Tokyo Xtreme Racer, known as Shutokō Battle[1] in Japan, is an arcade-style racing video game series created by Genki, inspired by street racing on the Shuto Expressway in Tokyo. Its first installment, Shutokō Battle '94: Drift King, was released in 1994 for the Super Famicom, while the latest installment is Shutokou Battle Xtreme, for iOS and Android in 2017; in 2024, Genki announced a new entry, the first console racing game in 18 years, for PC, with a planned 2025 release.[2]
While the series was most commonly localized under the name Tokyo Xtreme Racer, when published by Crave Entertainment, other publishers have given certain installments entirely different names, such as Tokyo Highway Battle when published by Jaleco and THQ International; Import Tuner Challenge by Ubisoft; and even Street Supremacy when released by Konami. There is also a sub-series named Kaido Battle which focuses on Touge racing and drifting.
