DOES THE KING OF DRIFT STILL HAVE IT?

Well this has been a pleasant surprise. As much as we've enjoyed the multiplayer and open-world shenanigans of Mario Kart World recently, it has been a port of a 32-year-old arcade racer that's proven to be our biggest time sink on Nintendo's new console, not Nintendo's own launch game. So why have we been spending so much time constantly replaying the lone track that Ridge Racer offers. It's simple, Namco created one of the best racing games of all time when Ridge Racer made its debut in Japanese arcades and Hamster has not only captured the original game's essence, but also added numerous improvements to make it the definitive version of the arcade classic.
