Namco’s iconic arcade racer, Rave Racer, is making waves in the gaming community with its first-ever home release, set to launch on February 26. This marks a significant moment for retro gaming enthusiasts, as it follows the successful home port of the original Ridge Racer last year. The game, originally released in 1995, was the last major arcade title in the Ridge Racer series, and its arrival on modern consoles is a nostalgic treat for fans.
Developed by Hamster Corporation, Rave Racer joins the Arcade Archives and Arcade Archives 2 series, bringing with it enhanced features like multiple save slots, a rewind option, and VRR support for a more authentic arcade experience. Players can look forward to various modes, including Original Mode and High Score Mode, alongside new additions in the Arcade Archives 2 version, such as Time Attack and Network Mode for online play.
As we gear up for this release, its exciting to see how the gaming landscape continues to embrace retro titles. Will Rave Racer reignite the passion for arcade racing games among a new generation of players? Only time will tell.
