no Initial D games made the home ports in the EU.

theres a good chance the PS3 version (which is a reworking of ID4) will do. The JP version is out on the 3 of July.

they had the sitdown at Manchester but no one played it so they took the bastard away. pfft kids have no taste

Both Initial D and Wangan Midnight for that matter will never see a release out of Japan, dunno about nintendo hand helds though. these games have alot of text and speach and they cannot be bothered to convert it and few even know/appreciate the series.
As for the ps3 release I highly doubt it will be released out of Japan.
Well, ok a (HK) Asia might be possible.
But who cares? you can get the Japanese version and play it on every ps3 known to man. I know I will! It's my most highly anticipated game to get. This and BlazBlue offcourse.
I got the Japanese ps2 Initial D, which is great and cheap below 20 eur from yesasia. I alos have Wangan Midnight for ps3 which is not as great, but still a underappreciated game IMHO. The ps1 Initial D I never played, it's probably reasonable, not great, but not supre bad either. Good luck!
There's also the psp version of Initial D.

Wangan Midnight for ps3
yeah alot were fooled into thinking it was the arcade game.... was deffinately not the case.
Damn Tim, you know there are quite a few Americans out there who still lives in tents due to this shitty economy, and you're dropping loads on a single game which only last 20 min. Do you think it's fair? How much did you spend this time?
