Did you know that you could've gotten the 11000RPM Mecha tuned 86 from initial D if you just held the start button before entering that specific dealership
One of my favorite racers on PS2, and a great sequel to the Side By Side series. A nice middle ground between Ridge Racer and Gran Turismo, it's a Touge racer and more realistic than RR, but still arcade style and not overly sim-like.
@Houki Chan That`s actually the only difference. Atsuro Kawai actually drove an R34 GT-Turbo (which is like a GT-R but is rear wheel drive and had less horsepower).
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS GAME FOR HOURS (LITERALLY) holy fucking shit i used to spend a lot of time at the local arcade playing this absolute masterpiece with my dad
@purwantiallan5089 but the AI is so good and the time limit so difficult that you need a perfect run just to finish the course. That's why Im glad that battle gear 3 is a bit more forgiving
Oh man I remember playing this when i was grade 6 in the arcade here in the phillipines back in 2001 i think and i always pick the honda motors the honda eg6 and pretending to be shingo in initial d uhhh memories well umm its pretty good game while umm the battle gear 3 is much better but i would rather playing the 3 because of the gameplay but hey it's pretty cool game
Best racing game in terms of handling and car sounds. Just wish it had more JDM cars like the Nissan 300ZX, Honda CRX SiR and Mitsubishi Eclipse just to name a few.
xTimelessGaming , Does PCSX2 allow PS2 system link over iLink / Firewire for this title ( PAL = Tokyo Road Race ) or do emulators support any PS2 linking or ethernet network mode ?
Despite not being as difficult as Side by Side, it still requires a lot of skill to drive well through those passes. The biggest problem however is the fact, that it ain't that easy to unlock extra tracks and bonus cars.
So I'm trying to run this game on PCSX2, and it's doing this weird thing where the cars are all being rendered to the right of where they're supposed to be. Anybody know how I could fix this?
Man, I remember coming to the arcade just to play this pretending to be Takumi!
Same.

@@bako-dagree.
@@Bryan0411BATTLE GEAR 2 on PS2 still legendary.
The intro, menus, background it all comes together this is the game I played as a child and now found it thanks to you ❤
I ever played this at Timezone in 2020.

Yep. Shame even Gran Turismo 7 cant match Battle Gear 2 in terms of "BE FUN" gameplay.
I remember this game, i play this on arcade in Timezone center. One of the best japanese 🇯🇵 arcade racing 2000s i've ever playing, very nostalgic 👍
Me too. I ever played 25 arcade games in Timezone. Back then, there were 100 arcade games that can be played.
Man that intro with the FD3S kinda reminds me of Initial D
because Battle Gear/Side by Side are Taito's answer to Initial D
The intro is actually a homage to the second battle in Initial D: Fourth Stage against Seven Star Leaf`s Atsuro Kawai.
@Houki Chan That`s actually the only difference. Atsuro Kawai actually drove an R34 GT-Turbo (which is like a GT-R but is rear wheel drive and had less horsepower).
@@marcdomingocruz7148imagine if "JUNGLE FIRE" from Motsu & Yu Serizawa also added on BATTLE GEAR 2.
I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS GAME FOR HOURS (LITERALLY) holy fucking shit i used to spend a lot of time at the local arcade playing this absolute masterpiece with my dad
I won 38 races in total on this game alone.
Great physics for a game this old!! Spent a lot of time playing this when I was a student
OMG ! MY childhood. I played this at my local Arcade during 2001. !
Coco Hayashi and Ayumu Uehara and Ai Miyashita also ever played BATTLE GEAR 2 together near Nijigasaki School in 2022.
Still remembered playing this with my friends back when I was in high school
Me Too Remembered Played This with My Hs Sped Classmate Friends Back When I Was in Hs at Philippines.
I often used the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution V but sometimes I used a Toyota Supra
I always using the Nissan S15,Mazda FC and FD :D
@Damar Fadlan Me!!!
@@marcdomingocruz7148 yep.
The attract scene is forever ingraved in my mind when I was a little child looking at the arcade
Yep. The sense of speed in BATTLE GEAR 2 also fantastic.
@purwantiallan5089 but the AI is so good and the time limit so difficult that you need a perfect run just to finish the course. That's why Im glad that battle gear 3 is a bit more forgiving
2023, BATTLE GEAR 2 on both Arcades and PS2 are still great game surprisingly!
I Love this Game my Memories
Oh man I remember playing this when i was grade 6 in the arcade here in the phillipines back in 2001 i think and i always pick the honda motors the honda eg6 and pretending to be shingo in initial d uhhh memories well umm its pretty good game while umm the battle gear 3 is much better but i would rather playing the 3 because of the gameplay but hey it's pretty cool game
Rifle Productions I’m a Filipino too and I still see this at my local mall and I play it a lot as well
Same, especially in Robinsons Metro East as a lil child watching the demo
There's an arcade of this in my town. I am so happy by that. And also a Battle gear 4. EVEN MORE HAPPIER
@Kurara Yuki クララユキ sadly it's getting old and hard for them to maintenance, someday they will change it with some pachinko machies :(
@Kurara Yuki クララユキ gotta use it while it's still there.
0:15 hey look its keisuke
懐かしすぎる!
ゲーセンでよく遊んだなぁ
The intro: my r34 vs keisuke
Tokyo Road Race was so cool
Best racing game in terms of handling and car sounds. Just wish it had more JDM cars like the Nissan 300ZX, Honda CRX SiR and Mitsubishi Eclipse just to name a few.
Gran Turismo 7 should learn from this example.
GT7 doesn't need to be anything like this@@purwantiallan5089
I remember play this game in a arcade machine when I has 4 years old :).
Just bought this (Tokyo Road Race it's called in PAL) on PS2!
Oh such memories such a good game
BATTORU GEEAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!
I play this game on the arcade.
Just played this in my local arcade.
Won a racing bet with a Downhill run using the FC!
Me too. Ayumu and Shioriko also played BATTLE GEAR 2 on a local arcade recently?
xTimelessGaming ,
Does PCSX2 allow PS2 system link over iLink / Firewire for this title ( PAL = Tokyo Road Race ) or do emulators support any PS2 linking or ethernet network mode ?
Anybody know?
ps2 emulators do support online on ethernet, although i don't think there is any iLink support
Intro music - Helloween?
This game reminds me of Gran Turismo 3 A-Spec.
Cool! There is My Lodi Cars with My Favorite is Gray Toyota Supra from Wangan Midnight Use Played for Battle Gear Part 2.
The car you are pertaining to is actually the "Monster" Supra driven by Keiichiro Aizawa.
Mine is The R34
@@marcdomingocruz7148 yep.
@@starguardianahri4224 yep.
My favorites are the NSX Type S and the Silvia S15.

I also want to play Battle Gear 2 on PCSX2. What are the settings? Please let me know because mine has a bad problem.
How do I map the buttons to my keyboard cuz I have no ps2 controller
this is initial d but without any story. just pure racing
Battle Gear is nothing more than a precursor to the Initial D Arcade Stage series.
@@bloodedge1528 is it really
@@bako-d no they came out around the same time, not really connected besides having the same tracks and cars
Kaido Battle and Battle Gear infinite times better than Arcade Stage garbage
That was Awesome games better than MAME Emulator
This game looks very familiar to another game which you uploaded a video of a few months ago?
Yea it's the same game mate. This is the Japanese version. :P
You can use the steering wheel for anytime, just like a real car.
Is this game compatible with steering wheel ?
頭文字Dの映画記念でSEGAで大会あったな
Man no shit but...
You have to choose the car that has the maximum amount of power like the Toyota Supra (280 MAX POWER)
330hp...
R34 Is OP But the Problem is
Very Decent Handling Which Means Not Good For
Sprint Races cuz of its corners
Besta racing game ever!!!
