Ridge Racer 3DS

Namco-Bandai’s premiere racing franchise is making its way onto the 3DS. Looking similar to the PSP version but with (of course) 3d cars

Just in case you are not aware of what ridge races is? (in which case frankly you have been living under a gaming rock the last 7 years), Ridge Racer is a series of arcade racing games developed and published by Namco for both the arcade and various consoles.

Ridge Racer uses tracks which take place in the fictional city of Ridge City. Ridge City contains varied landscapes such as cities, beaches, woods, and mountains. Ridge City is located in Ridge State, whose location is unknown.

The actual scope of Ridge city has changed over the series, adding new tracks all the time. However, The City still retains the original course from Ridge Racer and Ridge Racer 2. In some of the earlier games, all of the tracks share the same starting line and finish line, but open or close off different parts of the track to yield a different course, with the gameplay itself often focusing on drift racing.

The soundtrack predominantly features fairly up-beattechno music composed by Namco in-house artists. Most of the games use Reiko Nagase as a mascot, and many feature Full Motion Video sequences by Kei Yoshimizu from Keica inc.
