Densha de Go! Shinkansen Sanyō Shinkansen-hen

Notes:

Coverage included the Sanyō Shinkansen and Hakata Minami Line.

Again, this version featured a significantly different graphics engine.

Innovations included graphic interludes which showed routine passenger activities and the optional ability to see both the train from the outside and see a detailed, 3-dimensional cab view from the inside.

Breaking the trend to this point, this title demanded more exact driving by the user - often as little as half a second to correctly respond to speed limit change indications.

Despite the intrinsic appeal of being able to drive a train at over 300 km/h, this version suffers from somewhat repetitive gameplay, as the Sanyo shinkansen consists of a fairly monotonous series of tunnels and viaducts.

Re-released in updated form in 2007 for the Wii as Densha de Go! Shinkansen EX Sanyō Shinkansen-hen (電車でGO！新幹線EX 山陽新幹線編).
