Ridge Racer 64 - Ridge Racer DS

Ridge Racer DS is a video game based on the Nintendo 64 version of Ridge Racer for the Nintendo DS. The game was remade to make use of features on the DS such as the touch-screen and wireless multi-player while providing otherwise a very similar experience to its original counter-part. Noticeable differences are:

• Turns are easier to negotiate, allowing for less need to brake
• Trophies are given out of order
• There is no option to choose the drift and/or collision mechanics
• The cars's stats are somewhat different
• Reiko Nagase is replaced by Gina Cavalli from R: Racing Evolution
• Speed loss after colliding with other cars is more moderate
• Graphics are update with DS logo on cars instead of 64
• There is no rearview mirror when racing in first-person perspective
• The announcer has a different voice
• Some of the special bonus cars have been altered into cars that feature Mario, Luigi, DK, Shyguy and others on them, rather than their original 64 versions
• Also, a bonus "Mushroom Kingdom II" song (from Super Mario Bros. 2) is included as well

This game was released on December 7, 2004 and rated Everyone by the ESRB (The Entertainment Software Rating Board). However this game is not rated by PEGI from Europe.
