Got A Spare $8,000? Then You Could Own The Rarest Game On Sega Saturn

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9AJ0nxcUuaY

The game, known as Delisoba ("delivery soba"), saw Japanese celebrities controlling a virtual motorcycle whilst trying to deliver soba (Japanese noodles).
Delisoba Deluxe is a home port of this game for Saturn that augments the experience by adding in a time attack mode and track editor.

Whatever the case may be, there are so few copies in circulation that Delisoba Deluxe is one of the most expensive games on ...

It will affect the age rating in some countries.
Age ratings also impact sales depended on the target audiences.

Yet panty-shots are still a thing in her games.

Yep. Minecraft eent that's coming soon is probably the same.

these "Festivals" in CrossWorld sound a lot like Events from Sonic Speed Sim, but less rewarding.

Sleep harder!

Ooh. Good catch. No wonder, she looks more ... uh ... attractive.

Is that even allowed in journalism?

Probably but it will be time-consuming to do since the track is long.

There is bound to be some Minecraft fan dedicated to finding or making this a legit seed.

The age rating, man!
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is rated E for Everyone while Hatsune Miku: Project DIVA series are rated T for Teen.
Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds rating would be rated T for Teen if Miku could show pantyshots and it would limit the sale target audiences.

these "Festivals" in CrossWorld sound a lot like Events from Sonic Speed Sim, but less rewarding.

Well, basically it's just a racing game with "Pimp My Car" element afterall.

There is bound to be some Minecraft fan dedicated to finding or making this a legit seed.

Yes, but it'll take someone who's both fan of Sonic and Minecraft. Well, I guess there's still a lot, but we'll see.

Yeah, but the fact Amy Rose is in a dress means there's a chance for pantyshot of her... but who would care given it's still primarily a racing game?

Well, basically it's just a racing game with "Pimp My Car" element afterall.

I see. I guess I'll have to play the game to find out for myself.

Yes, but it'll take someone who's both fan of Sonic and Minecraft. Well, I guess there's still a lot, but we'll see.

There are Minecraft fans who are very dedicated out there.

The Rating board cares ... at least for human characters I guess.

There are Minecraft fans who are very dedicated out there.

Hopefully they're playing CrossWorlds too.
It's also the closest they ever get for any official Minecraft racing game, assuming there's any interest of it.
