Heard it was a very rushed and half baked port. Initial D for the Saturn was developed by Genki and had absolutely no connection to the later arcade/console series, which came from Sega Rosso - I guess that's probably why it's not so great a port!

If I remember correctly it's also based on the Manga and was done before the Anime really came out. So it doesn't have any Eurobeat in it.

Was kinda hoping there would be a thread on hidden saturn racers that are decent... This is a really old thread but I too just recently found out about this game. Wonder why it was never covered by Official Sega Saturn mag? Although the steering is too responsive and you really have to master drifting in this game I really do like the characters and music. But I wish they could have offered a better training mode to help teach the drifting mechanics for the main meat of the game. The 3D engine isn't bad but not quite as good as shutokoh racing 97 Pressing the drift button and depending how long you hold it down for seems to be key in mastering those sharp turns... but you might end up throwing your controller at the screen. Also the default camera I find is wayyyy to close to the back of the car. To get a better start in the race you have to press the acceleration just a little after 2 during the countdown sort of Mario Kart during acceleration.

I think that in terms of other hidden racers on the Saturn, Touge: King the Spirits 2 is regarded in a much better light. It has that Japanese mountain racing look to it.Someday I'd like to play it. It's a shame Initial D isn't that great. And it has no eurobeat!
