If my most anticipated hand-held of all time is doomed to fail because of the likes Ridge Racer, i will seriously drop a bomb to Scamco's headquarters and end this curse once and for all!

Didn't the original DS launch with Ridge Racer?

Indeed it did. And with no Tekken game to counter it. Now we just need to work out what saved that system from the Ridge Racer curse and see if the 3DS has anything comparable to cure its d0medness.

Ridge Racer DS wasn't released at all in Japan and it wasn't a launch title in Europe, so that only leaves America. This means that RR DS doesn't completely fit the criteria laid out in the original post, but it's worth noting that the DS took a long time to take off in America, much longer than in any other region.

This is scary.

What ultimately saved the DS is that the PSP suffered from the Ridge Racer curse as well (in all regions, not just America).


I can't argue with that logic!

It makes perfect sense.

I'm surprised the Kaz - Riiiiiiidge Racer! video hasn't popped up yet. ;-p

lol, I don't think I've seen such an "non-one-sided" poll result before - it looks so scrambled up :p

And @ the OP question: YES WE CAN

I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
