Densha de GO! Shinkansen: Sanyou Shinkansen-hen

2001
Simulator
This arcade-born simulator strips away the superfluous, focusing on the minute-to-minute thrill of operating a high-speed train. Precision is paramount: players must master acceleration, braking, and speed limits across a meticulously detailed route network. The satisfying rhythm of approaching stations, adhering to schedules, and the subtle challenges of weather conditions are what kept players coming back for another run.

About Densha de GO! Shinkansen: Sanyou Shinkansen-hen

Details
Densha de Go! Shinkansen: Sanyoushinkansen-hen (loosely translated to "Go by Train! Shinkansen: Sanyou Shinkansen Edition") is an electric train driving simulation game developed and published by Taito for the PlayStation 2 in Japan on September 20, 2001. It was later ported to the PC by Unbalance on December 13, 2002. A spin-off of the Densha de Go! series, Shinkansen focuses on the titular high-speed rail line San'yō Shinkansen (through the entire route both ways, between Shin-Ōsaka and Hakata). The game was later ported to the Wii as Densha de Go! Shinkansen EX: Sanyoushinkansen-hen (loosely translated to "Go by Train! Shinkansen EX: Sanyou Shinkansen Edition") on March 1, 2007. This version features a new "Kids Mode" utilizing the Wii Remote's motion control.
