Real Racing Roots '99 Ridge Racer Type 4

Appearing to be taken from a movie scene, sprint through various backdrops, using all kinds of cars. Since it's unveiling, we've been flooded with inquires asking if such beautiful graphics were really being generated on a home console. Through the artificially lit and constructed world, we've produced a more realistic virtual space. As the driver, the sense of immersion may have you feeling as if you're performing in a movie scene. The winner is the one who keeps their cool as they experience the exhilarating high speed controls, while striving for victory until reaching the goal.


Gran Prix Mode.

RRR '99. Official Name: REAL RACING ROOTS. Every two years, two countries across the globe are selected to host the Gran Prix. You are a hired racer who's signed with a team. Together with the flamboyant owner and your managers, go and pull off a win through 8 battles.


VS BATTLE MODE

Using split screens, two players can simultaneously battle! What's more, you can also take on the Gran Prix, work on your car in the garage, and use your original car for races that make the vs. battle mode...even more heated!! Just how far can you go...while keeping your cool!?
