Ridge Racer 64 is an arcade-style racing video game developed by Nintendo Software Technology for the Nintendo 64 in 2000. It is the first title of Namco's Ridge Racer series on a Nintendo system and was produced under license; however this game was not released in Japan, which may have been attributed to poor sales of the Nintendo 64 there.[1] In 2004, the game was ported and remade for the Nintendo DS as Ridge Racer DS, which uses the system's features such as the touch-screen and wireless multi-player.[2] Additionally, Gina Cavalli from R: Racing Evolution replaced Reiko Nagase as the mascot in the DS version.[3] The DS version also was not released in Japan.
