Nintendo 64 Longplay: Ridge Racer 64
107Ridge Racer 64 is a racing game developed by Nintendo Software Technology with support of Namco and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64 console in 2000, making it the first game in the series to be release on a Nintendo system. It features tracks from Ridge Racer and Ridge Racer Revolution and its very own set of desert tracks called "Renegade", exclusive to the Nintendo 64. This is the first Ridge Racer game that is not released in Japan. In 2004, a remake called Ridge Racer DS was released for the Nintendo DS handled system.
Ridge Racer 64 makes a return to the fast-paced, pick-up-and-play arcade mechanics of the early games of the series, allowing any player to jump into the game in a simple and fun way. NST designed a new drift and "progressive" collision detection system; Ridge Racer Revolution-based drift and collision systems, as well as a drift system reminiscent of the original Ridge Racer, were added for veteran players as well.
