Title screen for Rev Limit.

Status: Unreleased


Rev Limit was an unreleased racing video game that was developed by SETA Corporation, a game developer that closed its doors in 2008.

Despite being one of the most hyped racing titles for the N64, it was delayed many times and was ultimately cancelled. There seems to have a playable version of the game on the Aleck64 arcade board, also by SETA.[1]

In 2016, japanese youtuber コアラ's GAME SHOW acquired a cartridge with a playable prototype of the game, to which he shared gameplay footage of on this video.


Gameplay

The game bears a lot of resemblance with the earliest installments of the Ridge Racer franchise. It featured a wide selection of cars, which are divided into 5 classes. The selectable courses may have variable weather conditions.

Trivia

  • The game's cars are directly based on real car models, however they are referred to by their chassis codes instead of their actual names (probably due to licensing issues). Some of them have liveries which are also inspired by their real life racing counterparts.
