Speed Racer: The Video Game (NDS) Test

Just testing the DeSmuME out...
I got word that this game was actually good, so I decided to give it a try. For whatever reason I was expecting a crappy racing game, but I have to admit that it is pretty good -- it has a good arcade-style feel, and it has a superb frame rate for an NDS game. This was the first time I played the game, so this is simply a test run.
I might upload more videos testing the DeSmuME...just for the hell of it.
EDIT: I guess the encoding didn't went as planned... Oh well... shrugs

very good graphics for the ds

[@RolandTemplar]

if u press the A button at the end of number 2, u gain a perfect starting boost

[@ThePressStartProject]

But the game is quite fun, regardless. There's a Ridge Racer DS, though. I'm sure you aware of it, though.

[@helpmeimconfused]

i like this game but in my opinion, the spins and jumps looks rough not like in the wii one. the one on the wii looks smooth just going with the flow

[@ThePressStartProject]

I didn't follow the E3 this year, so that's certainly nice. Looking forward to it, too.

[@maximemariani4267]

what is the name of the song at the character selection plz :) ?

[@ThePressStartProject]

Thanks. It certainly is an enjoyable game.

@LunaOrlok Unfortunately, the Wii version of Speed Racer got some pretty bad ratings from many review sites, but I loved it. A bit too easy though. The Nintendo DS version (show here) actually scored pretty close to 80% on Game Rankings, while the Wii version got a 68%, which is probably because the Wii version forces you to use the Wii Remote (Wii Wheel optional), with no Classic Controller support. You have to shake the Wii Remote/Wii Wheel to use Jump Jacks, which is annoying.

What keyboard do you use when, in battle , you appears with the letter "y"

@ThePressStartProject I know there is, but it is a remake of the nintendo 64 version. thank you for searching. ridge racer ds cn turn into first person, but I have ridge racer 64 (the original), ridge racer 2 for my psp and ridge racer 6 for the xbox360. as you can see, there is not any ridge racer I am not aware of

[@ThePressStartProject]

That's part of the game.

[@221mileyrocks]

awsome

[@ThePressStartProject]

Quite frankly, I didn't delve deeper in the game, as far as the NDS ver. that is, but I would say, though, that the PS2 ver. is quite good, and the AI you could say is not that shabby--the races are quite high-octane. As far as "boring and repetitive", well, that aspect to me has always been subjective, so you'd have to play it to be the judge.

@ThePressStartProject yea man u da bomb!

[@ThePressStartProject]

I'm a fan of F-ZERO, but can honestly live without, but as far as Star Fox goes, I was honestly waiting for a Wii release. I mean, it seemed like a great idea. But oh well, Nintendo being Nintendo I guess... At least they released Kirby, another Galaxy, Other M, and will be releasing Skyward Sword soon; and at least there are some other cool games. As for this game, owning the PS2 ver. I can honestly recommend it. It is everything the NDS ver. is, but tenfold better. Try it out!

[@TheBaoGly]

u guys know what i hate about the car fu version? it doesn't show u where ur going so it messes up ur gameplay

[@csmapper58]

@ThePressStartProject damn... why couldn it be like ridge racer ??? anyway, my ds broke now so I don't feel really bad about the game

[@Angelzvx]

[@TheBaoGly]

[@TheBaoGly]

[@csmapper58]

[@ThePressStartProject]
