    TOKYOPOP Inc. announced plans for a licensing agreement with ValuSoft, a division of THQ, to convert the popular comic/cartoon series Initial D into a driving game for the PC.

    “We are truly excited about the engaging interactive component ValuSoft will add to the Initial D experience,” said Stuart Levy, TOKYOPOP Founder and CEO. “By creating this PC-based game, we’re bringing fans even closer to Initial D’s intense drifting action by letting them take their own virtual drive through Mount Akina’s hairpin curves.”

    “ValuSoft is very pleased to be working with TOKYOPOP on the premier Initial D PC game,” said ValuSoft President Doug Clemmer. “As one of the leaders in the racing genre, we can’t wait to bring Initial D’s street racing scenes to a whole new level for fans and gamers.”

    Initial D is scheduled for release on the PC in early 2004.

    I've seen the Initial D game on the arcade... if the pc game looks the same... it doesn't look like the N4S series games...

    the Initial D arcade machine looks like the screens from the PC game "Midnight Club".
