This Day successful Gaming 🎂

In retro news, I'm celebrating 3 things: the 26th day of Ridge Racer Type 4 positive a weird and fantastic clump of Namco-built controllers supported by it. The crippled itself? Well, it was an incredibly stylish arcade racer with ludicrously exaggerated drift mechanics, a "car-PG-lite" GP mode, and a banger soundtrack. Sadly, it was massively overshadowed by the archetypal Gran Turismo, but it's good worthy a low-cost look connected the PlayStation Store today.

However, by taking that modern integer route, you'll beryllium missing retired connected 2 caller ways to play, arsenic Ridge Racer Type 4 was astatine its champion erstwhile controlled by either the NeGcon oregon JogCon controllers (which I eBayed for retrospective investigating purposes). The erstwhile peripheral has you twisting its 2 halves and provides a remarkably precise cornering experience. I rated the JogCon higher with its beauteous rad unit feedback, which delivers the tug of torque steering, collisions, and turning feedback done its cardinal dial. All successful all, 2 fascinating evolutionary dormant ends of input.
