It appears the recently unearthed <em>Ridge Racer: Accelerated</em> <a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/11/17/ridge-racer-accelerated-trademark-filed/">trademark</a> pointed to an iPhone entry in the long-running racing series. The title is now available on the App Store (try <a href="http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/ridge-racer-accelerated/id340125639?mt=8">iTunes</a> if you're not finding it through your phone yet) for $2.99. <br />
<br />
The initial reviews state that the game comes with two tracks and three cars, but observe a few instances of crashing (as in the game, not the cars). If you've taken a chance on <em>Ridge Racer: Accelerated</em>, why not share your impressions with other readers in the comments?<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/12/16/ridge-racer-accelerated-comes-to-iphone/">Ridge Racer: Accelerated comes to iPhone</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Wed, 16 Dec 2009 09:30:00 EST.

You weren't there, man! You don't know what it was like. Pity is not an emotion one should ever feel for a man whose salary dwarfs the combined income of your entire staff, but there we were, dying inside for <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eaBUeINW_3s">Kaz Hirai presenting <em>Ridge Racer</em> at E3 2006</a>. The mere memory of that still causes those who were in the audience to sympathize for the executive, the way one would for a dog unable to use its hind legs and instead relying on a wheelie contraption.<br />
<br />
With all that said, <a href="http://www.siliconera.com/2009/11/16/its-ridge-racer-accelerated/">Siliconera</a> has found a Namco Bandai trademark application for <em>Ridge Racer Accelerated</em>. We don't know if enough time has gone by for us not to desperately exclaim "<em>Riiiiidge Racer</em>!" every time we hear the title, but perhaps enough time has gone by for the corporations to <em>think</em> we won't.<p style="padding:5px;background:#ffffcc;border:1px solid #ffff99;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.joystiq.com"><img src="http://www.joystiq.com/media/feedlogo.gif" alt="Joystiq" style="float:left;padding:0 5px 5px 0;" /></a><a href="http://www.joystiq.com/2009/11/17/ridge-racer-accelerated-trademark-filed/">'Ridge Racer Accelerated' trademark filed</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.joystiq.com">Joystiq</a> on Tue, 17 Nov 2009 19:45:00 EST.
