Ridge Racer 64 is a 2000 racing video game developed by Nintendo Software Technology and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo 64. It is the first title of Namco's Ridge Racer series to not be on arcades or a PlayStation console, with Namco licensing the series to Nintendo to develop the game. In 2004, the game was remade for the Nintendo DS as Ridge Racer DS, which uses the system's features such as the touch-screen and wireless multi-player. Additionally, Gina Cavalli from R: Racing Evolution replaced Reiko Nagase as the mascot in the DS version. The N64 version received its first official re-release on the Nintendo Classics service on January 31, 2025; followed by a Japanese release in May 16, 2025.
