Densha de Go!! (Japanese: 電車でGO!!) is a 2017 arcade train driving video game in the Densha de Go! series of games created by Taito.
Gameplay
The player controls the train by using acceleration and deceleration levers built into the cabinet. As with other games in the series, the goal is to stop at each station on a given train line within five metres before or after the platform. The arcade cabinet has additional touch screens, which the player has to tap at certain moments to get extra points - this feature being a simulation of Shinsha Kanko, the Japanese "pointing and calling" procedure employed by real drivers. This instalment is also unique in that it has three screens in its cabinet, giving a panoramic view.[1]

There are currently six train lines in the game:
- Yamanote Line, covering stations from Harajuku to Shinagawa. Playable trains are the E231-500 and E235 Serieses.
