I played it when I was in Tokyo. It's an incredibly addictive game. The physics take some getting used to and timing the drifts takes awhile, but once you figure things out, it's one of those games that you'd spend $8000 in quarters on...so might as well buy the machine hehe. The graphics are amazing and the the soundtrack is straight from the tv series.

I NEED ONE SOMEONE GOT 8G's I can borrow

I have a friend who's addicted to that game. I tried it a couple times... it was really fun, but I wasn't really used to the physics since I spent winter break finishing off arcade mode and some professional league in gt3. :P My friend is actually getting a job at the arcade just so he can play the game for free. It's $1 a pop so when he plays a couple time a day it really makes it worth it

I have played the Initial D game at Potomac Mills Mall in Woodbrdge, VA.....i tried it when my cuz was shopping...i was bored walked into the arcade and saw it....

I was like holy crap..initial D.... That game is cool.......if u get a chance play it...it was the best 50cents i have ever spent. I wish i had more quarters

Post by **TrueSlide** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 12:08 pm

Ya no joke, it looks cool as ****!!! I didn't have any $$ to play though. Is that game coming out for ps2?? I was given a link to it for PS2, I guess jap only, any of you know if it will hit the american market?

Post by **issanni** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 12:08 pm

It probably won't be seen in the US for PS2. It's hard enough trying to find the DVDs..which can usually only be found on Ebay or through specialty stores. Your best bet would be to buy the japanese version and a mod chip for the ps2 and play it that way.

God i miss arcades... Vermont has none. I went to Tokyo a couple years ago and went to the Sega arcade. Freakin 5 stories of arcade goodness. I came close to seizure...5 times. At a different arcade i got to play this driving sim that had an actual car body. It was funny cause when i thought i was done i got out of the car and the screen started going nuts and the lady got all mad cause i wasnt supposed to open the door while it was still moving... ah good times.

I just pickedup a copy of Tokyo Highway Battle for PS. Old game, great drifting fun. Got it used for $5, for those of you that cant afford the 8k =)

Post by **nimso013** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 12:08 pm

you can get it for your ps or maybe ps2 I cant remember, but you need a mod chip done so you can play backups and/or games from other countries.. I've seen them for sale on ebay.

I had a chance to play Ver.2 when I was in Hong Kong last month. Excellent games. One high point of the ver.2 is the addition of rain weather. Keke I have a fully upgraded FD3S and Suzuki Cuppuccino.

so how many cars does it have?that magnetic memory card sounds cool(lets you build,color and race your own car):ylsuper

Post by **wokuku** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 12:08 pm

The only down side on the magnetic memory card is that you have a 50 save limit. After that you have to either purchase another card and trasfer the data to that new card or you lose ur current data.

Post by **Stee Flo** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 12:08 pm

Yeah i just played it a couple days ago. Sweet game. I purchased one of the initial D cards to save my game data. The car i chose was of course..a 180sx type X.

Post by **crypt2k** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 12:08 pm

where can i get one of them cards?

Post by **Rockenreno** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 12:08 pm

it gives you the option to insert more money and buy a card when you start up the game at the arcade...

Post by **GatorS14** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 12:08 pm

thats where that nasa technology goes.

Does anybody know if there is one of these games in n ew jersey? i recently became a video game junkie again...haha

Post by **crypt2k** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 12:08 pm

i've been looking.... so far no..

Post by **IvanS13** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 12:08 pm

Game looks sooo good.... o well, I'd rather drop 8G's on a nice motor and do my own InitialD'ing. Heheh.

Post by **BB Turbo** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 12:08 pm

Im just gonna wait for Auto Modellista, but for now the only drifting i have been doing lately is in GT3 with my Silvia Spec R and R34. Haha

Post by **Rockenreno** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 12:08 pm

drifting is tough in GT3... at least long, showy drifting is... It's odd that I actually drift best in the stock NSX in arcade.*shrug*

Post by **lessthanjakejohn** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 12:08 pm

I just watched Initial D for the first time. THat show is sweet.Has anyone emulated Initial D arcade for Windows?

Post by **BB Turbo** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 12:08 pm

Since you dont know how to drift in GT3, which I didnt at one point, I found this, so i guess this could help anybody out. Gives you the setup on drifting in the game.

Post by **BB Turbo** » Thu Jan 16, 2003 12:08 pm

Drifting FAQ

My friend and I tried using that guide, and found that most of the cars were just absurdly hard to use. I mean I would be going 20 and spin out when i tapped a turn button... Simulation tires definately helped, but I couldn't control the vehicles, it always felt like driving on ice... I am 70% through the game using my current driving methods, so I think I'm doing ok. If only I had the time or energy to do the endurance races. Professional ones are long enough! 10-15 laps... ugh...
