The SECRET Version of Need for Speed Underground
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 23 มิ.ย. 2024
- Need for Speed Underground was still one of my favourite racing games ever, but in my Need for Speed Underground retrospective I didn't mention this strange version, as I wanted to give it it's own video. So now, 20 years on, this is Need for Speed Underground J, also known as Need for Speed Underground J Tune, a strange Japanese version of NFSU!

Circle means confirm in Japan, for example on a school test sheet, instead of a ✔️ for correct answer, it would be a circle.
Europe tests or any application documents have this too even today.
O is a positive selection and X is a negative selection (cancellation).
You circle the correct or desired answer but for some reason the games controls were swapped entirely for the rest of the world and in this case Europe and Oceania too.
reason O is accept and X is back is because O means ok and X means not ok in japan, thats why it feels wrong for most people.
About the circle as confirm in the Japanese version:
yes. it's one of their things. when Metal Gear Solid was localized for the western release they kept this in.
TXRD2 and GT4 also do this, but allow you to use either the x or o buttons
Even Gran Turismo has X and Round for the confirm button to not confuse any Western or Eastern peeps
@@xasumijiis from the original one, and there's a fun detail on GT2 when changing colors, X does right to left, while O does left to right
Yep, that is the first thing I thought of. I remember having my mind blown when I first played MGS on the PS1 and the button mapping was so unconventional and my friend told me that is how they did it in Japan.
yeah i remember gundam breaker 3 on the ps4 was like this as well. wondering if gb4 coming in a couple months will be the same, or if they'll switch it for the us release
3:22 As mentioned by others, it's common to have Circle as confirm in Japan (I think EU as well) for Japanese PS consoles. It was actually a little controversial when PS5 forced everyone to adapt to "X to confirm" control scheme.
6:18 In addition, Underground was the first game in the series in Japan that uses the "Need for Speed" name rather than the former localized title "Over Drivin'".
funnily enough PS4s are (i think) can be configured as a global settings. I played an English version of CODBOCW PS4 at my friends home and surprised that O is confirm and X is cancel.
its pretty funny to think about that early 2000s JDM culture essentially went full circle going back to japan in the form of movie/game media
Initial D really helped out with JDM culture for sure.
In the future please get PCSX2 Nightly as it is significantly better than the 1.6.0 release and has many more features.
I second this. I feel some of the games running on it run better then original version and doesn't drop frames lot.
I played re outbreak on original and i can barely run it with frames dropping and nightly fixed it making the game much more smoothly
bro using the stable build of pcsx2 💀
What's the problem with that?
@@MrRorosaoit's abandoned, you're supposed to use the nightly build, even the download site says that
@@ethanwayne6973 Not abandoned, but outdated. New stable build is expected soon.
4:22 swear ive heard this dude's voice before in yakuza
frfrfrfrfr
bruh goro majima i think
Hey, you know another obsure NFS Underground version? It's the arcade version. And, like F&F arcade game, its also similar in style but different HUD, custom tracks, cars with preset customization, a fixed camera movement while you drift, etc. I hope you check that out :)
OMG WELD AND KAZAMA AUTOSTICKERS IN THE GAME IS INSANE ACTUALLY 😮
Wow I didn't know there was a japanese version of Need For Speed Underground. Super cool! Still my favorite NFS game too. Cool video, I went and gave ya a sub!
Wow, as a NFS guru, i never knew this was available to play.
I had some weird crack versions on my pc back in the day .But this takes the crown.
I also played UnderGround 2 Sha_Do
They also did it for Underground 2 even has special version cover and Melissa 350 replaced with that special livery for Japanese
All Japanese games are reversed by X and O and i have this game has a few subtle changes but not very much different from the original
Great video!
Thats interesting, i swear that Skull finish somewhere else before.. Is it in the UG2 art factory section?
If you worked at the EA Games buliding (back in the 2000's) in Burnaby, British Columbia, Canada, you might have missed out on buying the game through their workplace kiosk.
excellent video
You should check Underground 2 Sha_Do edition
Will very much do an episode on that when it turns 20!
This game shouldn't be that shocking for japanies peoples afther cross promo txr and fast and furious
4:28 Good Tuna 👍
Is the Skyline blue in the game or just the cover?
I bought the copy like 10 years ago just for curiosity
Do you have pics of your collection on your socials or anywhere?
Waiting to grab one or two more copies of Underground and Underground 2 before posting a pretty beefy collection photo.
@@avronaworld Sweet where can I follow you? I have a pretty substantial NFS collection myself if you’re interested?
NFS underground 1 and 2 PS2 version is kinda stretched horizontically and kinda off. PC is still its best version
No shit, there just isn't a better way than playing ps2 on a old tv anyway imo 😂
"more easier way" ... most of us in Europe and Asia had chipped PS1 and PS2 since day one running any format or region you could think of ... emulation is literal garbage unless you waste days setting up each time for a specific game to run good enough or at all not to mention that you waste more electricity with running a PC
Especially nowadays even basic things on PC fry my electric bill also hog / fry components let alone running apps or games. (example I lost about 4 GPUs due to GTA5 alone for almost 6 years ...)
Thank you for keeping this video under 10 minutes not like others making hour plus long videos about a game that barely have any valuable or even new info about it ...
All PlayStation generation JP games always had better packaging quality then the rest of the world. Europe was the cheapest market and it pretty much shows since plenty of times we got black and white prints with barely any images in some releases. Sometimes I couldnt tell wtf am I even looking at when they included a screenshot or render of sorts.
The very same reason why I loved making my own packaging design.
The buttons layout originally goes like Square is a map button, Circle is "accept" selection and main action button, X is a cancel button, Triangle is a extra action option button. Select is main select button but not many games utilize it for such things. For some reason ALL this was swapped for the rest of the world. Even tho the OG layout makes perfect sense I got use to the other ways so cant play like that for the life of me ... since most games I played were PAL (Europe and Oceania) and NTSC (US CA).
Emulation has come a long way in recent years, it doesn't take much effort to get them running these days
@@haydenratcliffe1138I have no idea what condition is that guy living in. Seems kinda harsh
Steam deck runs any PS2 game at 3x native out of the box without configuration while drawing 25w
Honestly your GPU issues seem more like you have an unsafe power supply, I have never had a GPU fail since I started playing on PC in 2011 except my 2011 iMac's (known defect that Apple just denies)
The default settings of PCSX2 should also always be able to play the game, though it will have no enhancements other than framerate.
you have no clue what you're talking about
