That Time Ridge Racer Got Its Own Super Weird Controller

There have been some weird controllers made for video games over the years. Namco’s NeGcon was one of the strangest, but it was awesome.

Zjet2920d ago

Still own two of these bad boys, it worked really well with Wipeout and Ace Combat 2 as well

TWB2920d ago

I think I have seen one in my local retro game store. Just sitting there in a transparent plastic box with other obscure controllers.

Too bad I probably dont have any compatible games, it looks funny.

I agree absolutely with Ridge Racer, but would prefer what Namco did with Ridge Racers on the PSP. Basically pull Ridge Racer 1-5 together, make it all about drifting and create new tracks with the same oldskool Arcade Feel. Wipeout however? Redout and Ballistic NG replaced it for me. I miss Rock N Roll Racing in this list

RR 6 & 7 were both good on the 7th gen but it is surprising there wasnt an 8th gen RR8. Ace Combat got a release on 8th gen but not RR of all things (unless you count the stripped down vita version).

I'd love to see the return of PGR and Tokyo Extreme Racer.

Terry_B1164d ago

Yeah..PGR was awesome...RIP Bizarre Creations

CYALTR1164d ago

I would love to see Rockstar put another Midnight Club out. I remember that game fondly, the customization was top notch at the time. It had a nice arcady feel to the driving, but looking at the cars was the main point.

Wreckfest is solid and a good alternative to Destruction Derby.

Gardenia1164d ago

It's a good game, but nothing like Destruction Derby.

Give me every Ace Combat from 1 to 5 and any Ridge Racer will do. Flight Combat is my favorite genre, Ill take everything you can give me.

Abriael2934d ago (Edited 2934d ago )

I'd be happy with Ace 5 and RR T4 :D

And an Ace 3 actually localized without removing the whole story.

bouzebbal2934d ago

Ace combat everyone than 6.
RR type 4 was amazing.. One of my best memories

DevilOgreFish2934d ago

Ridge Racer 4 all the way.

Aenea2934d ago

I totally agree! Love flight games and racing games, whenever I bought a new PlayStation a Ridge Racer was always that I got with it, was kinda bummed there was (and still is) none for the PS4

CrazedFiend2934d ago (Edited 2934d ago )

Adventure and maybe even FPS games makes sense but Why do THESE games need remakes?

DafunkyRebel2934d ago

Ace Combat 5 was the best and most memorable hands down

4, 4, 4, 4. Ace Combat Four.

FITgamer2934d ago

Yeah boy. I spent so many hours on that game. One of my favorite PS2 games.

nix2934d ago

I played one where the wingman becomes the main villian. Can't remember which one it is.

Sharingan_no_Kakashi2934d ago

4 was the first one I played and it was really good. But I like 5 the best. Being able to control your comrades was great and the story was just slightly better. Though no one is more legendary than Mobius 1.

Bennibop2934d ago

Ridge racer 4 would be amazing!

ritchi452934d ago

AC4 was my first experience not only of the series, but also my first PS2 game. Remember hammering it for hours at Xmas when I got it.
Would love to see it brought back :)
