PSN, XBLA: After Burner Climax Coming To PSN?

According to game rating boards worldwide, Sega's air battle game may be coming to the PlayStation Network.
After Burner Climax has recently appeared on the Australian Classification Operating Branch website, but like many games it shows up as Multiplatform. The Korean Game Rating Board however goes a little deeper, and reveals that the rating was applied for by the local Sony Computer Entertainment branch.
The game has been in Arcades for some time but there had been no talk of a home release for it. The game was developed on the Sega Lindbergh board. There might be a chance that this will also come to the Xbox LIve Arcade, but as we've seen from Outrun Online Arcade and Virtual On: OT, Sega isn't above going for a strictly multi-platform route when it comes to digital titles.
After Burner Climax is a perfect fit for a downloadable game - though it feel like it's missing something without the giant cabinet attached to it. Hopefully we'll hear more soon.

Neat, I played this recently when I was in Seattle for PAX, and it's actually a lot of fun. (It relies quite a lot on the motion controlled seat for thrills, though, which might be a problem!)
