Classic shmup action for your Nintendo Switch
The next Sega Ages release headed to Nintendo Switch will be Techno Soft’sThunder Force AC.The sci-fi shootin’ title will be available to download in the west from the Nintendo eShop on May 28.
Thunder Force ACis a remake of sorts of 1990 Sega Mega Drive sequelThunder Force III. The latter proved so popular that Sega “reverse-released” it as an arcade title, an unusual practice for the company at the time. Graphically,Thunder Force ACis identical to its home version but features minor new content as well as the return of some villains from previousThunder Forcetitles. It would later be ported to the SNES and Sega Saturn.

The Sega Ages edition ofThunder Force ACcontains the usual run of Sega Ages bonus features, including leaderboards, a CRT filter, screen orientation options, replay mode, save states, and a “Kids Mode”, which steps down the difficulty for those who find the ’90s shmup action a little much to bear.
Thunder Force ACwill be available to download on Nintendo Switch from May 28, priced at $8.
