A port of 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.

It really sucks that being a switch exc
I'm bad at this game and feel no desire to get better. The annoying arcade difficulty doesn't help with this. It's well made tho
i just remember being a little kid and mashing on the camera button on the arcade cab. i used to think that it was the coolest thing ever.
fun racing game to pick up and play. it's no daytona usa that should have been on Switch by now but I guess there by licensing issues for that. i never could get anybody to play this game with me. oh well, just had to deal with bots where the slightest of contact with one of them can ruin your whole race.
It was an interesting look into early 3D gaming history. It’s an excellent port as well and I love having online rankings with viewable replays.
Solid port of the original that gives it a 60 FPS facelift while remaining faithful to the source.
That said, it might be a little too faithful for some, as it lacks any of the extra content from the previous home ports.
Also the multiplayer is awful! Local multiplayer can only be done on the same unit and everyone has to use single Joy-Cons, you can't bring a Pro Controller or other non-Joy-Con controllers. The online multiplayer is so terrible it might as well not exist, as it's only two players, there's a forced PvP window that can be distracting, and the performance is pretty bad.
