Genre: Racing Arcade
Ridge Racer V: Arcade Battle is a racing arcade game developed by Namco and released in 2000. It runs on Namco's System 246 hardware and is the ninth installment in the Ridge Racer series. The game is inspired by Ridge Racer V for the Sony PlayStation 2, which was released earlier the same year. In this version, two players can race head-to-head, a reduction from the eight-player support found in Ridge Racer 2 and Rave Racer. Players can choose from six new cars and race on one of five new tracks: "Park Town," "Outer Pass," "Above the City," "Bayside Line," and "Sunny Beach." The "Sunny Beach" track is a shorter version of the original Ridge Racer track, featuring updated graphics. To activate "Time Trial" mode, players must hold down the "View Change Button" (introduced in Rave Racer) after inserting a coin and keep it pressed until they have selected their car. Once activated, "T.T" will appear on the track selection screen. Ridge Racer V: Arcade Battle marks the final arcade release in the Ridge Racer series.
