I'm suprised nobody posted a topic on this. It's an awesome racing game that doesn't focus on touges like Initial D. It mainly focuses on Tokyo and its Wangan Line. It reaches a much higher speed than Initial D and when you're going fast enough you can see the screen shake a bit.

I personally think that it's overpriced here[2 fockin bucks], but I try to play occasionally. I have a 620HP BNR33, a 600HP sTi, 340HP Fairlady Z['350Z' here. I made this because I forgot the code for the next car], and a Hiace[it's the Namco van's you see in the traffic].

This game has an awesome soundtrack from Yuzo Koshiro.

GO PLAY NAO

[viper2681]

Yellow 800HP RX-7 FD with Aero parts, Silver 620hp Fairlady Z S30 with Aero parts, white 600hp RX-7 FC with carbon parts, and then a blue BNR34 that I think is up to 815 that Sho found.

My best time on Metropolitan is 13:03, which was placed 31/100 on the right machine at Hawaiian Brians. I still need to get 26 seconds faster to be #1.

Also, it's only a buck at Hawaiian Brians.

^ HAY THAT'S WHERE THAT CARD WENT GIMME IT BACK

I got just one card, a 640hp blue RX-7 Spirit R (yay). DG ftw.

Yeah, but the shifters on both sides are broken as shit, and all the seat speakers blew awhile ago.

Why do all the retard noobs at Brians drive BNR34's or CE9A's, anyway?

[katsu]

Because the BNR34 is THE best car in the game. Yeah I know sounds lame but it is...

[Bass GS]

bnr34 is a skyline right? I thought they were heavy. and what's dg stand for? I played this not too long ago, didn't wanna get a card cause it was expensive. the guy next to me had a van!! how'd he get that!

[viper2681]

Actually shin, it's a mixup. The BNR34 and the CE9A are about equal.

Right, the BNR34 is one of the many Nissan Skyline GT-R models, and yes, they're as heavy as a PS3. DG stands for 'Dangerous', where 'D' stands for Drift, 'B' stands for balaced, and I can't recall the other two.

As for the van, it's an easter egg. You highlight a specific vehicle and use the stick as the code enterer. Using this technique, you can also choose the Toyota Corolla, Nissan 300ZX (Z32 model), and the Toyota Celsior.

[aotsukisho]

^ DG = Dangerous/Dangerous Grip (ie. none, lol)
D = Drift
B = Balance/Balanced
G = Grip
HG = High Grip

Spirit R isn't God Tier. ;_;

[Bass GS]

thanks guys. what do you guys play as? the grip, i mean.

[katsu]

I like the G side more. My sTi achieved rank Handlingism where you put your first 10 pts into handling. Right now I'm trying to get Silver Bra. lolol titles in this game are hilarious. As for the van I have it and its awweeesome. code is 3-2-2, 3-2-2, 3-2-2. Have fun : >

[aotsukisho]

Nice, I'll probably make a Hiace at Brian's, cause it's only $1 for a card there (I think). : >

I played again tonight, and I lost all four times (dammit!) I played. One was vs my friend Mike, who is insane, so it was only really 3 times.

[viper2681]

^ Haha, watching Mike smash that guy on Hakone was hilarious.

I think I'll make a Corolla one day.

[katsu]

The Hiace and the Corolla both start off with 120 hp so be careful not to lose in the first race. As long as you get in front of him at the last 1.5 kms then your good to go.

[Bass GS]

whatk ind of corolla is it? also, iwas wondering if you have to select any partcular car when you input the code...

[katsu]

Yep, you certainly do. I'll give you the codes.

Namco Corolla
Highlight the 5-speed Toyota Supra and enter Neutral, 4, 1, 2, 6, 4, 1, 2, 6, 4, 1, 2, 6
Toyota Celsior
Highlight the Toyota Chaser and enter Neutral, 6, 4, 3
Nissan Z31
Highlight the Nissan S30 and enter Neutral, 6, 4, 3
Hiace
Higlight MR-2 Neutral -> 3->2->2->3->2->2->3->2->2->3->2->2->

[aotsukisho]

Namco Corolla? Which model is it based off of?

Also, my FD is at 680hp (D).

The Namco Corolla is based off the 9th Gen. Corolla.

[viper2681]

Sorry for the double post.

Last weekend, I finally finished the the first 40 stages. Now I just need to finish the Manga Storyline and get those extra tuning pages on my FD. I also now have the title "The chosen Flying Dragon", and swapped the Aero parts with the Carbon Fiber parts.

I hate being poor...

[waddles]

R34 = best car? ha no it is not R32 is teh best car =] don't really remember after that but I know R32 is numba 1 second would prolly be that stupid celsior I HATE THAT THING

[viper2681]

No, trust me when I say that the CT9A and the BNR34 are the absolute best cars in the game. The CT9A for turns, the BNR34 for insane speeds.

I still think the FD is better though.

EDIT: Can't believe I forgot to mention this, but there's going to be an anime based off the Wangan Midnight manga in Spring '07.

[katsu]

I'm sorry to say, but most records are held by the R32 and the Celsior. The Celsior has the best handling and the R32 is well...fricken awesome. Even though it was Waddles' R34 that ran a 12' 37" against my van. oO He ran his 4' 21" on New Belt Line with the R32.

[viper2681]

Really? You guys probably just don't have good R34 drivers, and more people trying to be like Reina then.

[waddles]

Maybe it's not really better R34 drivers but more like World Records held by R32 drivers and not R34 drivers o_O think about that.

Well...REina's awesome. lol well waddles don't you run a R34? I run a R33 rofl.

[viper2681]

This is true, Reina is a sexy lady.

Dee, on the other hand, thinks Reina is a manlady.

[waddles]

Ohh, lol now i c wat u mean, lol. why yes i do drive a R34 but i was thinking of switching to a R32 or an EVO8 since they are both good cars. Man..... if Reina is indeed a Manlady then idk..... lol very VERY akward.

[viper2681]

I just made a Chaser the other day.

I have no idea of what I was thinking. I shoulda just continued work on my FD.

[katsu]

Nice, I wanted to make a car that no one uses [besides the Hiace]. I mean the I' d make a Chaser, but I want something like...a R33, owait...rofl. Yep Trash-Tier FTW!!

[viper2681]

You want trash-tier? I saw someone with a Eunos Cosmos.

I don't think he's won one race yet.

[katsu]

Oi...Yeah the Hiace isn't trash [pushing cars FTW]. CELSIORS CAN GO TO HELL. Yep.

Poor guy.
