The way it worked for a long time is that trains have emergency brake valves mounted on the side and there are mechanical "trippers" or "train stops" on the side of the track that will stick up if the track signal is red or if you are going too fast. It's increasingly being computerized of course, with the train itself automatically stopping if it detects a violation.

The reason it says "Densya" is because of different standards of how Japanese characters are converted (or "romanized") into English letters. Most of us are familiar with what is known as "Hepburn-shiki", where certain characters like しゃ are written as "sha". But in another system "Kunrei-shiki", しゃ becomes "sya". The Japanese government officially uses and prefers Kunrei, but most other people prefer or are just used to Hepburn. So that's why it says "Densya" and not "Densha". Love ya Uncle Derek!!

To add, while Hepburn makes a lot more phonetic sense to someone who natively uses the alphabet in english, there is still a logic to kunrei especially for native japanese. While 'sya' may look strange, in japanese that sound is denoted with しゃ or 'shi' followed by a small 'ya'. The english 's' indicates it's of the 'sa s(h)i su se so' characters and the 'ya' indicates the ゃ as well as the final vowel sound (as opposed to something like 'syo' しょ). I still vastly prefer Hepburn though.

So like… 続ける would be romanized as tudukeru? It makes sense for native speakers but man that feels very weird.

I went and looked up the protocol for the controller and it's slightly insane. On the Playstation, it always holds up and down on the dpad, then uses triangle, left, and right as three bits for the power lever and L1, L2, R1, and R2 as four bits for the brake. So if you pull back to power 5 you should go straight, then 2 and 4 let you turn. What's really weird is they use this sort of crazy mapping on every console, even though most of them let you say "yo I'm a weird game specific controller" natively.

Came here to mostly say this, although as I understand it Hepburn, or specifically Revised Hepburn, has overtaken other methods of romanisation, and in January it was proposed to make Hepburn the official romanisation system of Japan, replacing Kunrei-shiki, which is officially the standard but not really used as much. All railway station signage uses Hepburn these days too, which made visiting railway museums interesting as old signs taken from stations have different romanisation methods on.

I own the original Densha de Go! Plug & Play (which happens to be the second version, as the first one apparently had some issues), and it's a really impressive device. It's not simply "based" on the PS2 controller for Densha de Go!, it's actually a self-contained re-release of DdG! Final, making it possibly the most ambitious device of its type. While every other company was doing devices for old arcade, NES, SNES, Genesis, PC-Engine, & 80s micro computer games, Taito just goes "Yeah, well OUR plug-&-play device is for a PS2 game!".

Best part - that controller can be soft-modded to add back missing jingles from the PS2 release, and you can add controller functionality to the USB port so that it can also be used as a Densha de Go controller on PC.

For anyone crazy enough to care, the reason the US doesn't have bullet trains is they are extraordinarily expensive and only cost-efficient with very large, consistent volumes of passengers over fairly short distances. High-speed railroad tracks are far more expensive than standard rail tracks because they have to be fabricated to higher standards, and they require more frequent maintenance and repair/replacement. The cost for both is compounded and grows exponentially over longer distances, and especially over mountainous/hilly terrain. You need the extreme degree of population density (large quantity of people in geographically small areas) that countries like Japan and China have in their megalopolis regions (massive immediately adjacent cities with little to no empty countryside that has gradual elevation changes between them) to justify them. The United States is too large (geographic size wise) to support high-speed rail cross-continent at cost-effective rates, especially when air travel is far cheaper, faster (planes fly at over 500 miles per hour to the 125-150 miles per hour of bullet trains), and more efficient across the continent. And given our American independent spirit (the reason people want cars is for the high degree of autonomy and freedom they grant to individuals and nuclear families), public transport of any type is not popular in the country. The only place in the US that could theoretically use high-speed rail is the megatropolis line from Boston to New York to Philadelphia to Baltimore to Washington DC. Even then, Amtrack (a regular passenger train corporation in the States) already operates on that geographic line and is so infrequently used by the public that it operates at a constant loss and is propped up by government subsidy. The US actually *DID* have an existing high-speed rail line, the Metroliner, which has been discontinued as of 2006 due to low volume of passengers, which starved the line of funds necessary to repair and keep-up the infrastructure and trains. The issue is much the same as the constant dumb complaints I hear about the US having slow internet. US internet is slower than Europe or Japan/China because the US is physically large with large sparsely populated areas that cannot justify high-cost/high-maintenance connection types like fiber-optic cables surrounding islands of cities. You can go hundreds of miles (especially in the Midwest and Intermountain West) without finding a town over a few thousand people large. Europe, Japan, and China by comparison are among the most densely populated places on the planet, with short distances between massive cities and countryside areas that also have high density populations, and so have shorter distances to send and receive data and can afford fiber optic cables in greater number over longer distances.

A few people have already commented on why it's written "densya", but I want to add a bit more explanation. The difference in Kunrei (densya) vs Hepburn (densha) romanization is basically a difference of romanizing for consistency vs romanizing for pronunciation. The 'sha' portion of "densha" is written しゃ, which is a 'shi' し modified by a small 'ya' ゃ to make the sound 'sha'. That's why in Kunrei it's written as 'sya', to match the 'ya' や character even though it's pronounced 'sha'. This goes for all "yō-on", where a character is modified by a small 'y-' group character, and is therefore written with a 'y' in Kunrei. There are a few different pronunciation mismatchs to keep in mind when reading Kunrei.

6:12 This is because there's a multitude of way to convert Japanese into the Latin alphabet. "電車" when converted to the phonetic hiragana system is "でんしゃ", and there's a multitude of ways you could then convert this the Latin alphabet. "densya" is one of the more straightforward ways, since you're basically just writing out the names of the hiragana characters: de-n-shi-ya. "shi-ya" becomes "sya" because these two characters are actually being mashed together to make a single combined sound, as indicated by the "ya" being written smaller than it normally is (compare "や" to "ゃ"). When this happens, the last half of the first character isn't pronounced, so it sorta makes logical sense to replicate this phenomenon when using the Latin alphabet, by shortening "shi" to "s".

One issue controllers like this might have when staring a game is, because they may be set up as if they are already inputting a command, the deadzone can be off or it takes it as an input always being on. That is, if you hold right on a controller when you started a game, or plugged a controller in while holding right while the game was running, you may find yourself constantly spinning. Either it will take it as the input is always on, or it will take it as a new deadzone resulting in "right" being neutral and "neutral" being left. I used this as a trick for one of the super smash bros challenges where you had to defeat hundreds of enemies to unlock something. The tips said use rubber bands or tape to hold down and b for donkey kong (floor slap). I simply held up and b when plugging in a controller.

"Densya de Go!" is a case of there being multiple ways to Romanize Japanese into English characters, and the system that English speakers tend to prefer (used on Wikipedia for example) is different to the system that Japanese speakers find more intuitive (used on, perhaps, the side of a Japan-only game case).

You should have started with the translated N64 version as it has a super clear in-game tutorial which really helps everything make sense, specially for first time players! Otherwise you really don’t know what’s going on, as there are plenty of things you may be doing wrong without having any clue. I played plenty of versions during the years, and it wasn’t until I followed the tutorials on the translated N64 version that I really started to know what was going on exactly 😂

45:55 It's okay Derek, you've simply immersed yourself so deeply in the Japanese train-controller life that you've shed the need for Western worries like cars or localized game titles.

I've recently watched a video about railway accidents in Japan and it portrayed being a train driver in Japan as an extremely stressful job, partly caused by draconic company policies.

I played Train Sim World 3 (TSW3) on PS5 about a year ago. Riding trains is soooo relaxing, but there IS a learning curve about all the systems, both in the train and for the track/signaling systems. It's fascinating how different countries and time periods affect stuff. Really recommended if you are curious!

i can't help but feel the japanese bubble bobble is not kicking you out on purpose... it would probably just give a popup that says wrong controller. i feel the controller accidentally triggering a button combo for soft resets is more likely.

Those controller soundsssss. If I owned one, I would literally just move that controller around just to listen to those sounds.

Fantastic video. Only disappointment was you didn't try Virtual On with this thing. HOWEVER, and this is important, I think you might want to take more of a look at Soylent and some of their history before you accept another sponsorship from them...

Dreamcast has a reset combination when you press in like 3-4 buttons at the same time. So I'm guessing maybe the break/gear somehow are pressing them down already so when you press the only button that works with Puzzle Bobble it registers the reset combination? (I've got no idea, I just know that the feature comes in handy when playing a DC without a disk-drive but also works on vanilla consoles as well)

Just wanted to throw this at ya, i randomly remembered being 15 back in 2011 listening to Starship Amazing. Talked to my buddy whom I listened with, and he directed me here. Love the content! Anyway, im off to bed. Might play "Yall Stop Bloggin'" while I sleep~ the nostalgia of rediscovering your old music warmed me up today
