Initial D featured Japanese racing and was written and illustrated by Shuichi Shigeno.
The series first launched in the mid-90s but has since been adapted into movies, anime, and games. Initial D has continued to delight fans for decades. The graphics and gameplay have considerably improved, which gives players a more realistic experience. The battle mode, where players can compete against others inside the arcade, features the first driving competition of this type for the series in a game. The game puts users in a race against four other drivers. The promotional images for the upcoming game showed four arcade cabinets in a single line together. The game is an arcade experience where players sit in an interactive arcade cabinet equipped with what one would find in a car: steering wheel, manual controls, and an adjustable seat. SEGA announced Initial D the Arcade during a livestream earlier in July. During a time when many publishers and developers are choosing to release games digitally, so gamers stay home, the company wants to put players back in the driver’s seat. SEGA has announced a brand new arcade based on the car racing series Initial D.
