SEGA announced that the SEGA AGES collection titles Virtua Racing and Wonder Boy: Monster Land will launch on Switch through the Nintendo eShop on June 27, 2019, in the West. The announced price is US$7.99 each.
Below are descriptions of each title provided by SEGA:
SEGA AGES: Virtua RacingSEGA AGES: Virtua Racing brings us the revered classic with an improved frame rate, a much greater draw distance, online matches with leaderboards, and a new replay mechanic that did not exist in the original version. It also supports up to eight simultaneous players in local multiplayer, so you can relive the arcade experience with friends!
Take control of a Formula One racing car and compete against the world's best drivers in the first faithful recreation of the arcade classic. Choose Normal mode, which features four- to five-lap races, or test your endurance by completing 20 laps in the Grand Prix Race. Your car's performance is affected the longer you drive, so plan your pit-stop strategy carefully to take the checkered flag!
SEGA AGES: Wonder Boy: Monster LandSEGA AGES: Wonder Boy: Monster Land contains several notable improvements, such as the “Power Up New Game” feature, which can be activated at any time, even if you have not beaten the game, allowing you to restart after a Game Over with the same equipment. There are also three new challenge modes (Sphinx, Monster Castle, and Fire Ball), online leaderboards, a replay function, and “Money Hungry” Mode. The latter mode removes a bug from the original arcade version in which players increased the value of hidden gold by quickly shaking the joystick back and forth. Although the unintended bug is enabled by default here, “Money Hungry” Mode disables it.
After the evil king was defeated, the kingdom of Wonder Land became a paradise... for a while. Peace was broken when a fierce, fire-breathing dragon attacked without warning and took over Wonder Land with a swarm of evil, monstrous minions, turning the once-peaceful land into an utterly chaotic place of monsters. Realizing that he is Wonder Land's last hope, Wonder Boy begins an incredible journey to rid the country of monsters and defeat the “invincible” evil dragon.
