This wasn’t just a port of the original game and, in fact, Ridge Racer wasn’t even developed by Namco, but instead, it was the very first game developed by Nintendo Software Technology. They obviously poured their hearts into making the game since everything about it is excellent! – (Ricky D) Namco’s classic franchise hit the Nintendo 64 four years after debuting on Sony’s Playstation, complete with new tracks, new cars, a four-player mode, rock-solid frame rates, faster speed and an all-new gameplay mechanic to boot. Among them is San Francisco Rush, Road Rash, Beetle Adventure Racing, Micro Machines, Wipeout, Wave Race, Diddy Kong Racing, Excitebike and our first entry in this list – Ridge Racer 64, one of the best racing games ever to hit Nintendo’s system. When people think of the Nintendo 64, Mario Kart 64 is usually the first racing game that comes to mind, but there were so many great racing games released for the system that the N64 might just have the best lineup of that genre. Fans of arcade style games should love the fast-paced action, brilliant controls, and fantastic over the top storyline. Treasure’s unique approach to game design coupled with Nintendo’s trademark polish makes this worthy of being remembered as one of the 64-bit greats and easily one of the best rail shooters ever made. For the unfamiliar, the game is essentially a 3D Cabal-styled shooter with a grandiose anime-inspired storyline massively detailed levels epic set-pieces (the ocean fleet chapter is most memorable), intricate character and enemy models and action that was so rapid, it was almost impossible to keep up. It’s the Nintendo 64 game that many North American gamers imported purely on the positive buzz from respected gaming magazines such as EGM. If you’re still in school let us know in the comments if you still use any of these, or if educational games are still used in some capacity.Anyone who plays many of the games found on the Virtual Console should be familiar with Treasure, a tiny Japanese developer with a huge cult following and a back catalogue packed with classic titles including one major hit, Hideyuki Suganami’s Sin and Punishment. Originally passed over for localization, Nintendo only released the arcade-style action shooter stateside via the Wii Virtual Console in 2007. They weren’t fun and I sure didn’t learn anything from my experiences with them. I went down the rabbit hole that is my nostalgia and looked at some games that tried to pass themselves off as educational specifically in the 90s. If anything I would venture that’s how they’re sneaking in video games to the classroom. The choices, if they do, are also more vast thanks to the introduction of Apps. Now I know they were a big part of my childhood, but I don’t know if schools still use educational games today. I need to get some scoops! I’m veering off track here so let me tie this rambling into today’s subject: educational games. That’s why invisibility would be such a great power for a journalist. If I had any nearby younger cousins I would have asked to sit in on a daily routine for research. That was just before the first iPhone came out. Technology has come pretty far since I graduated. If I went into a school right now I bet it would be different in the way they interact compared to my youth.
