INITIAL D Street Stage (Japan Version) for PSP

Just in time for the Japanese release of the Initial D movie, Sega has a PSP version of its hit arcade racer Initial D Arcade Stage. Initial D Street Stage will be based off Version 3 of the arcade game, giving it some gameplay bonuses over Sega's successful PS2 version. Street Stage has all the characters, cars and tracks from Version 3 of the arcade game, and then some. In addition to wireless ad-hoc play, the game will include a new card element. Following each battle, you earn a card. Cards come in three flavors: rival, battle and tuning. The rival and battle cards are just for show, giving details, respectively, on the characters and classic battles from the series. The tuning cards, however, contribute to gameplay, as you can combine these to customize your car. In all, Street Stage will feature over 200 cards to collect.
