RIDDDDDGGGGGGE RAAAAAACERRR! on the Nintendo 64-- Wait, really? And Nintendo developed it? And it turned out great? Cool! Anyway, Ridge Racer 64 brings the formerly PlayStation-only series to a Nintendo console with a selection of tracks that consists of exclusive ones and ones from the first two entries in the series. And it has a great soundtrack as well, which is par for the course for the series but a welcome surprise compared to most N64 games.

A reworked handheld version was released for the Nintendo DS in 2004 as a launch title.
