Nintendo has announced Nintendo Switch Online has added Ridge Racer 64, the Nintendo-produced entry from the Nintendo 64.
Ridge Racer 64 was originally released for the Nintendo 64 back in 2000 and was the first entry in the series to not be in arcades or on PlayStation. It was later ported and remade to the Nintendo DS in 2004.
Here’s a blurb on the classic game, plus a new trailer:
Released in 2000 for the Nintendo 64 console, this arcade classic takes you on fast-paced races across three different environments for a total of nine courses! Dive right in with Quick Play to race three laps around the Revolution Novice course or take on Grand Prix and choose any available track to test your skills. Other modes include Car Attack, which lets you compete for better cars, and Time Attack, where the only thing you’re racing against is your own best time! Challenge your friends in Multiplayer and put the pedal to the metal in three modes: Battle Mode, Stage Mode, and Team Mode.
Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack is part of the new subscription tier that launched in October 2021. It adds classic Nintendo 64 games, Sega Genesis games, and Game Boy games to Nintendo’s online service.
