#2 - Initial D: Extreme Stage (Playstation 3)
When the PS3 first came out, I was so interested in the possibilities of a region-free gaming console. I had some import Game Boy games but I never had the opportunity to try out modern, Japanese games as they were coming out -- until I started experimenting with the PS3! I bought the Asian version of a few games (Demon's Souls and Siren: New Translation come to mind) because they had English subs and translations, but I ultimately chose the more expensive Japanese version when it came to Initial D: Extreme Stage. While cheaper, the Asian version of Extreme Stage didn't have an online mode so I figured I'd go for the more complete version. The joke's on me because I never ended up playing the online mode anyways, lol. I played a lot of the arcade game back in my DDR days but never checked out the anime until maybe 2018, so the series occupied a certain part of my mind where I had an interest but most of what I knew about it was still rooted in my imagination. It's a pretty cool place to be. I still occasionally pop this one in and play, but I've never given it the time it really deserves. I think part of that's because I really suck at the game. ^^;;
