Description
Released in 2005, this entry is dedicated entirely to the San'yō Shinkansen, which links Shin-Osaka to Hakata. The high speeds demand braking that must be planned far in advance, and the Shinkansen-specific controls require genuine relearning compared to the classic train entries.

Is Densha de Go! Shinkansen - San'you Shinkansen-hen still worth playing in 2026?
A high speed entry in Taito's series, Densha de Go! Shinkansen devoted to the San'yo line has you drive Japanese bullet trains with a sharp demand for managing speed, braking and centimetre precise station stops. The feel of piloting the Shinkansen, the line's fidelity and the tension of long distances create a specialised, exhilarating experience. The austerity and the lack of localisation close off access. A sharp simulation to recommend for fans of high speed trains.
