VAPS Arcade Census

Scarce - There are 5 known instances of Ridge Racer V: Arcade Battle owned by one of our 3,650 members who participate in our machine census project. Of these, 3 of them are original dedicated machines, and 2 of them are only circuit boards which a collector could put into a generic case if desired.

Of the 59,771 machines (3,517 unique) tracked by the Video Game Preservation Society, this game ranks a 1 on a scale out of 100 (100 = most commonly seen, 1=least common) in popularity based on ownership records.

Wanted - There is one VAPS member currently looking for Ridge Racer V: Arcade Battle.

For Sale - There is one VAPS member with a Ridge Racer V: Arcade Battle machine for sale. VAPS members are totally independent of VAPS and the International Arcade Museum, and we are unable to recommend, endorce, or guarantee any person or company selling games or game parts.

Rarity is NOT necessarily an indication of value. Some common games show up as very rare here because collectors don't want them (they are common because arcade operators might be sitting on tons of them in warehouses), while some fairly scarce games are grabbed by collectors every time they show up. Additionally, some games made in the last 5 years are still making money for operators and are thus not yet affordable to the typical collector. For a clue to value, compare how many people have this game vs. how many people want this game and then click on the eBay links to help determine an accurate price range.

Technical

This game uses the Namco System 246 unit, which is based on the Sony PlayStation 2.

Trivia

This is the first time that a Ridge Racer game appeared in the arcades since Rave Racer. Most titles in the series up until now appeared on the original Sony PlayStation, with one appearing on the Nintendo 64 under the guise of "Ridge Racer 64."
