Initial D on arcade

Hey well just wanted to know if everyone is aware of the fact that initial d is an arcade game, maybe greg and john know because they have the arcade at pier39 i think or one of the thirites piers, but anyway they also have it at Boomers (miniature golf/go carts/arcade place) in modesto its bad as hell. So for 5 coins you can purchase a save card so everytime you go play it you can start off where you last saved on your memory card, is that not totally awesome or what!?!?!?!? so it also prints on your card your save name (mine is PEZ thats my game name for any game) and the car you are playing with. it is just like the series with the same people with their same cars that you race and the same mountain passes, so keep a lookout for the game at your local arcade :wink: heres a pic of the memory card thingy

wow..thats hella cool, we dont have any cool stuff up here in AK...I am gonna find that game when I come home at x-mas...looks great

Heh, thats been out for awhile. Pier has Version 1 still (orange card) Theres a bunch of golflands that have it but are ver2 (blue card). Ver2 has a few more tracks and a couple more cars. I was kinda itno it when i first played but never had much time to. My friends played it all the time though..but not much recently.

I just found it here in Tulsa, we have ver. 2. But one of the steering wheels is already broke, doesn't have any feed back on it, and its a bitch to find center. Right now Im just on Shingo, which I have to remember the trick to beating him since I haven't watched the series in a long time. lol

Can anybody fill me in on whats so tight about this game?....Im not hatin or nuthin, I havnt been to an arcade in a long ass time and I went to one just recently and seen this game (Ver.2). I was excited till I seen how much the card was, it didnt grab me at first. I'm a die hard GT2 fan of the PS1, I base all car games off of that game. Dont get me wrong, I seen some excitement in the game, just nothing that was out the norm. Can sumone fill me in?

how much does the card cost?

Daymn. It was only 4 extra tokens where I play. and why are you typing in caps?

My friend lent me his Modded PS2 and he has Initial D: Special Stage which is the arcade game for PS2. It's a blast and just like the arcade, except no wheel and shifter, but i'm sure you can hook one up just by buying one. We also have the arcade game near me and i've got I think 5 cards, 2 newer ones and 3 from the version 1.

I wasnt saying you couldnt, i was just asking why you were, didnt know if you had a reason or just didnt notice capslock was on. Most people takes all caps as yelling online.

5 tokens where i play, thats a measly 1.25, anyways whats so tight about it, its just like the series, so if you dont love the series then whatever, its tight because its exactly like it, even the courses. any game that you can drift in is hella fun and not ps2 and all that because you cant actually use the pedals the shifter and the wheel with home games, i thought it wouldnt be that hard to drift, ya right so hard to do it good, my boyfriend plays battlegear everyday on his break from work and i went with him one time and hes been playing for so long and he can drift mad good, but anyways

Damn...I didnt even look at your name...didnt even know you was a female....but yea..I look at the game but I dont play it..like I said...its too expensive where I'm at so I'd just rather play gt2 on the ps1...thats my baby......but I can feel you tho

Why don't you play GT3? its a lot better than 2, but both are good games.

On the ID Arcade game, it is alot easier for me to drift on it than it is GT3, but that is mainly because i have the pedals and wheel right there, and able to use my left foot brakeing to break the back of the car loose.

If your askin me that question....I like gt2 better because the way the game feels is way better than any other car game today that I've played.....although gt3s graphics shit on gt2 anyday

well see, you are half way correct, but its also personal taste. Throughout the history of Gran Turismo, each time they make a new one, the realism, not only graphics but also the physics, becomes even better. They are actually working on making it so it is completely realistic. Some real drivers already use GT to learn tracks, but even on GT3, its not the same. GT4 is supposed to make it so you can go from the game to the real thing and not tell a difference.

But like I said, its also personal taste. I like 3, mainly for the graphics, and the analog buttons help out a lot. The only thing I do not like about 3 is the lack of old school cars, but thank god they are bringing that back in 4.

@Tony....Its wierd to me though....gt3 feels less responsive as gt2...but yea, when is part 4 commin out?.....That may possibly be the next love of my life right there.

Battle Gear 2 is DOPE!mo betta than Initial D if u play 4 drifting.I'm in japan on a airforce base and when we go off base initial D is 100yen which is about $1. and to get a card it is 200yen=about$2!Last week i got beat by sum little japanese kid!he wuz mad good! Does any1 use an Altezza(Lexus IS300). My friend plays with the Altezza. He beat an Integra on fire with his Altezza stock!I use a 180 cus those are my favorite cars. Sivia S13s look nice with a body kit on that game.I have to admit. I loose an awful lot. but not cus i suck cus i can beat almost every american person on Initial D over here. but those japanese peoplez no how to play.
