Set the Galaxy Ablaze in SEGA AGES Thunder Force AC, Now Out for Nintendo Switch!

The legendary space shooter powerhouse takes to the skies once again. Armed with a payload of electric entertainment, Thunder Force AC joins the SEGA AGES fleet of enhanced classics for the Nintendo Switch starting today! Check out our launch trailer for more.

Featuring a cavalcade of enhanced features and visuals, you can expect a devastating armada of entertainment right in your hands. This includes:

• Arcade Mode, a faithful adaptation of the original arcade release featuring three other unlockable ships lifted from later Thunder Force titles (FIRE LEO-04 RYNEX, FIRE LEO-04 RYNEX with the Thunder Claw weapon, and FIRE LEO-3 STYX MP Mass Production Model)
• A Kids Mode to help you on your mission by providing increased attack power, additional credits (9 instead of 6), and the ability to retain your weapons even after your ship has been destroyed, among other adjustments
• Two different sets of Leaderboards - "Expert" for those that play the game with its default settings enabled, and "Freestyle" for when the settings have been changed
• And the option to save and view Replays, including those from the leaderboards!

Other improvements include stereo sound for most of the music and sound effects, HD Rumble, a CRT-like "Vintage" display, a "Cabinet" mode letting you relive that arcade ambiance, and save states, so any pilot error becomes a distant memory..

SEGA AGES Thunder Force AC is now available on the Nintendo Switch eShop in the Americas and Europe for $7.99 (with commensurate European pricing). For more information, please visit the official website at https://segaages.sega.com/, and watch our launch trailer.
