Industrious Japanese emulation house Hamster is bringing a new line of its Arcade Archives catalogue to the Nintendo Switch 2, starting with Namco’s 1993 classic Ridge Racer.

But the iconic System 22 outing will not be playable on the PS5, at least not initially, as the dev’s only announced support for Nintendo’s new machine thus far.

Ridge Racer and PlayStation are obviously intrinsically linked, as the original game was ported to the PS1 early on and instantly became a showcase for the power of Sony’s new console. While this is the arcade version, we’d like to see it on PS5 eventually.

The press release mentions that the new series of Arcade Archives titles will feature Time Attack modes and various other improvements, including multiple save states and VRR support.

We’ll contact Hamster and try to find out if there are any plans to bring this game to the PS Store.

In the meantime, you can play the PSP version of Ridge Racer 2 and the PS1 classic Ridge Racer Type 4 on both the PS5 and PS4 via PS Plus Premium emulation.
