4:28 that billboard is a billboard that advocates safe driving. It says 'stop traffic accidents' but on the 'p' of stop they put it right behind a butt so it is an onomatopoeia of a fart. That sir right there, you guys just witnessed a Japanese fart joke 💀

The crustiness of the subtitles in the last game made me think they were actually legit until I saw Uber mentioned lol
One Japanese “racing game” that I would recommend is Racing Lagoon on the PS1. I say racing game in air quotations because it’s actually a full fledged JRPG made by Square Soft that revolves around 90’s street racing in Japan

Racing Lagoon. Now that, that is a game I want to see Eden cover. Between its story, music, presentation, and absurd customisation predating more popular titles. Shout-out to Hilltop for his translation work, in our current racing game drought, Racing Lagoon is a game everyone must discover.

It took me 2 cutscenes to realize the subtitles on the Wangan Trial FMVs werent legit. I love them
The fake translations for the FMV´s of the last game are pure comedy gold. I need a full "translation" Patch for the game with that stuff.

As a fellow Japanese learner, I'm proud of you learning the language, Dustin. Not everyone has the will to learn the basics of the language, and you're becoming one of the few English-speaking racing game KZreadrs who knows Japanese, even if it's just a little bit.
You have to play racing lagoon, I'm totally serious. It is a hidden gem in the PSX game gallery, greetings and good luck
The FMVs you have seen are clips and famous people from videos / DVDs in the 90s in Japan. One of the drift clips is the famous "Drift Bible" by Keiichi Tsuchiya who was nicknamed the "Drift king" or in other words, it is a lot of 90s car culture in here. As for the movies and stories, there is a movie series called Shutoko Trial and there are 6 movies from the 80s until the 90s that you can think of as early Fast and Furious with japanese car culture. Game nr 10 features a lot of of scenes and styles that these films used.
I think I need some Densha de Go! in my life...and Highway Racing Purgatory............and a game where you can fly Miatas through space. Maybe just all that in one orgasmic sensory experience sure to go down as the best video game in history.

I just want to say, I think this was your best editing yet, 12/10
The Densha de Go ad song is actually a banger. Also, for Side by Side there's actually a progression, but you have to win in all tracks to do so. Winning all of them will unlock 3 "Original" tracks, where if you win the races in each 3 of these new tracks you'll unlock extra cars.
The guy at 47:30 is actually Masaaki Bandoh, has a decent GT300 racing team grown from his tuner shop experience and I think appeared in 4 games from the 10 shown in the stream, quite the big shot
about game #7 (or about all of them): the game (or these games) were made for the japanese market. jdm cars have a 180 kmh limiter by law, which is actually pretty well known among car guys (and all people of japan... for which this game was designed for) . when you re driving the stock cars of course your limiter is still active and you cant drive faster
The meme translations are mad. But the game is so cool and unique. I'd like to see a full playthrough of it
the initial d ps1 came out before the anime, which eurobeat became associated with it's identity. That's why the game had 90s butt rock like many Japanese racers at the time. They say hair metal died in the 90s, but it actally lived on thru Japanese games soundtracks.

Reminded of the fact there were Wangan Midnight movies in the 90s, before the Maximum Tune games, and before the 2008 anime + movie. And with eurobeat, it straight up appears in a Japan-only JGTC game as well, but then again there were quite a few Super Eurobeat mixes for JGTC in the late-90s to mid-2000s

Side by Side was actually real fun and real easy to control. I played that shit back when I had a PS1 in around 2002. It was awesome piece of game. The video that was in the 1st Side by Side (Yes, they made more than one) was to promote Taito's arcade game about driving a train and that's the Densha de Go!, a game only available in Japan that's still seeing new units now. What was interesting that you might not have known is that the Battle Gear series spawned from Side by Side.
i like how edna casually disrespect Drift King
Im actually invested in that last game's plot and yet I'm also entirely confused and dont understand a single word of Japanese.

They were scenes from a series of jdm movies called Shuto Kousoku Trial. Theres several movies, and you can find them here on yt too👍
alright listen, as a genuine Pat Benatar fan i LOST MY SHIT at those captions LMAOOOOOOOO
Bro thank you so much! It’s been like 15+ years since I played Shutoku Battle: Drift King! I couldn’t remember this game for the life of me but until I saw the intro I recognized it instantly! Much love man thank you❤❤❤
That last game looks absolutely awesome. Dude came back three hours later just to say "don't care, didn't ask".
Sweet to hear that you're dabbling in learning how to read Japanese. Kana alone goes SO FAR when it comes to menu navigation in games, since a whole lot of the time they're just english words in katakana. I lost motivation for a while cause I found it so easy to coast by with just that for games that don't have stories I'm interested in actually following.
“Your driving is unharmonious” somebody told me that my driving is exasperating
Side By Side has A LOT of Battle Gear arcade racer dna in it. 56:08 is literally akina. Wangan Trial is a game adaptation of the Shuto Kusoku Trial movies I believe.

Side by Side seems to be a precursor of Battle Gear... I used to play a lot of Battle Gear 2 at the local arcade, the western PS2 port is called "Tokyo Road Race"
The subtitles on the Wangan FMVs have major Kung Pow energy and I love it
6:05 the car straight up looks like a 2d model if you lower the resolution enough it will look like 2d

"Side By Side" was quite the pinnacle of JDM Touge experience in local arcade in mid 90's, still recognised not only in Japan but other Asian countries. Just remember, without "Side By Side" we will never get the"Battle Gear" series today but also influence the arcade development of "Initial D" arcade series in early 2000's.
The editing on this is fucking powerful lol, good shit Eden! IDK how much of an F1 nut are you, but maybe you could also consider Formula Racing games in the Playstation. You get the good stuff from Psygnosis, and then a few weird stuff too lol

Just don't play the international release. It's horrid.
50:46 two other PS1 games I recall that did that were WipEout and WipEout 2097
Wow, Side by Side. It's actually one of the racing games I've ever played fairly long enough back in my childhood. Although I didn't play it as much as GT1/GT2, but it's one of the game that I think it deserves a credit, along with Toca.
I really hope to see a video someday of you playing the Densha de Go! games, I think it’ll be hilarious.
The editing on thus one is quite humorous, absolutely loved it!
Dustin doesn't know who Keiichi Tsuchiya is? unsubbed.
Happy to see more love for Side by Side, it and the Battle Gear series (the followup to Side by Side) are some of the coolest drift racers I've played. If you do something like this again you should absolutely check out the Touge Max series, 2 and G are both excellent PS1 racing games
Man I loved Side By Side back in the day. And yes I also messed about with the illogical drift angles 😂
I played the Taito one back in kindergarten. Still remember the enthusiastic GAME OVER.
Hope there would be part 2 of this because there are a LOT more JP only racing games on PS1 Racing Lagoon being one of the most high profile of all. Made by Square, is basically Final Fantasy if it's a racer, and is probably one of the most beautiful looking games on PS1 period, as well as having some of the most bonkers story ever. Recently translated too. To list the other games - Advan Racing, Hashiriya, Touge Max games, Option Tuning Battle games, Kattobi Tune, C1 Circuit, JGTC, Race Drivin a Go Go, Racingroovy, Rally de Europe/Africa, and many, many, MANY more.
People from all over the world who have never even driven a car know the Tokyo highway system by heart thanks to Genki
The side by side game is actually a playable demo inside densha de go (the train game advertised in side by side) so kinda goes full circle lol
Yay Dustin Eden is back
"22nd of december, the same day two years ago" Uploaded 6 days ago, Checks calendar... 8th may...
Nice of you trying to learn Japanese language to get into Japanese games and trying to get japanese audiences. Bravo man ❤
10:00 - from shutoku kousoku movie series about street racers in japan, one of the best movies I’ve ever watched. But I could be wrong….
1:02:20 The subtitles are freaking awesome !!😂🤣!!
Dustin please please PLEASE more long videos of playing games!
the idea of doing this for PS2 / Dreamcast ETC is a big yes from me 👍 thank you
Wangan trial reminds me of the Megalopolis Expressway Trial movies from the 90s
you should play advan racing, is kinda like gran turismo and toca race driver had a kid lol, but is actually super fun and has quite a lot of features that i never seen in any racing game on ps1

Drift King 97 is awesome. Im still stuck by the races against Keiichi. The Saturn Version got an english fan translation 2 years ago, wich translated the cutscenes and menues. Pretty cool. Also please try Racing lagoon. Got a translation as well. Very stylish Car-pg by Squaresoft.
You should try Racing Lagoon, and some rally games for the ps2, the wrc games are amazing.
Its a beautiful day when Edna uploads
Babe wake up, new DustinEden vid just dropped.
The 180kph speed cap probably exist in that game due to JDM cars being limited to 180 kph or at least not going past that in the speedo.
Watched about half and i own all of these games so far! Drift King Shutokou Battle, you probably know now bit you need to buy a fuel cut defender to remove the 180kph limit. As a former Japanese MR2 Turbo owner, i loved this little detail. On Greatest 70s you can advance or retard the ignition timing which is another brilliant tuning detail I've not seen elsewhere. Many of these old games have issues but the passion in them is huge.
You should also try Option Tuning Car Battle, it has 3 games
Did not expect a What What in the Butt reference in 2024 but here we are
Gotta love the Locobanana on the AE86 on the second game lol. Two words that just mean "Crazy"
My first console was a PS2. My first game that I got with it was Tokyo Xtreme Racer Zero. I can’t tell you how many hours I poured into that game especially since for a while I didn’t have memory cards. I still have my PS2 today with memory cards and TXRZ. I know that C1 inner loop like the back of my hand. But it wasn’t until a couple of years ago I found out it was actually real. Import tuner challenge came out for the 360 but by the time I found out it had been years since I got rid of my 360. It would be cool if you could stream that game.
I covered Side by Side Special in a KZread video I made half a year ago. It brings me so much joy to see that someone else knew what to do with FUK
I love the spelling mistake in the first game, where it says "break" instead of "brake"
Speaking of Japanese Racing game you should DEFINITELY try Racing Lagoon by Square Enix (before they were Enix, but just Square lol). It got translated after 20 years and its one of a kind game. Basically RACING RPG! Its on PS1 btw. Just give it ago, it wont let you go lol
You should try night runners. It is a game with a 1990s personality.
the edit going on at the 12:00 mark, magical ✨
If you haven't already I'd recommend Import Tuner Challenge for the Xbox 360, kinda obscure but a fun time
finally a new upload
33:38 that's how RC cars were operated before the grip handle took over (and that is the reason why my dad was dogshit at gt1/2, controls were inversed to what he learned with rc cars)
Dustin you should check out road trip adventure part of the choro q games. It was fantastic
Hey, DE. Ever thought of giving ToCa 3 a try (or DTM 3 here in Austria and Germany)? Actually a pretty good PS2 game with a story.
Yay Edna is back :3
The first game actually made me think this would be all just low quality shovelware, but i might actually play some of these, even though i don't know a thing about japanese
Racing lagoon is a pure racing streets with JRPG style, Made by Squaresoft That resolves 90'S Japanese street racing
Bro, i remember playing this side by side game, they sold me as a Fast And Furious 2 game, than o started and this showed, but is a pretty Nice game btw
32:09 that total time is going really, really fast. Was the emulator overclocking the CPU again?

Try Bakusou Dekotora Densetsu/Art Truck Battle series (1 and 2). Its a good truck racing games
Completely unrelated but I just got gt4 and I wanted to know that your playing it on pc and not a ps2 right? Just wondering about the graphics and I'm just assuming all your gt4 videos look so good in comparison.
33:31: Omfg, these are Halo vehicle controls… in a racing game
Looks like he’s wearing an ada wong cosplay
Try bakuso dekotora densetsu/art camion geijutsuden. It has 3 series on ps1
Shitoku Battler is the Tokyo Xtreme series.
This Is On!
54:19 think you were a bit harsh here.. honestly this is very detailed in compare to other PS1 games in the west like Test Drive 5 / 6
this came on after another video at 2am while i was pretty much asleep and the volume scared the poops out of my butt
Try one of the racing rpgs in the ChoroQ series
