A Full Tank of Gas, Half a Pack of Cigarettes, and a Nintendo DS Stylus
A Full Tank of Gas, Half a Pack of Cigarettes, and a Nintendo DS Stylus-April 2024
Apr 21, 2025 12:05 AM

  If you've read our updated impressions of Ridge Racer DS, you know the game's steering mechanic utilizes the stylus included with the Nintendo DS. By using the stylus on the touchscreen, you can turn the steering wheel and thus control the direction of the car on the upper screen. While I haven't had hands-on time with the newest Ridge Racer game, it seems like this might be an extremely awkward way to drive, especially after years of using either the d-pad or analog controls to steer videogame racers. Thankfully, you will have the option to use a more traditional steering input if you so choose.

  So what do you think of Ridge Racer DS and it's new steering feature? Could this be the start of something innovative for handheld racing games, or is it merely a gimmick designed to show off Nintendo's newest baby?
