I Explored 10 Japanese Racing Games Nobody Has Played In Years

all right so I thought today just for fun we're going to check out 10 random racing games from Japan for the PlayStation 1 this is actually something that I planned two years ago when I remember that this is something that I wanted to do and I looked at uh the games that I got I literally got those games to this day two years ago so on the 22nd of December 2021 which is literally the same day yesterday I was like damn that's so fitting now I should do this today so yeah we're doing it today so I the good thing is since it's been like two years since I checked these games out I have no idea what these games are anymore like I'm going into these like 100,000% blind I don't know what I got here all right so this is all this is all new for me and you too I I assume if you guys are intoed we can maybe do the same thing in uh Playstation 2 or maybe even Dreamcast or whatever whatever consoles there are we can do these for other consoles too so I assume some of these are going to be in Japanese too I did hear me out I actually did start learning Japanese two months ago and I can read the kaor it doesn't mean I understand everything but I should at least get like some idea of what I'd be looking at here so that's that's a big positive so here's the thing about Japanese games right um the menu navigation Works different differently on Japanese games so what we're used to is that the a button or the x button on on or cross button on on Playstation is confirm and this button is usually back or cancel that's actually fli flipped around for Japanese games just FY that's something I'll have to get used to today okay normal oh I guess that's the difficulty I saw with normal why not SE test we can listen to 19 sound [Music] effects they're really quiet mode menu dead he Road sure whatever that is well we'll go for it that's literally the name of the game has to be like the main thing name entry there we go fi select west east or question mark okay we can't select question mark let's just go with West I guess oh bro oh that's RX s oh my God that's supposed to be an RX7 oh my god I didn't even from oh my God okay oh we can we can select okay that's that's um Skyline super all these car models dude I am never ever complaining about Forza comos again looking at this oh my God okay what am I starting with let's just go with the U RX7 okay I have no idea what this is we're just picking oh that's actually our crew logo I see I see we're basically picking delivery here uh let's go with the hot hot Vapes here hell yeah man race three two one go oh wait that's a that's the loading I was like that no way this is the game this is the loading screen they have like a loading mini game here oh God oh God oh God why is it so fast 3 2 1 go why is it so fast holy crap is it supposed to be this fast I think I think something about the uh emulator setting might be different holy crap but maybe this is how it's supposed to be I don't know I've never played these it looks met up dude there's no way left time is counting fast it should oh yeah you're right it is it is running at Double speed why is it running at Double speed if I just set this to 50% does that just work or maybe because it's supposed to run at 30 okay now we got regular speed but the music is slowed down yeah probably because of the overclocking you're right that that was my idea too oh yeah no no none of this here okay this should be fixed now hey there we go there we go okay now we're gaming oh my God okay this feels a lot better but the time of day did just changed did you notice that Dynamic time of day I'll be damned yeah yeah wait fourth I guess I got leapt great leaped and GED okay let's try not to [ __ ] it up this time these these C models are premium dude so let's not try not to lose again this time it's probably because the game was sped up and I was just crashing all over the place is that a butt dude what the [ __ ] was that Ed just a straight up butt shot did you see that what are these EDS what what what is that a but dude what the [ __ ] is that a butt I said what what is that a but dude what the [ __ ] is that a butt it's just like loot photos in the background they they look so much higher quality than the rest what is this nonsense that's like the highest Dr texture in the entire damn game look look how high rest that is compared to the rest [Music] that's that's where all the [ __ ] memory goes dude Jesus Christ let's go we're in P3 we're not really making a whole lot of progress here there we go okay I don't think we can get into P1 there the that's the guy right there I don't know how to do these cels I think I actually have to properly break here actually hold on no he's really slow right now ah [ __ ] I [ __ ] it come on come on come on come on no okay nice nice reaction in yeah yeah go did I just is this come on are We restarting the race or is this the next one I don't know [ __ ] it okay I found the horn that does not sound like a horn that sounds more like a [Music] [Applause] train out of my way final La only have to pass one more driver and then we're in P1 again let's try to create a bit of a win streak here all right there we go hey first there we go listen to these midi soundtracks man nothing but the finest midi Tunes I'm I'm pressing next race aren't I we just doing the same race over and over again is this all this is let's go let's go yeah okay I should try to pay attention now cuz I think we just we may have just restarted the same race four times but now I I pressed next race but next race is just the same race there's only one race in this how how much what can am I supposed to do this dude yeah there's East but trust me it's literally the same track again but in Reverse this is like the fifth time we're doing this now right this just highway racing Purgatory yes I think that's what the that's what the game would have been called if it wasn't if it came to the West I mean to be honest it's a pretty R name for racing game what what just happened what the [ __ ] oh my God all right yeah yeah all right go on something happen please come on something just ask me to go to the next race but the next race it's just the same damn race again this is actually all there is a review says he do this about 10 times and then main menu again I'm not doing this 10 times I highly doubt anything's going to happen after the 10th time this is this is just bait that is 100% just bait okay I mean we still have some other stuff here like time okay it just shows me my times okay interesting uh map oh wait that's me that's me the 16% that's the that's the gang I chose or like the the symbol that I chose what is happening here what is this Need for Speed Carbon [ __ ] so I guess you really do do this over and over and over again until something happens that is ridiculous at least I have this cool loading screen here that's intractable you know covering loading screens with minii games would actually be a lot more common but who was it like I think Bandai NCO just patented mini games during loading screen so nobody else was allowed to do it oh boy that's actually all there is exit and I guess if you do this often enough you can check back with the map menu and you'll see that something changed I guess all right what a game what a game I mean hey at least we're not setting the quality bar that high because that would be kind of disappointing so yeah my favorite thing about this game definitely the um Billboards all over the place without without question all right next one game number two gy they made the to extreme racer games what okay well there there's a familiar face oh dude look at that actual FMV intro man holy crap I must eat up like half the CD I mean we're basically just looking at a gif so that's that's red I know this track yep indeed it's my favorite one surprised how long this is I thought this was just going to be like a 20 second cut scene like this [ __ ] is eating up space on the disc there's not going to be much left for the rest of the game I can tell you that much guys this is nice I like the I like the crustiness I like all the compr artifacts like it adds a lot of [Music] charm well these yakas are T people [Music] man okay I got to say that went way harder than it had any right to seriously so this is um I can't quite read that yet scenario okay I guess Mr Mr Man is trying to yeah okay okay yes get me out of here damn it yes get me out of here I already saved the damn game why do you want me to save the damn game so let yeah I did all right there we go [ __ ] hey there we go carate okay looks like we're starting with the Miata unless we can maybe find a different one hey there there we go look at these coms okay they only look better than the last one now we can we can stick with the Miata for now I don't mind course select uhhuh does that kind of look like monco okay I guess we just go with this what is Bando oh I guess upgrading [Music] all the the font is so crusty it's actually kind of hard to read for me key assign ah look at that can do modern controls drift so I guess this is of a drifting game then let's see let's see how this [Music] plays God damn oh I sted what the hell okay the music is going really [Music] hard hey yo what is this soundtrack holy [ __ ] dude no J this is kind of nice I definitely need some finesse with the drifting okay I guess we have two round two laps here but we can't slow down too much because we have a timer taking down pretty much arcade star out running the opponent doesn't seem too difficult but I'm I'm really worried about the time dude it actually just got night this also has Dynamic time of day what the hell yeah the music is stealing the show really hard I got to say I can squeeze through all right nice I'm starting to get a grasp on the handling it's actually not too bad you need like one or two lefts to get used to the drifting oh boy you really can't overdo it honest to God this is not too bad I expected way worse the the handing on the previous game was way worse this is so much better already all right there's the Finish let's go this is nice no joke we look forward to playing more an okay don't know what that means this is the guy we just beat go went what was that all right let's try the A6 I guess can't change the color it seems but we can upgrade them midor okay there's no way I could figure out what that means so I guess we're just going to have to slap some stuff in here and hope it does something let's go with this expensive thing here he's saying no something something okay now they is probably saying I don't have the the points for this okay we just bought something nice and something else and something else and something else and something else okay got some engine upgrades let's go for another round so I think the MX5 just topped out at like 180 okay I'm not sure if the engine upgrades were actually equipped I think I might have just unequipped them I'm not entirely sure okay this one tops out at 182 but I really like that the time of day changes I think it does change when you're in the tunnel which is pretty clever right so we Sunset now we enter the tunnel it's not like a full tunnel so I guess so actually never mind does change look at that now it's getting darker slowly this is sick yeah the draw distance is really good too usually a lot of PlayStation One games have the issue that you couldn't really see far ahead it's also the reason why let's say for example Silent Hill uh uses a lot of fog that was actually not entirely a stylistic choice was more to height the fact that you know you can only see like a couple meters ahead before the the the ground just disappears I remember Driver 2 in particular was really bad or like the driver games both of them for the PlayStation one they had little to no draw distance finish all right nice okay different course so we clear that one we save these two all right let's go okay let's see is the car fast or not with these upgrades oh [ __ ] okay now I [ __ ] up really badly okay this this game has some gemas dude I got say performance wise I don't know this much of a difference then again I don't know what I bought so so there's that now we actually have a little bit of a battle on our hands here opponent is actually pretty fast oh dude definely want to drive that car next I that's a bit of a map points that there's only three drivable cars but then again maybe unlock other ones later on who knows but so far I've only seen three ah it's going to be tight oh [ __ ] oh not good yeah this track is definitely a lot more difficult than the previous one nice very efficient block I love the I love the banana on the truck did you see that all right come on let's not [ __ ] this up now ah [ __ ] no oh might be J If he if he pass me now then ah all right he's not ahead yet oh [ __ ] where did he come from man oh speed there [ __ ] okay we still got some points now he's you to tell me how much of a loser I am hey you suck go back to school get a real job you know what that other Asian guy said never give up so we're going to get a new car this one you give me some parts actually look at that that's a different car was that 180sx we got some sticker in the back now oh yeah the TIR is super chuny more width means more grip right also like how the license plate is just blank by the way instead of just removing it just make a blank that's one way to get away with it I hope we could maybe like remove the speed gap of 180 seems like we're kind of locked oh did you say rack nasty nasty AI okay I'm going to try to squeeze through here there we go all right I think we got this in the bag all GG finish manag to win this Su list [Music] whatever you just said oh K sush we do have new cars now look at that Mr S3 and this one but dude this was cool way better than the first game I might actually play this again I don't know who knows so let's move on to a game should at least recognize J J what an intro so this Initial D the initial D game on PlayStation one Hest say might as well be the first one I don't even [Music] know I love these old school openings [Music] man and got to say as someone who's watched the entirety of Initial D I think the first season is my favorite and it is partially because it was it's by far the oldest one like I liked all the Crusty 3D animations and the art style of the of the characters I think that one's still my favorite all right story can we maybe like repeat the story from the anime/manga this a really cool menu for like key config because it's like a 3D model of a Playstation One controller I don't know I find this kind of cool it's super unnecessary but I'm glad they did it oh my my God oh my God these character models oh no that was a mistake they should have just used SLS from the [ __ ] manga man oh my God that is cursed Jesus Christ that is Nightmare fuel oh no what the why why would you do that although I will say it's mainly ity who looks this bad Tak looks kind of fine and it's also like you know if they're not up close it's also okay because all the details it see like like the details just kind of like washed together so at that point it's kind of fine I guess it's 9:00 on a Saturday all right 9:00 p.m. on a Saturday it's nice that they have a story mode here though with cut scenes and everything this is really cool so I assume it just retells the story from the uh you know manga/anime it's not it own thing or some arcade BS this is honestly kind of cool if you were a fan of Initial D back in the day and this was all you got I don't think this this too bad guess they had no budget for voice acting though let SP all the budges on the PS1 controller model yeah basically all right there we go I guess we have I just pause oh God did that crash the emulator we should let's try again no I can't skip it but I can I can fast forward it thankfully ah okay there we go that seems to work so that's all right manual uh-oh that's going to be fun so let's see this place I am kind of worried 1 go oh God okay I have to steal with the d-pad okay that's hella awkward oh nice they actually implemented the chime from the car that's really cool to the gut Run come on okay the controls are very very slippery very slippery but I guess they made it that way so that drifting feels a little bit easier this makes precise steering really difficult though not sure if I can win this on the first try let's see okay I think I'm starting to get the hang of it you know I don't think you actually have to break like at all like you just stay where you want to go it's actually that simple I also don't think you need any pass gear two hey there we go someone managed to win don't even ask me how don't even know look at this magnificent driving what a replay I'm surprised game doesn't actually look too bad might honestly be the best looking game so far like if we're just talking Graphics y y y y just watch the anime if you want to get the story okay let's try automatic this time man was a bit much I thought maybe for drifting games it's usually a little bit more like drifting in general it's a little bit easier or a little bit I don't know more accessible if you do it in manual but I want to try automatic fonts I got say in terms of Graphics is actually really not too bad handling though I don't know I see what they wanted to do right they wanted to make drifting easy but I think as a result they also made fight steering extremely difficult oh God why did the car just steer all I would say that was at least a little bit faster than the previous than the previous run otherwise that would be kind of embarrassing yeah no you're a be so sad oh okay oh okay that's a different course okay I think I Whi the start Jesus get a move on yep it's definitely foggy oh man think you have to use the brakes a little more contrary to what I said earlier now this check is very iffy I find it really hard to just drive cleanly here often times I'm just hitting walls really badly which I mean if you want to CH it up to skill issues fair enough I feel like sometimes the car just doesn't really turn the way you wanted to right here like you have to turn into a different direction and transition into the opposite direction that takes too long oh [ __ ] that just takes way too long the inertia drift it's not really think you can do here properly but it's fine we win anyways what's this [ __ ] trumpet in the background do you hear that okay I think I'm doing a little bit better by now not hitting as many walls anymore but it's still kind of tricky to just get around the track and without touching any Walls Start this the s yes the [ __ ] trumpet man nice loading image I was actually kind of hoping we could maybe like exit and see what else the game is it's not letting me out of here but I mean let me try to retire is actually a cut scene for losing wait I turn of ending just dipped and I used toing thepress in the car nice okay free running practice what's the difference between these two D chick let's do a dick chick or not I mean free running is free running I guess do I don't have any other cars okay maybe I have to beat the story modes characters to get their cars what's the difference between free running and uh practice beginner intermediate expert oh okay what's this [Music] [Applause] we just got a for doing that sector okay this this like licenses I guess not really maybe rank e what did I do wrong maybe you're supposed to not hit any walls disappointed in you retry no I think I get the gist this one's fine this one's okay I think if you're a fan of the of the anime and you played this back back in the day is it's not too bad so let's move on to the next one M Ren greatest 70s okay whatever that is hey more real fmvs all right ah I see I see why the the game is called 70s I guess this is only carus from the 70s or up to 70s that's an interesting concept I wish more racing games would adopt this in just throwing a bunch of random ass cars into the game sticking with like a specific era I think it's really interesting look at old school TBA man one of all these cars are also in the game by the way it would be kind of funny if you see those in the intro cut scene and then they're not in the game there's like nobody in the audience completely empty Grand STS all right there you go CH from now on you call me Edna the second are your name okay yes my name are okay don't worry about it so what can we do here drive what car do I even have I even have one shop so we have what is that 660,000 tickets that's what we start with I guess we have to buy a car first okay we can start with what I think is Honda 800 is 800 yeah this this definitely means Honda yeah these are definitely more pricey we can only afford these two here I say let's go with this one s800 why not I like the yellow I like the stats by the way like the way the stats are shown is like on the on a gauge he car and nickname you can give your car a nickname what should we call this car GT car the Yugo oh dude yeah they add a pokes man from Sega GT this one's pokes the second car nickname okay yes okay we only have 2,000 tickers left what does this button do here oh okay you can upgrade it it seems I see I see the way the comos look they really remind me of driver okay no don't sell it before I accidentally sell the car let me just get out of here guess we're just going to have to get out here why is the why is the image Shake okay let's let's just run sukua this a track that I'm very familiar with so let's see how let's see how it looks might be actually the the first real track in any of these games oh [ __ ] there you go dude the game looks good who's this Blood nice computer you got here can I have it uh hi thank you very much I just said yes to something I don't know what oh boy let's go stop wh spinning oh boy okay I think we're dealing with like hyper arcade physics here man look at this super early rendition of the uh sucuba track man it's hard not to drift just kind of happens I'm not sure if I can catch up honestly okay the CIA have zero grip like actually none yeah zero grip am I supposed to catch up to this guy yeah I don't think there's any way you're supposed to win this race probably more of an introductory race [Music] your get tickets did you just read that your get tickets that changes my top speed top speed is fine we actually need like more grip and handling that's like really bad right [Music] now okay I just bought a bunch of stuff without knowing [ __ ] think we might have gotten more handling I don't know either way I'm broke we have to we have to race again let's try this track who's this old man okay oh might be beat once I there more than two tracks by the way hey what D just knocked me out of the track this old man some dirty dirty tricks up his sleeve man look how far ahead he is now what the [ __ ] this [ __ ] getting a taste of my own medicine yeah pretty much how do they expected to win the first few races I mean fair enough at this point if I understood what I was reading I could have bought some more sensible upgrades but once again there's no way no way I'm winning this either this game is hard like holy [ __ ] you're not winning anything in the beginning until I guess you finally upgrade your car that's rough also just realized that the odometer on the speedo is actually working that's kind of cool but that's fairly demoralizing if you're losing by such a wide margin in like the first few races here I can see a lot of people probably giving up on this game really early on oh [ __ ] better I buy better upgrades or this just going to keep on happening can I see that bump again that was nasty I'll see that again look at this [ __ ] bam look at that gross okay let's actually try to buy some upgrades that actually help us this time setting I think that's why you actually have to apply upgrades I've not done that oh what can I do here interesting I don't know what we're doing here but we're we're changing something from tin to tick Chad do you like him tin or TI I like him TI oh God we're doing something bad to the edge of though if we do this okay let's try to buy some reasonable upgrades here that does say ta right there that says P pori maybe break we're just going to buy this hi I don't know what I'm doing Chad I only bought one tire I oh my God I only bought one tire but we have four wheels oh yeah that's going to be fine that's that's fine yep that's going to be that's going to be just fine are we driving against the same dude yeah dude this is so [ __ ] look I'm a video game you have to lose over and over again against these two idiots until you buy enough upgrades that you can actually beat them that is so rough man that is by far the hardest cre mode I've ever seen now you ain't winning [ __ ] man you ain't winning [ __ ] until you're like an hour in at the very least that is not fun at all having to grind the same two races losing them over and over and over again but like what is this [ __ ] Dark Souls where you have to do the same boss a bajillion times until you just win that is ridiculous the Dark Souls of racing games all this PR hopeless I'm out of here race out the English and this is great race out all right think I'm good data safe okay it is okay that that's a weird one for sure I think I'm not really playing it playing right but hey it is what it is and maybe in like 3 years once I actually am somewhat I don't want to say fluent but like a little bit better Japanese we can play that game again and actually understand what the [ __ ] I'm doing now wangang B Tarzan all right I'm expecting Tarzan in [Music] this why is there separate voice light full of these what the [ __ ] is a Winker Winker a no R and L dude what is this control scheme this is this is want to point this out this is the basic standard control scheme you accelerate and break with the left stick and you steer with the r stick what the [ __ ] that is so mess up I've never seen this control scheme ever before good thing I went in here first dude do they not have like any anything that I'm used to they are insistent on having you use like acceleration break with a stick you can't put that on a button oh my God okay that's already off to a good start well at least I know thank God I I went in here first scenario all right throw me in okay we can choose on numbers play it seems only numbers though perfect car select Civic com don't look too bad might actually be the best looking com models yet for being honest that's not6 [ __ ] it let's see how this is going to work oh God I have to do I have to drive with both sticks that's a really fun loading screen by the way way this is so clever for loading oh has no one else done that yet who whoa give me a oh my God in here that's my clutch you stinks in here you can actually use your indicators that's kind of fun all right doesn't seem too bad the 86 is not too quick also it definitely says TOA on the back by the way too aox ah [ __ ] I was too busy looking at the carely bunch of typos on the car ah yes the Toyota Toreno aox very iconic car oh yeah the time is fast forwarding really hard for some reason that is not real time someone in chat just said your driving is very unharmonious what the [ __ ] is that supposed to mean not friendly ain't that nice very elaborate word to say I drive like [ __ ] but thank you go V one chat the driving is super clunky by the way I guess we picked this car now so we got to we got to stick with it Beast turn so those are piston upgrades okay I can read I can read most of it the thing is um you know just like with with our language there's different fonts and it's it's hard for me to like read stuff in different fonts also using a lot of kanji those I can't read yet LSD that I can read this is bad country I say the camera makes me a little bit nauseous like it's bobbing up and down a lot very radic radically making me a little bit nauseous actually kind of driving through the city as well it's kind of nice I thought this was Highway only yo holy [ __ ] he dead oh he that for sure what the [ __ ] just happened I think that's a conflict with my control scheme if I break a I also look behind that's not I don't think that has anything to do with the game now that time is actually working correctly I just realized last second very weird oh dude look at the camera angle so tilted I this one seems all right I think if I were to like understand the story it would be a little bit more entertaining ah dude Whi [Music] it the grip was kind of with them chat could it be that every time I press the accelerator I'm pressing down the handbrake as well see now I'm not on the thle now I am is this brake on oh yeah the e braake was on the whole time that's probably why forgot to tell me okay go ahead and go again I think there might be some conflicts with the control scheme the car's not slowing down though wait a minute I don't think the head break is working I mean the to maybe it is maybe the car would be a lot faster otherwise what do I know okay I don't think we can beat that guy this time yeah there's no way we're getting close to him [Music] [Applause] lose so this is super Technic challenge at least that's the part of the name that I can read not a new career oh we got fmvs again it seems or kind of one thing that I really like I've seen this like several times by now is these um PlayStation One racing games from Japan they use a lot of like real world footage I want to see this more often if I'm being honest this is actually kind of cool because it helps tie the game more to real life you know okay it seems like we have a we have a name already or is this P Pura player damn we only there's no there's no I don't mind there's no there a regular okay I just I just pressed next oh well whatever we we continue on I God there's actually no English menu like previously all the games at least have English menus but now we actually have to like kind of see where we go this means Su suu I don't know what that means status yeah true it's just that'ss the com look a little bit squished but I guess that's all this is uh video video video some kind of videos okay I guess we have none yet option this means option it's nice that I can read this feels good man I can at least read like basic menu buttons it's kind of nice okay this I can't read though at least not not completely so I guess we're just going to have to click through who's this bloke they actually just using like pgs of real people like these people must be so old by now like this guy is probably in his like 50s by now it's kind of crazy to think about um is this who we choose to battle against or who to play us this means drift I think let's try drifting I don't know what I'm doing problem is they didn't tell me okay that is so cursed X the x button or Square is accelerate that that is the first that doesn't even make sense for Japanese controller layouts that feels so wrong drift section how do I drift oh God okay we do a simple power over I guess oh God how do the controls work here I think this might be more realistic than it's it might seem at first you have to counter steer really early it doesn't do it for you you actually have to counter steer manually this is actually somewhat realistic see like this is me not contest steering once I start sliding that's actually somewhat impressive okay not too bad so far yeah it feels a little bit huge for TBA I I agree there's nothing there also what this has a banking this turn is banked was that ever a thing before yeah dude this is actually like realistic I have to like use my inertia get off the gas and then counter Ste this is probably as realistic as you were able to get back on the PlayStation one when physics were mainly a suggestion that is very impressive now I don't know how the scoring system works here might be complete [ __ ] for all I know but this feels pretty good honestly it's like Giga sucuba man such a such a huge version of it oh [ __ ] I wonder if I get points if I go Offroad like that what that was actually that good I guess the I guess the judges don't really care if you go Offroad all right that's how the drifting works here not sure if he looks impressed I should come back to these games in like four years or 5 years when I can actually translate the text okay did I win I think I might have yeah winner suu what do you want for me yeah sure do whatever what is this guy Jesus Christ I like these these PS I mean there needs to be a place where I can ah there we go there we can change the controls but but I'm okay no not I'm used to them already so I'm I'm good I think we just went to a different track yes we did okay Jesus so it's a bit of a life simulator it seems where you have to like actually decide what track you want to go to and when you want to go back home it's pretty interesting and you also meet a bunch of seems like real people that you interact with it actually seems like a pretty authentic drifting game that's not just like hey pick a random car and a random trck and have fun drifting they actually build like a lot of stuff around it it's pretty cute there not a drifting competition now though this might actually be a race but since I'm driving a stock 86 it's not like I have any chance NOK look at that connecting people no still alive and I just completely fumbled it dude I'm so every time join I'm crashing they we're playing like Playstation One games here and a new one every like 30 minutes give me is like let's see maybe there's three laps to be honest I don't think if even if this is a race there's no way we're winning it that's one thing that I noticed about a lot of these Japanese racing games on PS1 they are ball crushing hard at least at times some of them were okay but Jesus Christ we desperately have to upgrade the 86 if we want want to have any chance here let's see maybe we still get some points yeah he looks happy he looks pleased with our performance any videos now we got nothing yet actually never mind look at that real FMV see that's what I said earlier these old PlayStation One racing games from Japan they used a lot of real footage which is nuts to me because there was like zero space for videos on these on these old CDs but they still did it just to like make these games more authentic like look at that there's some actual onboard footage of drifting in in sukua that's [ __ ] awesome man I want to see this stuff more often I'm not sure what he's driving though it's hard to tell because uh aftermarket steering wheel now why can I tune the car not sure what that does I think it just progresses the day so we just slept the whole [Music] day okay that looks like a garage what you look at that those look like some upgrades I don't know what I'm buying but I'm buying something I guess I guess red means that this is not available for some reason I mean we got money and these upgrades don't seem that expensive so yeah just just give me everything everything you got we bought pretty much everything except here are they equipped or do I have to manually equip them I think they are equipped no now they are maybe I don't know does yellow mean equipped or unequipped no no no we have to equip them the stats change yeah look at that the stats change when I turn the text yellow we have to we have to equip this okay looking a little bit better so I think that's it what does this do oh look at that guess we can get a new car here now but now now we already committed to the um 86 but to be honest the prices here seem really fair this doesn't look like there's a lot of grinding involved here this is super cool by the way that you're looking at these in like a car catalog dude this is so cool this is actually like what Gran Turismo would end up doing I think in gta7 right with they use C dealer where it looks like the cars are actually like on some kind of dealership and you have a bit of a background here they've already done this like before the first Grand Turismo even came out this is so cool instead of just having the the car just spinning in like an empty void I think this is so much cooler actually looks like these cars were photographed here and you're looking at a magazine this is so cool I spent I spent all my money on the on the 86 now so we got to we got to commit now so let's see if this one's a little bit faster now oh yes holy crap Jesus Christ one of those upgrades do to the car holy crap hey yo okay [Music] oh that was a drag race and I think we just lost I think we might have this game has so much personality I don't that's the thing I don't understand a single [ __ ] word here but I can already tell that this has so much personality which is really cool I I really wish this was properly translated I think if you could actually like read everything read all the dialogue and everything get to know all these characters this could be like an awesome car RPG game super super cool super cool so next is Shoku battle R most of these have Shoku in the name I think maybe like the third or fourth [Applause] on is it geny again these [ __ ] are everywhere how many games that they [Applause] make more FMV cutscenes dude I'm telling you I'm telling you man oh dude that car looks nice I'm telling you this was this is so awesome man we need more of this stuff man I want to see more like actual videos in these games yeah VHS degradation and the the compression sweet sweet 20 FPS video all right there we go scenario dude is this a freaking subra I don't know these cam look weird let's go with the skyline shop we have any money isn't that the same dude from the previous game like one of the previous games he looks really familiar can start with a better turbo I guess sure more power more power baby this might be weight reduction I'm not sure all let's see how this place oh yeah this might be like toky extreme racer before to extreme racer was actually a thing and it seems like it handles better it's actually First Impressions the handling wise actually feels kind of nice okay Ral is quick I already upgrade my Turbo I'm stuck at 180 but 180 seems like um a fairly common limit like some of the games that we played before also had a 180 speed limit this makes me a question how am I supposed to win these races then I mean we have automatic transmission I highly doubt the automatic transmission locks us to fourth gear that would be kind of silly try slip streaming the traffic so I don't see any here this place is dead I think we might be getting closer though I might be tripping looking at the mini map I think we're actually getting closer yeah music is going hot again at least oh there he is maybe we can still clutch this out there's some traffic caruse feel like the traffic cars only spawn when you're close to the opponent like we saw none of them pretty much the entire race long now the opponent is pulling again maybe some rubber band okay now I [ __ ] up proper you know why I want to say we're not gear limited because we're only at 5K RPM but it's not like we're maxing out the RPM here we're not maxing out the fourth gear that I find kind of bizarre need to take off the limit in the upgrades really this which of these is the right one we could try getting the EVC fer something with fuel middle one you sure fuel cut I mean maybe yeah fuel limiter okay I bought it equipped it let's try again I mean that's something you really just kind of have to know if you're just a casual and you pick this game up in the store because the cover looked fun uh that kind of that kind of sucks you kind of B man what oh yeah there we go there we go now we're actually racing watch the Youtube video about it yeah thank God we live in the day age of the internet this really hot once again these like Japanese racing games are hot as hell man and un ironically this was also made by gen I think this has better handling than the first few toky extreme racer games it's not great especially drifting feels awkward as hell but just driving around here feels a lot better the Nissa logo is actually just eight pixels yeah it is finish it should have gotten us at least a few credits oh yeah a lot look at that lots of points we can switch car anytime I think you don't actually have to buy any cars you can just switch to whatever you want performance wise they all seem fairly [Music] similar listen to that the sound changes in the tunnel there's a little bit of Reverb you can call it that that's such a cool detail the sound changes in the tunnel the thing is with these old games where I expect actually nothing these small things stand out so much so better game box seems like a good idea and what else tires yeah where's gear book I like that they added images so that a guy jeans like myself can at least somewhat understand what I'm what I'm about to buy here oh yeah there we go 5speed 80 six speed Mt interesting okay so the automatic transmission is more expensive but you get less less gears either way I can't afford any of them right now yeah to be honest I would just buy better tires for now the grip is horrendous and I think honestly to speed is fine it's not it's not that bad we're clearly winning on the St so far although that super is quick I'm not sure if we can beat him the grip is much better for sure still don't quite understand the drifting though promise the speed on the Straits was kind of our trap card but I think that Supra might actually beat us other Straits now so I don't think this is going to be a win honestly I'd rather take these Corners legit with breaking I think that's a lot more effective than trying to somehow get a hold of the drifting physics in this game and just crashing against all the walls oh [ __ ] it's going to be tight ah [ __ ] actual battle though it's kind of nice oh [ __ ] DFT break earlier okay it's not too far ahead I think we can still catch up see you later boy no God damn wall yep that messed it up yeah now turning in this game is not good it's not good but it's okay I think we saw what there is to see with this one I mean it's okay okay the fact that you just have access to all the cars is kind of meh and there isn't that me to begin with but it's it's okay it's okay next one side by side special title hey what is this Initial D okay it's not a real FMV intro like the ones we saw before the 3D animated doesn't look too bad though we've seen we've seen a lot worse [Music] side by side yep that's the name of the game all right what do we have here information what the [ __ ] did that just [Music] say what is [Music] this what are we looking at yeah this is just an ed but for what trains let's train [Music] again train game what what the [ __ ] is this dude that has to be the most exciting Ed for anything train Rel reled I have ever seen what the [ __ ] was that okay we only have arcade and time attack arcade [Music] then summer spring oh wow oh that's the name of the track I thought I thought he were choosing the season interesting they're named after months and uh Seasons just throw them into this one what do we have here oh wow these car models Jesus Christ they look like DS they actually look like some DS games I've played before I mean fair enough n DS is practically Playstation One Hardware performance wise I mean some something low end actually let's let's let's do the touring wagon 3 2 1 go bre looks fairly pretty though oh look at that animated even fluttering through the wind this is pretty and this plays surprisingly well the Sens of speed is awesome so far so good this camera view is kind of funny yeah collision's also not completely [ __ ] up for once it's a shame that this is really only in arcade mode right like you don't have any career or progression and I mean fair enough this was not standard back then this is mainly something that Grant turis really cemented as a standard I think just in terms of moment to moment gameplay and visuals this is really nice I really kind of want to see all the other tracks and there were a lot of them okay not sure if I can finish first though seems pretty difficult as per usual but then again if there's not really any sort of progression makes me wonder if winning even matters here you know congratulations and we just stop nice dude this is not too bad yeah I think this might just be an arcade game like you have the name entry here as well and we're still first on the time rankings though how did I lose then that doesn't make sense you get the record but [ __ ] you game over game over Jesus Christ relax game over God damn okay what should what else should we do I I really kind of want to see all of them because they look really nice okay I'm curious about this one what is this oh this time we actually don't have a map either yeah this more of a mystery track I see and this is actually proper to route as well oh god oh this kind is differently which I mean makes sense now we're on a in a rear whe drive car the S is way differently than the wagon from before oh God I'm really struggling though I'm running out of time too [ __ ] look at that car collisions are actually somewhat decent here it's usually a bit of a pain Point even in the older gr turmos they're not actually teleporting your car all over the place for once which is nice running out of time with the checkpoint time is almost up I know 2 okay saved I can't promise I'll hit the next one though although I'm somewhat starting to get the hang of it here I mean we basically just jumped to the final track so I expected this to be fairly difficult and requires some Mastery which I do not possess it I got to say the turbo SS are really [ __ ] nice though turbo SS are a bit of a treat here not going to lie oh no another the timer again where's checkpoint I don't see it I don't see it no time is almost up almost it is up game over game over you suck okay let's try let's try ttic it's probably just the same thing but with all opponents what's a track that I really want to see let's try a winter track like this one let's try something from wheel drive here you see the backfire what the [ __ ] now but this game is actually really kind of nice it's really just a shame that this is like oh God snow physics oh God sow physics what the hell oh Jesus Christ okay I was not expecting that oh this is actually so impressive man dude look at look at look at the angle of the car how much more sideways to have to go the car is almost pointing backwards look what is this [ __ ] what this doesn't make sense yeah this is a front whee driver by the way imagine I went here with a with a rear wheel drive car I don't even want to know how that would look like you have to actually point the car backwards if you want to turn at all like this is how you have to do this oh man that's goofy I like that can you do a 360 entry good question maybe oh no I'm running out of time quick do 360 to save it no all I was I was messing messing around too much your time is almost up denied this is like a full arcade like there's nothing to earn here nothing to gain you already have all the content unlocked it's very much like what you see is what you get kind of deal right looks like there's a bit of a dirt path there as well on the summer track let's try let's try this one I want to know how um a rear wheel drive car does on off-road and [ __ ] wait a minute is this track supposed to be resembling Laguna sea no that [ __ ] look like Laguna sea oh like that I'm saying you know the way these tracks how they go up and down and have all these turns with the handling this kind kind of reminds me a little bit of Rich racer but getting first seems really difficult here I got into second fairly easily but if you want to actually be first I have I have no idea what you have to do okay can we at least please finish this oh okay close got thir at least hey at least we broke the record I'm surprised it doesn't have like um a multiplayer mode right this feels like a cool game to play with a friend like in in split screen or something but I think that's pretty much all I mean there isn't really that much to do here really wish they would have done more with this because honestly like this this game looks super pretty and plays fairly well uh but that's cute I like it only two more to go next one is Tokyo Highway battle USA version so I'm kind of cheating with this one a little bit this one's not exclusively from Japan this one had ports to like other regions but still made in Japan and I've never heard of it neither have most of you I assume so there we go I played this earlier in the video no I'm I'm going um in Auto with these two you sound very sure oh this intro does look familiar hold on I mean it's because a lot of them use like f drifting fmvs uh in on suo I'm not sure what he's driving though it's hard to tell because uh aftermarket steering wheel now okay now now I'm actually curious because this this feels hella familiar Tokyo Highway battle we did play this earlier in the video [ __ ] you're right that does seem familiar but now I actually understand what this what this everything is saying here actually was the second game we played earlier in I thought it was really nice was the one with the cool music how the [ __ ] was I supposed to know that's a problem when you give games they're entirely different names by the region then you have fools like me who think this is a different game and it's notd I mean yeah there still still good my opinion has not changed even after seeing seven others play the train game from the Ed instead you were discussing it yesterday while I was playing it oh [ __ ] me man I guess I didn't see the chat I mean look at this this was the second game we played yesterday drift King Shu battle and this one's called Tokyo Highway battle God damn it okay wangang trial Japan dis one don't ask me where dis 2 went my dog ate it ad 2020 [ __ ] that was three years ago God damn it the future [Music] generation B no fore [Music] [Music] yeah it's super authentic that's what I keep saying these PS1 games they they tied whatever the game was to real life a lot using Real Clips which I think made these made these so much more authentic video clip who are these women okay we haven't unlocked anything yet okay guess we'll find out want to see the story yeah this what what what what's up with this do we literally unlock women here all right I [Music] what is this dude this is super cool what the [ __ ] they're actually telling like an actual story with like what what the [ __ ] like actual movie [ __ ] oh was only a dream for [Music] this is so sick what the [ __ ] yeah this goes so hard what the hell this is a racing game little like L For Speed you know when they had like um real actd on cut scenes [Music] this is so cool [Music] though oh now loading okay okay okay something's happening something's this is this is by far the most bizarre but also cool game we've seen so far oh my God okay what the [ __ ] am I playing oh please don't let the gameplay be darkg water now what does it say on the back Sky dime sky dime oh it's the Nissan Sky di NX and Sky diim okay this doesn't feel too bad it looks pretty horrendous I got to admit dude to be honest I just want to keep playing to see where the story goes I the thing is I don't even understand a single [ __ ] word I just want to I just want to see what happens like I want to see more of these like budget fmvs that's so bizarre I've never seen anything like that oh that's fish all right game play wise it's uh it's okay it doesn't feel too bad but yeah it's nothing nothing exhilerating but let's see I don't know ah more story I guess that's the [Music] sister the [ __ ] is this game [Music] I just listen to her and then was just like peace out don't care no loading s the same way guy came back to listen to to listen to her one more time and it dipped again what a zigma [Music] male what is this music music sound sound nice not going to lie all right I mean it's not the okay let me put it this way it's not the worst I've heard I'm not sure if I would say it's nice compare this to like the second game we played which was also the the game that I accidentally downloaded again uh I mean bought twice that was good music damn only second hope that's enough talking to me what is happening what what what I guess we [ __ ] up can we try again oh we start all over again oh we had to win oh [ __ ] okay whatever we'll we'll we'll start another story we'll start we'll start another story let's just ditch her [ __ ] it let's forget about her uh let's go with um uh you you look you look [Music] [Music] nice foree [Music] [Music] [Music] speee for [Music] [Music] okay so if I understand this game correctly the guy in the skyline is basically always us trying to impress these girls is that correct does that make sense that's my interpretation of the story okay I got to say this game looks a lot better at night the stage looks way better and there's basically three runs each time I think and at the end of the third one we have to be first I think I'm pretty sure that's how it works it's an interesting concept I got to say okay we we got up to ninth I think that's where I finished before as well [Music] [Applause] [Music] spee [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] I like the main character dude this is this is the weirdest game I've ever played dude and that's saying something we played some weird [ __ ] okay let's actually try to win this now otherwise we get kicked to the main menu again this is pretty Ru ruthless by the way if you lose one of these you got to start this particular story from the beginning again these two are grouped together but D first is nowhere to be seen oh never mind there is I think some for a brief moment I think maybe that's the Porsche that we saw in the cut scenes I think so it's hard to T from you cops okay pass the yellow Porsche let's try to stay ahead yeah look at that there's a cop behind me [ __ ] oh we won though all right let's see what happens this the end now we made a wait [Music] what just happened why did you wait for us just to leave I don't get it I'm sure this would have made a lot more sense if I understood what she was saying wait what is this now second chapter disc two God damn it I need to find this I need to find disc two somewhere dude I can't continue I have to insert dis 2 now I'm [ __ ] give me one moment to um quickly buy it dude I kind of want to play through the entire game this is this is too weird and too interesting to just wave this off after 20 minutes or or 30 minutes eBay shipping super fast nowadays really a matter of seconds I still love these cut scenes though I got to say this game is just really intriguing but now looks like we're on a RAC track oh Lord [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] okay so we're not driving on the one gun anymore dude what a [ __ ] game changer like I don't know what I was expecting but I wasn't expecting this we went from one gun racing to just straight up track racing what the hell any what this works surprisingly well I would actually argue this works better the handing actually works really well for this what a [ __ ] game dude helicopter and it's gone I think I just [ __ ] up oh nice dude did you see that I ran out of time but the car kept rolling over the I want the Finish light so I got another time extent dude that's pogers where's the next checkpoint though this the one oh [ __ ] dude this is hard okay now we lost for real though this is actually a lot harder we get a cut scene he's not happy and now we can try again but I think the checkpoints here is really the main challenge like the opponent's are easy to overtake whoa what are the physics doing whoa what the [ __ ] all right still Playstation One game at heart could maybe try drifting but I don't know how I don't know how to engage a drift oh this is really hard dude time is really working against you here [ __ ] this is really hard I don't think I can beat this I basically can make any mistakes damn I I'll probably come back to this another day and then we actually do like all the stories maybe I don't know if I'm if I'm crazy enough we can do all the stories all right boy what a what a trip what a trip I kind of scammed you unfortunately it was only nine games instead of 10 because I thought that other game was a different one but it ended up being the same one was very interesting to see all of these different approaches and different levels of quality different levels of focus and uh you know but these games are like because uh they're quite different than what we're used to nowadays and uh yeah was worth checking out [Music] [Music] go go go go [Music]
