The next Sega Ages game coming to Nintendo Switch will be Virtual Racing. It will be available on the eShop sometime this Spring. So far, it’s only confirmed for release on the Japanese eShop.

Several new features will be added to the arcade classic with this racing. The game will feature one-on-one online multiplayer races. Finally, this release will also feature local multiplayer via split-screen for up to eight players. You’ll definitely need a big TV if you’re going for eight-player split-screen races. You can choose to race either five laps or 20 laps in local multiplayer.

SEGA has now done the exact same thing for its own franchises. The new survey will help “determine the next steps for some of our most popular series, including Sonic the Hedgehog, Yakuza, Valkyria Chronicles, Phantasy Star, and more.”

This past week, 7th Dragon celebrated its tenth anniversary. Director Kazuya Ninou reflected on the occasion as well as his interest in continuing the series.

Ninou is open to a couple of things. He’d love to remake the first 7th Dragon game as well as create an entirely new title. In fact, he already has everything planned for what the new entry could be.

7th Dragon was made by the now-defunct developer Imageepoch. However, that may not actually be too much of a roadblock. Criminal Girls, another one of Imageepoch’s IPs, has already made a comeback, so Ninou is hoping something similar could happen with 7th Dragon.
