“The unique attributes of the Nintendo DS platform have allowed our designers to be truly innovative in developing these two launch titles,” said Nobuhiro Kasahara, president and chief executive officer of Namco Hometek Inc. “We’re thrilled to be able to offer Mr. DRILLER and Ridge Racer fans a completely new and exciting way to experience their favorite games.”
Mr. DRILLER Drill Spirits allows players to utilize the innovative dual-screen interface and the new stylus for the ultimate in drilling action. Players are challenged to either rescue their fellow Drillers or collect power capsules to destroy the menacing Destroyer Drill. Supporting up to five players via Nintendo DS wireless capabilities, Mr. DRILLER Drill Spirits offers players various quick play modes and head-to-head races anytime and anywhere.
Ridge Racer DS, the popular arcade racing series, provides racing fans with all the tire-screechin’ fast-paced action they can handle -- all in the palm of their hands on the Nintendo DS. By offering true analog steering through the Nintendo DS touch screen, players can experience a variety of single-player racing modes, multiplayer races supporting up to six players and much more.
Mr. DRILLER Drill Spirits is available now in North American retail outlets and Ridge Racer DS will be available in December 2004 exclusively on the Nintendo DS.
