San Jose, CA (November 30, 2004) - Namco announced today that Mr.
Driller Drill Spirits has begun shipping to retail outlets nationwide for the
Nintendo DS. Namco also announced that Ridge Racer DS will begin shipping the
first week of December 2004.
From Namco:
Taking advantage of the technology the new platform has to offer, both titles
utilize dual-screen support and wireless connectivity to the fullest – providing
players with the ultimate Nintendo DS gaming experience.
“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.

DS. For more information, please visit:
