{{about|a series of horse-racing and business-simulation video games|The 2007 film starring Zac Efron|The Derby Stallion}} {{Mergefrom | Derby Stallion II | Derby Stallion 64 | discuss=Talk:Derby Stallion II#Merger proposal | date=September 2009 }} {{SeriesInfobox |cargoname = Derby Stallion |developer = ASCII Entertainment |publisher = Nintendo |genre = Business Simulation, Horse Racing }} The {{nihongo|'''''Derby Stallion'''''|ダービースタリオン}} (also known in Japan as {{nihongo|'''DerbyStal'''|ダビスタ}}) video games are a series of genre-merging [[racing game|horse-racing]] and [[business simulation game]]s originally created by [[ASCII Entertainment]], and released by [[Nintendo]]. The series comprises 21 games, spans over 10 console platforms, and is the best-selling horse racing series of all time with total sales topping over 4 million in Japan.<ref>http://www.the-magicbox.com/Chart-JPPlatinum.shtml</ref> ==Summary== The ultimate goal of the player in the ''Derby Stallion'' games is to win the title of GI ([[Group One|Group I]]) Racer. To do this, the player must attempt to develop the greatest stock of horses that he can in order to have the greatest chance at each of the weekday and holiday races that compose the 1-year racing schedule of the fictitious "SRA" (an abbreviation of [[Sonobe, Kyoto|Sonobe]] Racing Association) group. Between races, the player engages in numerous business simulation, farm simulation, and role-playing activities. ''Derby Stallion'' games have evolved as newer members of the series have been added, allowing players greater and greater control over every aspect of the horse-raising business. As such, the player must now [[horse racing|race horses]] and place racing bets, manage the working of a [[stable]]s and/or [[ranch]], select different studs and broodmares for [[Horse breeding|breeding]], learn to [[Horse breaking|break]] and [[Horse training|train]] horses, and set up advantageous [[horse trading|horse trades]] or sales, among other duties. Players must also make critical decisions about appropriate ages to race horses, [[Horse breed|breeds]] to pursue, and the timing of events to coincide with race dates. As the player improves the stock of his horses, his racing statistics, and his position in the world of the horse business, his Group Ranking increases until he reaches the goal of Group I at which point he has won the game. The games also allow the player to continue playing after the top goal has been met. ''Derby Stallion'' games all feature a single-player mode, however much effort has been put into making the games as versatile as possible for multiplayer capabilities. Multiplayer functions allow players to trade or complete sales between themselves, to set up breeders' agreements, and to race against opponents. To accomplish this, various methods have been used to exchange data from the earliest password code exchange to online connectivity with PCs, [[Satellaview]] exchange (via 8MB memory packs and [[Satellaview#Compatible application cartridges|slotted application cartridge]]), and [[Randnet|RANDnetDD]] service.<ref>''[http://ign64.ign.com/articles/067/067393p1.html GDC: Miyamoto Unveils Camera Connection]''. IGN. 18 March 1999.</ref> Other methods of data exchange that have been developed include various GameBoy-Link connections<ref>''[http://www.videogames.yahoo.com/news-1097130 Derby Stallion Lives]'' IGN. 2000.</ref> and telephone satellite connections (for players using DoCoMo phones). ==Series== {| class="wikitable" !Name!!Release Date!!Systems |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stallion: Best Race|ベスト競馬・ダービースタリオン}} | December 21, 1991<ref>http://www.gamespot.com/nes/sports/bestkeibaderbystallion/index.html</ref> | style="text-align: center; top" | [[Famicom]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stallion: National Edition|ダービースタリオン 全国版}} | August 29, 1992<ref>http://www.gamespot.com/nes/sports/derbystallionzengokuban/index.html</ref> | style="text-align: center; top" | [[Famicom]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stallion PC-9800 Series Edition|ダービースタリオンPC-9800シリーズ版}} | May 28, 1993 | style="text-align: center; top" | [[Personal Computer|PC]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stallion DOS/V Edition|ダービースタリオンDOS/V版}} | September 28, 1993 | style="text-align: center; top" | [[Personal Computer|PC]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|[[Derby Stallion II]]|ダービースタリオンII}} | February 18, 1994<ref>http://www.allgame.com/game.php?id=15867</ref> | style="text-align: center; top" | [[Super Famicom]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stallion FM-TOWNS Edition|ダービースタリオンFM-TOWNS版}} | February 18, 1994 | style="text-align: center; top" | [[Personal Computer|PC]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stallion EX|ダービースタリオンEX}} | September 30, 1994 | style="text-align: center; top" | [[Personal Computer|PC]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stallion Macintosh Edition|ダービースタリオンMacintosh版}} | November 26, 1994 | style="text-align: center; top" | [[Personal Computer|PC]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stallion III|ダービースタリオンIII}} | January 20, 1995<ref>http://www.allgame.com/game.php?id=29826</ref> | style="text-align: center; top" | [[Super Famicom]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stallion '96|ダービースタリオン96}} | March 15, 1996<ref>http://www.allgame.com/game.php?id=29827</ref> | style="text-align: center; top" | [[Super Famicom]]-[[Satellaview]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stallion|ダービースタリオン}} | July 17, 1997<ref>http://www.mobygames.com/game/playstation/derby-stallion</ref> | style="text-align: center; top" | [[PlayStation|PS1]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stallion '98|ダービースタリオン98}} | September 1, 1998<ref>http://www.allgame.com/game.php?id=29828</ref> | style="text-align: center; top" | [[Super Famicom]]-[[Nintendo Power (cartridge)|Nintendo Power]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stallion|ダービースタリオン}} | March 25, 1999<ref>http://www.mobygames.com/game/sega-saturn/derby-stallion</ref> | style="text-align: center; top" | [[Sega Saturn]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stallion '99|ダービースタリオン99}} | September 30, 1999<ref>http://psx.ign.com/objects/016/016803.html</ref> | style="text-align: center; top" | [[PlayStation|PS1]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stallion for Windows|ダービースタリオン for Win}} | May 26, 2000<ref>http://pc.ign.com/objects/016/016804.html</ref> | style="text-align: center; top" | [[Personal Computer|PC]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|[[Derby Stallion 64]]|ダービースタリオン64}} | August 10, 2001<ref>http://ign64.ign.com/objects/010/010108.html</ref> | style="text-align: center; top" | [[Nintendo 64|N64]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stallion Advance|ダービースタリオンアドバンス}} | December 6, 2002 | style="text-align: center; top" | [[GBA]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stallion '04|ダービースタリオン04}} | April 22, 2004<ref>http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/ps2/derbystallion04</ref> | style="text-align: center; top" | [[PS2]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stallion for DoCoMo|ダービースタリオン for DoCoMo}} | Winter [[2005]] | style="text-align: center; top" | [[DoCoMo]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stallion P|ダービースタリオンP}} | July 27, 2006<ref>http://psp.ign.com/objects/773/773141.html</ref> | style="text-align: center; top" | [[PlayStation Portable|PSP]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stallion DS|ダービースタリオンDS}} | June 26, 2008<ref>http://ds.ign.com/objects/142/14221605.html</ref> | style="text-align: center; top" | [[Nintendo DS|NDS]] |- | style="text-align: center; top" | {{nihongo|Derby Stalion|ダービースタリオン}} | TBA<ref>http://www.gamespot.com/news/6133195.html</ref> | style="text-align: center; top" | [[PS3]] |- |} ==References== {{reflist}} [[Category:Japan-exclusive video games]] [[Category:Video games developed in Japan]]
