Japan: SEGA AGES: Virtua Racing Drifts Onto eShop April 25
SEGA finally revealed that SEGA AGES: Virtua Racing will be launching via eShop this April.
The classic racer is dated for release on Switch next week, April 25. List price is at 925 yen.
Here’s an overview of the game plus all its features:
Sega’s 3D Game Origins Finally Reaches Sega Ages
Control a 3D formula car, choose from one of three course types, and race in four-to-five lap races with the goal of first place. Additionally, you can switch between four different perspectives during gameplay, from the driver’s view to bird’s-eye view.
The First Faithful Reproduction of the Arcade Version
The Sega Ages version of Virtua Racing is the first faithful reproduction of the arcade version. The “Normal Race” and “Grand Prix Race” settings made possible by the arcade circuit board settings can both be configured in the settings. While Normal Race has four-to-five laps, Grand Prix Race is an endurance run of 20 laps. Since your tires wear as you drive, which affects your handling, it is important to determine when to make a pit stop to change your tires in a Grand Prix Race.
Additionally, there are two competitive modes. The first is a two-player online multiplayer race mode. The second is an offline race mode that uses a single Switch unit and supports up to eight players locally. Have everyone bring over their Joy-Cons and resurrect the excitement of being at the arcade.
Additional Sega Ages-Exclusive Features
Replay saving and playback is an additional feature not included in the original arcade version. You can even change the replay camera, including off-course perspectives.
