Item Condition

Game only: the cartridge in a protective holder, no box or manual. Our grade: Heavy Wear. For the specifics, look to the photos — they're of this exact cartridge. The label has sustained significant damage, which is visible and worth noting for condition-conscious collectors. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

Ridge Racer was born in Namco's arcades and grew up on PlayStation, so a Nintendo-made version felt like an unlikely crossover. Namco licensed the series to Nintendo, and Nintendo Software Technology, the publisher's North American studio, built Ridge Racer 64 specifically for the console. It was the first Ridge Racer made for a Nintendo system, and it plays like the work of a team determined to prove the N64 could do the series justice.

The heart of it is the drift. Ridge Racer's signature technique, lifting off or tapping the brake to throw the car sideways and holding the slide through a sweeping bend, is intact and as satisfying as ever, with the analog stick giving fine control over the angle. The track list mixes three sets: reworked courses from the original Ridge Racer, courses from Ridge Racer Revolution and an all-new Renegade set built for this cartridge, with variations and reverse runs adding to the count. Car Attack duels pit you one-on-one against a rival machine you can win for your own garage, gradually building a stable of machines you have earned on the track.

The presentation is bright and confident, with sun-drenched seaside highways, tunnels and city stretches rendered in a clean style, and Keith Arem's soundtrack keeps the energy up. Up to four players can race in split screen, which made it a natural fit for a console built around four controller ports and gave the series a four-way couch-competition angle.

Critics rated it among the stronger racers on the system, and it was the way to play Ridge Racer on a Nintendo console until the DS remake arrived years later. On an N64 racing shelf it adds something none of the other games quite match: pure arcade drifting with Namco's style and Nintendo's polish.
