Sega Ages: Virtua Racing
Take control of a formula one racing car and compete against the world’s best drivers in the first faithful reproduction of the arcade classic. Choose between the Normal Race mode that features four-to-five lap races, or put your endurance to the test by completing 20 laps in the Grand Prix Race. Your car’s performance is affected the longer you drive, so make sure you plan your pit stop strategy carefully so you can take the checkered flag! Although Virtua Racing has been released on many different platforms before, this version of the game is a faithful implementation of the original arcade game released in 1992.

With Virtua Racing, M2 proves the Switch is a capable showcase for Sega Model 1’s divine austerity. As a three-course arcade racer with one car, Virtua Racing only goes as far as its $8 price tag. Through the lens of arcade and Sega enthusiasts, however, this port of Virtua Racing looks like it should be preserved under glass. How lucky we are to be able to pick it up and enjoy it.

M2 did a pretty good job at this port. Everything looks and runs quite well, and the customization options for the gameplay and controls are much appreciated. While I wish the visuals looked more like the PS2 port of the game, and that there were more content, this is still a neat little package that should prove to be fun for any fan of racing games, whether you’re a novice or veteran.

SEGA AGES: Virtua Racing7.99 Pros - Beautiful visuals and smooth frame rate - Lots of tweaking options in the emulator - Local and online multiplayer features, and online leaderboards - Game mechanics still hold up well all these years later Cons - A little difficult, even at lower difficulty levels - Motion controls are meh - Some may find it too small Having been introduced to video games at the age of 3 via a Nintendo 64, A.K has grown up in the culture.

It’s another cheap and entertaining effort in the AGES series, and a decent racer to boot. Whether you are looking for a nostalgic jaunt to the 1990s or a quirky little racer, you can’t really go wrong with Virtua Racer.

Even with decades of racing games behind us, Virtua Racing stands out as a super-fun racer that holds up wonderfully.Sega Ages: Virtua Racing gameplay video → Puyo Puyo Review Switch ★★★★☆ The original arcade Puyo Puyo may not be well known here in North America but it marked the beginning of a top-notch puzzle series.

While I can’t overlook that M2 failed to tap the more robust home ports, SEGA AGES Virtua Racing will appeal to Model 1 arcade purists. Don’t let the relative ease of cruising past Big Forest’s amusement park fool you, this is still a challenging experience. And “the herald of modern racing games” is still fun, nostalgia goggles or not. Review: SEGA AGES Virtua Racing (Nintendo Switch) Good While I can’t overlook that M2 failed to tap the more robust home ports, SEGA AGES Virtua Racing will appeal to Model 1 arcade purists.
