Both "Net Ranking" and "Network" modes were removed though.
In late 2002, a PAL version of Battle Gear 2 was licensed by Midas Interactive and published as Tokyo Road Race in Europe and Oceania. The Battle Gear (BG) franchise has a popular following in Asia due to the continuation of the Side by Side ( サイド・バイ・サイド) arcade and PlayStation 1990s series. By Christmas of the same year, Nextech Entertainment ported Battle Gear 3 to the PlayStation 2 with an opening CG movie, an exclusive "Event Race" online contest mode and some extras from the updated version, consisting of four cars (D-Class) and two courses (B). This principle was used one year later by Polyphony Digital in Gran Turismo 4. The purpose of this feature is to offer a more realistic and artistic driving experience dixit the developer himself. The Takumi Mode gives the player a finishing time/reduced speed penalty each time the car hits a wall. Also, four new tracks (the B courses) including a secret one, were added, as well as an exclusive "Takumi Mode" ( "匠モード"). On December 15, 2003, Taito released an updated System 246 version named Battle Gear 3 Tuned ( バトル・ギア3・チューンド) and featuring seven extra cars including the Mazda RX-8 Type-S (SE3P) and the Nissan 350Z (Z33). Battle Gear 3 ( バトル・ギア3, Batoru Gia Surī) is a 2002 arcade online racing game released by Taito and based on real Japanese locations such as Hakone and touge races on board tuned sports cars licensed by famous Japanese makers including Nissan, Toyota and Mazda.
