Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune (湾岸ミッドナイト MAXIMUM TUNE, Wangan Middonaito Makishimamu Chūn) is an arcade racing game based on the manga Wangan Midnight, which follows street racing on Tokyo's Metropolitan highway.

The latest edition in the series is Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3DX. There will be an upgrade, entitled Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3 DX Plus(WMMT3DX+), which would be released on March 31st,2010.

Overview

Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune

In the original version, the gameplay is split into two modes, namely the story mode and the time attack mode. The player has to go through the story mode in order to earn points to upgrade their car, should they decide to use a magnetic card to store the information.

The entire story mode consists of 20 stages looped for three times, making a total of 60 stages. The maximum power a car can attain is 810 hp (600 kW). The routes featured include the C1 route and the New Belt Line, making a total of 4 tracks as each one is available in the opposite direction.

Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 2

The first upgrade of the original game, entitled "Maximum Tune 2," saw the addition of Hakone, the 10 outrun game mode, a class system and some more choices on tuning the car. The story mode has been expanded to 80 stages (with stage 41-80 based on the plots in the manga), and a change in awarding the vehicle upgrades.

The car attains a maximum of 800 hp (600 kW) when the player completes the first 40 stages of the game, but he may choose to continue the entire 80 stages in the story mode. Should he completes the story mode without a loss, he gains 2 extra tuning pages, and 1 if he had lost during the challenge. A patch is available later on the cabinet also known as Version B, and awards the extra tuning page to the latter one if the car has completed 5000 km.

The 10 outrun mode is played such that the player needs to overtake 10 opponents in quick succession. There are 10 levels available in each route, each successive level has an increase on power and difficulty. A player unlocks a special level when completing all other levels in the highest rank on a given track, which involves outrunning the entire list of opponents.

The tracks featured in this game include the C1 route, New Belt Line, Hakone, a narrow and winding mountain road, and the Tokyo Metropolitan Highway. There are 7 courses total, each being in the opposite direction except for the TMH.

Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3

The third iteration of the series saw a large expanding to the game, which includes several tracks, an expanded lineup of cars, a new game mode, ghost car system and an extensive collection of visual parts. The game is now run on System N2, which the older cabinets can be upgraded to.[1]

The story mode still consists of 80 stages, but are now fully integrated with the story. The tuning system is tweaked as well such that it awards the 3 extra tuning pages to the player when he completes stage 50, 60 and 80 respectively, regardless of being undefeated or not. This means that the car will have 820 hp (610 kW) at maximum. As with the previous editions, this is the only game mode that the player will earn points for upgrading the car in terms of performance.

The ghost battle mode is the newly added game mode in this iteration. In this mode the player is pitted against a ghost car recorded earlier in the game. Like the 10 outrun mode, the opponents are separated into 10 classes based on the power level. As a player plays the level, his driving is recorded and becomes the data of a ghost car.

A particular part of the ghost battle mode is to challenge the best ghost, recorded from the drive of the top player. If a player manages to beat the best ghost, his drive becomes the best ghost on the track instead and is featured on the "Top Driver" screen in the demo mode. Playing the ghost battle mode allows the player to earn parts to enhance the appearance of their car, including various wheels, aero sets, spoilers, neon tubes, and decals.

The tracks featured include the C1, New Belt Line, the Wangan line, the Yokohane line, the Hanshin Expressway in Osaka and Hakone. The Wangan line and the Yokohane line are extended stages based on the Metropolitan highway, and forms the Kanagawa portion of the highway. There are 13 courses available, with each (with the exception of Osaka, Tokyo Metropolitan, and Kanagawa Metropolitan) being in the opposite direction.

Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3 DX

In December 2008,the next edition in the Maximum Tune series, entitled Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3 DX, was released. The new features included the new Nagoya Expressway course, an increasement of horsepower to 825 hp (615 kW), 100 story stages and even more of them, and new vehicles: Subaru Impreza WRX STI (GRB), Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X MR[2], Mazda MX-5[3] and Nissan 370Z. Also a new feature is a mechanism that prevents players from making copies of the game's magnetic cards.

Some changes had been observed:

  • Version 1 and version 2 data cards can't be transferred over, only version 3 data cards can be transferred over.
  • There is an additional "DX" printed on top right of the data card to differentiate between MT3 and 3DX cards
  • Official car in Time Attack mode is removed.
  • Shaded MT3 cards are unshaded when transferred over, giving players a chance to finish the uncompleted stages in story mode undefeated without having to start over from stage 1.
  • In version C. of MT3DX, if you get defeated anywhere in storymode, you will be shaded regardless of unshaded status.[citation needed]
  • Hakone outbound and inbound are combined into one course in time attack mode

Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3 DX Plus

Maximum Tune 3 DX Plus sees the addition of the KPGC10 Nissan Skyline GT-R and the Nissan GT-R into the vehicle lineup, the new Fukuoka Expressway Course, 17 new dress up parts for players to further customize their vehicles, and 4 new music tracks. It is to be noted that the GT-R cannot be dressed up. The game was released in March 2010.

Magnetic Card System

Like Initial D Arcade Stage, this game employs magnetic cards that store the data of the player (car type, tuning, story mode progress, time attack, outrun status). Also as in Initial D, it is not backwards compatible (i.e. a WMMT2 card cannot be used on WMMT1); the user must upgrade his or her card, which is permanent, if he wishes to transfer his/her data from WMMT1 onto WMMT2, and after 50 plays (60 in WMMT2), a player must renew his/her card. However, unlike Initial D, once a player completes 20 story mode stages in WMMT2, his/her card will be ejected, but retain the game data as a back up. This allows for two clone cards, or "discards," each with up to 20 points of tuning to be made. The discards will be of the same car model and color. Name, rims, and Aero/carbon-parts tuning can be chosen again (unless driving a car with only one setting, namely the Corolla and Hiace {Only in Maximum Tune 2; these vehicles are customizable like the normal vehicles in MT3/MT3DX}). In Version 3Dx however it will change to a PRESENT card, where the current setting (example HP, dress-up) will be allowed for 5 plays before it changes to a normal discarded. Note also it has only allows 1 "discards" instead of 2 in version 3.

The player has the option of purchasing a magnetic card or select a car prior to racing, with the basic horsepower value and name; In version 3Dx the name will be "GUEST" if the player did not input any characters during the naming option.

In the WMMT series, the magnetic card also allows the user to configure basic settings prior to racing. These include:

  • Transmission AT/MT
  • Retire YES/NO (Applicable in ALL MODES)
  • Volume (There are 4 settings: off, minimum, mild, loud, this only affects the bgm as stated VOLUME)
  • 3 Types Of Tachometer (including the default meter of the car), which only applies to cars with an undefeated story mode record in MT2 transferred to MT3 (Racing Meter), or has an undefeated story mode record in MT3DX (Special Meter).
  • Soundtracks of 3 choices (Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune 3 DX/3 , Wangan Midnight Maximum Tune / 2, and Wangan Midnight R)
  • (NEW) Password data to be print on the card option : NONE, Mileage, Time Attack
  • (NEW) Players are unable to copy cards, due to the new Anti-Copy system
