Description
Diddy Kong Racing - Wata 9.2 A+ Sealed, N64 Rare 1997 USA. This is a nicely preserved copy of Diddy Kong Racing, a game published and developed by fan-favorite Rare. The box has mild corner wear and a light one-inch crease on the bottom front near the middle, but these small imperfections barely affect display quality. The game took players on a thrilling adventure across Timber's Island, where Diddy Kong and his friends raced to defeat the intergalactic villain, Wizpig, using cars, hovercrafts, or airplanes. Originally conceived as a real-time strategy game called "Wild Cartoon Kingdom," the project evolved into "Pro-Am 64" before delays in Banjo-Kazooie led Rare to refocus on Diddy Kong Racing to boost the game's appeal ahead of its 1997 Christmas release. It received critical acclaim for its graphics, audio, and gameplay, selling 4.8 million copies and becoming the Nintendo 64's eighth best-selling game. While a sequel, Donkey Kong Racing, was planned for the GameCube, it was ultimately canceled. An enhanced remake, Diddy Kong Racing DS, was released in early 2007.View the certification for Wata Certification ID 578593-001, including grader's notes if available.
