Ubisoft announced a few minutes ago that they would release Import Tuner Challenge exclusively on Xbox 360 this Autumn. This game is in fact the US/PAL version of Genki's Tokyo Racer X. First images and videos inside.
Im a bit confuse with the name, Shutokou Battle X/Tokyo Extreme Racing/Import Tuner Challenge, whatever. Anyway, I find the fact that Ubisoft pick a lot of japanese games an bring them to America(Over G Fighters, Enchanted Arms and this)very cool, hopefully the'll pick up games like Spectral Force 3 and Rebirth Moon.
The TXR nvr looked jaw dropping good, so iono why ppl complaining about the graphics. Genkai doesn't have the money to bust out with some GT4 or Forza 2 looking games, so you can get over that. TXR has always been fun game to play and aslways afforadable. So I can't wait to pick this up this Fall. Also my guess for the name change is that in america they have a car mod magazine called "Import Tuner" its pretty well known here with the import car fans. So by giving this name it will have a greater appeall and maybe ppl will think its associated with the mag. And to be honest even doh I love this series, most ppl don't know junk about TXR. So they wouldn't that import tuner is really TXR. Its just like street supremecy that they released to the psp. They changed the name when it came over from TXR to that, and most ppl didnt think anything about it. Now that game was junk, but you get my drift. In the end ppl wont care bout the name, and both ppl in america and europe that been waiting for this will get this game regardless
Finally!!! Why would they hold it back for so long, was starting to lose hope :).. I´ll buy it as soon as it´s in stores... been waiting since zero! WOHOO!!
Don't like the name change very much. "Import Tuner Challenge" just sounds so generic. The game looks pretty nice in these new videos though. Have they said what the online play is going to be like?
If it isnt gonna be messed with by ubisoft, it should be like what tokyo extreme racer was. Try to stay in front of your opponent, and his health bar will diminish, if you fall behind, your health bar will fall too. The winner is the racer that stays in the front the longest.
