San Jose, CA (October 7, 2004) - Namco announced today that it is
supporting the launch of the Nintendo DS with two titles, Mr. DRILLER Drill
Spirits and Ridge Racer DS.
“The launch of the Nintendo DS marks an exciting time for the video game

proud to bring two of its popular franchises to a system that will allow gamers
to play these games in a truly unique way.”
From Namco:
Mr. DRILLER Drill Spirits offers the ultimate in drilling action, where
players utilize the stylus and innovative dual-screen interface to avoid falling
blocks and scramble for air capsules, in order to rescue their fellow Drillers,
or collect power capsules to destroy the menacing Destroyer Drill! Players can
play anytime, anywhere with various quick play modes or battle head-to-head with
up to four other players through the Nintendo DS wireless capabilities.
From the arcade racing series gamers know and love, Ridge Racer DS delivers a
whole new experience to racing fans by offering true analog steering through the
Nintendo DS touch screen, up to six-player multiplayer races, a variety of
exciting single-player racing modes and much more. Ridge Racer DS offers all the
fast-paced action gamers have come to expect from the Ridge Racer name --- now
in the palm of their hands on the Nintendo DS.
Mr. DRILLER Drill Spirits and Ridge Racer DS will be available this winter
exclusively on the Nintendo DS. For more information, please visit:
