Racing fans might have something to look forward to on the DS, as whispers of an Initial D game have been fluttering around the intertubes. Don't get too excited, though; this tidbit is still in the "rumor" category. News of this game coming to the DS was originally deemed a hoax, but screens have recently popped up supporting the argument. Did the hoax just get more elaborate, or are these screens legitimate? Only time will tell, but we're hoping for the latter.For those of you unfamiliar with the series, Initial D is based on Japanese street racing, but takes place in mountainous areas rather than city streets. Is anyone hoping to see this hit the DS, or are you indifferent?
Also, you can check past the break for more of the alleged screens.

As long as car customizations, nifty touches, mult/singlepak sharing/wifiplay are included, this should be cool.

I was crazy about the arcade versions, and I'd really like to see this one on the DS. The screens look really nice; I wonder how many cars are planned [hopefully more than just one track, too].

Heck yeah! I once bought the GBA Initial D game out of curiosity- it SUCKED because it had no actual racing in it. About time a real Initial D game came to a Nintendo console (it would be nice to have one for the Wii too).

I really would like to see this on the DS. The psp version was only in Asian language. I hope this one will be in the English language also.
Takumiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii :D

My only concern about an American version is that they might use the bastardized Tokyopop names, which I can't stand ("K.T."? What, because Americans are too stupid to be able to pronounce "Keisuke"?)
