Also fun fact, Genki is really well known in the racing scene in Japan because they are always at Tsukuba Circuit and always at the major PA’s on the C1 and Wangan to both market but also stay connected to car culture and racing culture in Japan.
@ for real, look in to it. They are a staple small team at Tsukuba and have been since the late 90’s they used to race Kei cars now they run a bright yellow S2K. And they have been seen in Kei vans during the summer meets in Daikoku PA handing out stickers and taking photos of cars and talking with people. This has been a a thing for some time now as well.
TXR goes further back than PS2. They were even on Sega Dreamcast and PS1. TXR3, TXR Zero, TXR Drift, and TXR Drift 2 were all PS2. There's alot of history on the series, they changed series names and continued on as a Japan only game for decades. SO EXCITED TO GET TXR BACK!
I couldn't remember if it went that far back or not. It's been awhile since I've watched documentaries on it. And the earliest TXR I remember seeing in stores as a kid was Sega Dreamcast. It's definitely a long running franchise.
The Drift series and also Kaido Racer series is known in Japan as 街道バトル (Kaido Battle) series. TXR DRIFT is basically US version of the 1st Kaido Battle game, the 2nd game wasn't release in the US, but it was released in PAL region as Kaido Racer, the 3rd game released in the Japan as Kaidō: Tōge no Densetsu (KAIDO 峠の伝説) in the US version known as TXR DRIFT 2 also the PAL region as Kaido Racer 2.
this game had so many hidden racers. like it had to be a thursday and it had to be raining for a certian boss to appear. this was one of my favorite games
One thing to note is that most rivals are returning rivals from past games, with philosophy and story spanning almost 30 years. Like that black 86 belongs to Bloodhound, a guy that usually races big sedans in the games he's appeared in.
@@HeavenNagai There is likely going to be an in-lore explanation for his abrupt change in vehicle. Especially since his Aristo actually showed up in Drift Spirits.
@knocked_for_six Yes, in TXR DRIFT or the 1st Kaido Battle game, he was 18 when he became one of the fastest drivers on the Iroha Slopes (Irohahazaka no 1 hill climb course Slasher).
The intro hit the nail on the head. I literally just want to race. Build my car and race. I don’t want a festival, I don’t want followers, and I don’t want to be famous. I just want to race.
I really like how the devs stick to their roots. It is a reboot or return to form afterall and them having to focus more on the core of what made TXR great is a really good sign for this game. And most especially that we are at least gonna get a racing game with a very solid singleplayer experience. Something thats been missing on this genre for a while. At least this way then can work on what they already have and improve it on potential sequels or even dwell on their txr drift series return too or heck how about even another shot at something like racing battle c1 but with global release now too.
Fun fact: The Fast and The Furious game actually had a trailer in the 2 fast 2 furious movie, it featured cars from the first two films and racing spots from those films...
Imagine: this game comes out along side nightrunners. HOLY SHIT, you can play both. nightrunners with its 1990-early 2k era vibes and now Tokyo Xtreme Racer with the same gameplay but with modern graphics. I AM HYPED.
I am really enjoying nightrunners though. The vhs looks are great & runs quite well with my Intel i3 and no gfx card. Seriously these indie developers are doing proper optimization
0:34 One correction, technically it started from the -PS1- Super Famicom era (1994), but the main entries that we all know and love (with the SP system) started from the Dreamcast era.
@@apophisstr6719 To my knowledge, the earliest release outside Japan was Shutoko Battle 97' for the PS1, which was sold as Tokyo Highway Battle in Europe.
@@DiaperSNiFFER you're obviously NOT a car guy Mazda speed 3 was pretty damn potent in the hatch segment. The Mazda MP3 was also unique. Gran Turismo featured other Mazdas that WERENT the RX-7 . I almost forgot the Mazda 6 also was a touring car for a bit
@@DiaperSNiFFER again you apparently don't know cars not that I'm trying to change your perception of the brand. Lmao. The Mazda RX-7 If you did a quick search is one of the most famous of the JDM cars. We got the Nissan Skyline... Then We got the Supra and right next to em you got the RX-7. Mazdas history in racing is soo storied they had a track in America Laguna Seca where some insane Cycle racing would go down. Mazda Laguna Seca. Jeeps wouldn't belong in TOKYO extreme racer although I'm positive Japan being a quirky as it is Jeeps are probably popular there the way odd Japanese cars were here almost 30 years ago. Mazda also did the 787-B which was a complete monster too. All of em are easy to look up and find.
If you don't understand why this game is based entirely on the Japanese highway you need to dive into some old UA-cam videos. These guys were crazy, doing 200 miles per hour on public roads.
@@kevinmorales9795 I'm mostly hoping the AI will be better but people are saying the AI at the moment is like TXR3's. So I am expecting them to just dive bomb every corner.
@kevinmorales9795 The only thing that TXR 3 is good is that there's engine & oil temperatures, where you must manage when to push hard & when you must save the engine from overheating & the weather system.
Super stoked about this , I have collected the whole series of these games from back in the day and am glad they are keeping to the og roots and not completely making it over. The whole love with this game was an unpolished "arcade" racer, and it will be the younger generations that won't appreciate the simplicity of the graphics and mechanics of the game but the true og gamers that will appreciate the "upgraded" version of a game that is a cult classic
spent alot of hours on TXR 3. engine swapping a supra after 10k+ miles and trying out boss cars. looking at this new TXR takes me back to the good ol' simplistic days and everything felt enough. homestretch baby
as to where this game came from, if genki was just sitting on it or not, i think SRP was actually a user data collection operation as well as an opportunity to fine tune the map and stuff through AC
TXR series is anything but simple. With the wanders mechanic making it so you have to meet very specific conditions to be able to race. Engine temp and tire wear make it so you have to strategize your races. Fairly in depth tuning. Some of the games have multiple maps (I know TXR 3 does but I’m not sure of the others off the top of my head.) You also get randomized names based off your driving style/stats, sometimes you can get some funny mistranslations of names. This new game is going to take the CarPG mechanic further with a skill tree and I’m sure more features. Based off the transparency and how much gameplay is already out there of the game it’s safe to get excited for this one.
Now in the 2025 TXR game, the B.A.D Names system can be changed if there's the new one that appears once you finish the night run or you can keep the B.A.D name as your wish if you think the newer one not suit you. It works like you're playing the Bandai Namco's long-running WMMT series (the player's title).
This brought back so much memories the abflug r34 intro…… the 13 devils bosses…. Nobs s15 race oridos supra, mcr r34, that corvette Nagoya, the engine transfer too man…. Rollercoaster of memories ❤

I use to play Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero non stop on Playstation, I really hope this does come to console. Would be really cool to get the nostalgia of playing this again. The car list these games had were amazing, and even back then they weren't officially licensed but everyone knew what the cars were by the engine codes they used for them.
Used to play Tokyo Xtreme Racer 2 on my SEGA Dreamcast back in the day and i was pissed because it was the only game that couldn't save properly so you had to start over each time you play oh the days i tried to finish it in one game session i really miss those days :)
@@Subsistence97 Ofc i had the echelon version originals were very hard to find at that time in my country :) i guess i had like 2 original discs and the rest were "with bugs" so to say :)
Diehard TXR fans knew how much have changed, especially with the rivals. And specifically some bosses' car choices, like some have changed away from their usual car choices. I'm really anticipated on what Genki's cooking now, i'm really hoping it end up as another peak game.
As someone who has been lucky enough to drive some really fun cars on the C1 loop and Bayside route irl; I am SO excited for this! This is what the racing game community has been needing.
Surely this becomes a racing GOTY contender? A classic game, no MTX, no online, no BS, just offline and pure racing bliss! Can't wait for the console release!
I love that this experience will finally be coming back to home PC's and console because my current experiences are from the PS2 era games and the Japanese arcade cabinet of Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 5DX+ at Round 1. The only way I think this could become even better is a successor to Xtreme Racer Drift 2
Duuuude for the past 2 years!!!! I've been trying to remember the name of this game I use to play!!! In my childhood!!! Was one of my favorite games back then!! I CANT WAIT!!
I played the game "首都高" on DreamCast, which is a very nostalgic experience. I still remember the titles and vehicle designs of each opponent, even though they had no lines in the game.
After they had Tokyo Xtreme Racer and Tokyo Xtreme racer 2 they had Tokyo Xtreme racer drift series. It was my absolute favorite because of the downhill drifting. It was so much fun. If you get a chance check that one out
this is especially given that Japanese are being hit & miss when it comes to making a good PC port for every Elden Ring (and most of the Fromsoftware games) & Nier Automata, you also get modern Yakuzas & Ace Combat 7 that's reportedly runs surprisingly well on literal toasters, and I will rule out Silent Hill 2 Remake due to the fact it was developed by Polish devs
100% the big racing games are trend chasing WAY too hard. I only want 3 things from my racing games 1. Fun gameplay 2. Single player free race mode (and some mode where you unlock stuff) 3. Solid roster of cars and tracks Thats all. Thats all your racing game should have.
@xXVibrantSnowXx If the Bandai Namco is still cared or aware that the racing games market is still there. But for them, the market of racing games isn't that profitable anymore.
They're showing the wanderers, cmon! How did you not catch that. You showed Rolling Guy right there! These are the wanderers from before in their newer cars or upgraded versions of their old cars.
What big devs, investors and corpo need to realize is if you want a bigger scope for a game, not just racing games, you need way more time than you think to have it cook in the oven. Like a multiplier, not one to one. A little bit more than before is a lot more to integrate. But no, invest money means launch game. Invest more means LAUNCH FASTER, like come on.
Import Tuner Challenge was a rushed and unfinished game because of Ubisoft. It was a shame how small the map was on ITC. Another reason why the name was changed from TXR to ITC. Sadly the new TRX won’t be exactly like TXR3 which in terms of the other 2 highways won’t be included it will be literally a remake of TXR Zero with some elements of TXR3 and some engine sounds recycled from ITC. Either way I can’t wait and hope there will be PVP like ITC. *ReIntegration #3 world rank on ITC
@TheAnunnaki-NYC at least we can finally drive in the Wangan & Yokohane area. But it's sad that Yaesu Route, Shibuya & Shinjuku routes are not included in this game. So it's basically like Wangan Midnight PS3
TXR 3 was the best one in my opinion. Second was TXR Zero. I remember I locked full carbon fiber body shells in TXR 3 and doing the mileage trick to get V8 Turbo swaps. So excited for this!
One thing though the game series started back on the Super Famicom (SNES for NA/Europe) and it was later released as Tokyo Xtreme racer on Sega Dreamcast and it became a cult classic on the console until it got released on PS2, but on the Dreamcast it truly is something special.
This is a remake of Import Tuner Challenge that came out on Xbox 360 was an awesome game at the time one of the first car customisation games to come out

What big devs, investors and corpo need to realize is if you want a bigger scope for a game, not just racing games, you need way more time than you think to have it cook in the oven. Like a multiplier, not one to one. A little bit more than before is a lot more to integrate. But no, invest money means launch game. Invest more means LAUNCH FASTER, like come on.
I used to really enjoy playing the PS2 “Tokyo Express” Fast and The Furious game. I definitely need to pull that out again
Loved TX0 had one of the best livery editors back then.
I love that from the looks of it we are going to get a large chunk of the Aqua Line right from the rip.
To see Suzuki Cars back in games once more makes me happy, lowkey really excited for this
Here comes these new wave gamers that have no idea
the one racing game series that i wish would come back is Sega GT. Still my favourite racing game from the OG Xbox
Sega GT2002 was well ahead of its time but sadly just fell with Sega like all their other games like Jet Set Radio
My childhood has decided to pop off recently, first MySims re-released and now _My NFS before NFS!_
Import Tuner Challenge was a rushed and unfinished game because of Ubisoft. It was a shame how small the map was on ITC. Another reason why the name was changed from TXR to ITC. Sadly the new TRX won’t be exactly like TXR3 which in terms of the other 2 highways won’t be included it will be literally a remake of TXR Zero with some elements of TXR3 and some engine sounds recycled from ITC. Either way I can’t wait and hope there will be PVP like ITC.
*ReIntegration #3 world rank on ITC
@TheAnunnaki-NYC at least we can finally drive in the Wangan & Yokohane area. But it's sad that Yaesu Route, Shibuya & Shinjuku routes are not included in this game. So it's basically like Wangan Midnight PS3
Genki have been sitting on this, they haven't had the funding to develop a game since 2007.
It goes farther back! Genki been around for awhile. I started on dreamcast but I believe saturn has a version of it and playstation.
TXR 3 was the best one in my opinion. Second was TXR Zero. I remember I locked full carbon fiber body shells in TXR 3 and doing the mileage trick to get V8 Turbo swaps. So excited for this!
Used to play this game all the time. Super cool to see it making a return
One thing though the game series started back on the Super Famicom (SNES for NA/Europe) and it was later released as Tokyo Xtreme racer on Sega Dreamcast and it became a cult classic on the console until it got released on PS2, but on the Dreamcast it truly is something special.
This is a remake of Import Tuner Challenge that came out on Xbox 360 was an awesome game at the time one of the first car customisation games to come out
