According to GameSpot, where I compiled this list, OutRun Online Arcade was released last week. I have no idea if this is true or not, so I'll just keep it there. It had user reviews and everything!

Anyway, I wonder what 2009 will bring? We have the likes of OutRun and MadWorld to look forward to, as well as announcements regarding old franchises being revived (if Thunder Force VI sells well) and a possible new 2D Sonic game. And that concludes possible my tallest post yet.
