After Burner 2 has 23 stages, new difficulty settings, new graphics options, a selection of "real arcade cabinets." Beating the games 23 stages promises an extra mode to players that has "even more gameplay enhancements." The games that will be released monthly after After Burner 2's official release on the 3DS eShop are as follows: 3D Fantasy Zone, 3D OutRun, 3D Fantasy Zone II, and 3D Thunder Blade.
