Moreover, Arcade Archives 2 Ridge Racer includes a Time Attack Mode, multiple save slots, a new rewind feature, a quick start feature, and variable refresh rate (VRR) support on Nintendo Switch 2.
Before playing the remastered Ridge Racer game, Nintendo fans may try out Ridge Racer 64 on the Nintendo Switch via the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service.
