘off’ and an unlockable Special Mode with updated gameplay, new enemies, and a more powerful fighter.

The meanest machine ever to storm the skies.

Your enemies have surrounded the cities. Infiltrated the forests and covered the canyons. And you've got to get in there and clean things up. Which is what makes this 3-D, chopper combat mission so hectically spectacular. Everything's always changing. The scenery. The enemies. Even the perspective.

Dip down into the war-torn, city canyons and pick off enemy patrollers. Fly over an invading warship—just bristling with gun emplacements—and take them out. One by one.

Finally, blast out enemy headquarters—a monolithic, off-site refinery in the middle of the ocean.

Take off in Thunder Blade today. And find out for yourself why it's taking the nation by storm.

(captions)

This game has it all. And sometimes all at once.

You need agility and artillery to sink this floating arsenal.

Keep your blades away from the buildings. 'Cause this concrete jungle's a killer.

Try shooting and dodging fire at the same time.

Enemy headquarters. Where all is saved. Or lost. And one wrong move could make the difference.
