Sega Ages Virtua Racing and Wonder Boy: Monster Land Bring the Arcade Experience Home

Pick Up Either Game Starting Today on the Nintendo Switch™

IRVINE, Calif. - June 27, 2019 -
Virtua Racing and Wonder Boy: Monster Land are now available on the Nintendo Switch for $7.99 each! The SEGA AGES release of Virtua Racing will put your driving skills to the test, even as it introduces several quality-of-life improvements, like an 8-player local multiplayer mode, online matchmaking, improved framerate, greater draw distance, and rankings, all designed to make this the definitive version.

Wonder Boy: Monster Land takes everything fans know and love from the Wonder Boy series and supplements the arcade classic with several notable additions. That includes a New Game Plus feature, 3 new challenge modes, online leaderboards, a replay function, and much more. There's never been a better time to give either game a try.

About Virtua Racing
Take control of a Formula One racecar 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!

About Wonder Boy: Monster Land
After the defeat of the evil king, the kingdom of Wonder Land was a paradise...for a time. The peace was broken when a ferocious, fire-breathing dragon struck without warning and took over Wonder Land with a swarm of evil, monstrous henchmen, turning the once-peaceful land into the utterly chaotic Monster Land. Realizing he is Wonder Land's last hope, Wonder Boy sets out on an incredible journey to rid the country of the monsters and defeat the "invincible" evil dragon.

Virtua Racing and Wonder Boy: Monster Land are now available individually on the Nintendo Switch eShop in the Americas and Europe for $7.99, with commensurate European pricing. For more information, visit the official website at http://segaages.Sega.com/ and watch our launch trailer.
