Correction: 41 cars name is HORNET not COMET.
The Hornet is an amazing car. It’s because of this game why I always choose the 41 in anything
Fun fact: the driver of the Hornet is named Tom Brown, shown in Daytona USA 2
If SEGA makes a new Daytona USA game, Comet sounds like a full time sponsor for a rookie driver we can play as.
Lionel needs to make Daytona USA diecast. :)
@@DC322 💸💵💥👏👱♂️
Gonna need that
The Daytona sound is so legendary
DAYTONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
Fax! I wasn't even born when the events in this video took place, and I know the sound by heart.
Imagine going to heaven ad you hear
DAYTONAAAAAA!
Fun fact, in 2017 when Daytona USA 3 was released Kurt Busch won the Daytona 500... DRIVING THE 41 CAR.
Coincidence? I think NOT
Don't tell me he had a rolling start as well...
I was there.
If I got a quarter every time I heard the Daytonaaaaaa attract sound effect, I could play every track at least once.
Daytonaaaaa Annnndd
It's also worth mentioning Daytona's slightly more forgotten, though equally badass older brother - Virtua Racing. Man, F1, Rally, Daytona, SEGA had it all back then. They really pushed the racing scene forward.
I have so much respect for Sega after playing more video games from their arcade division. So much technological innovation across pretty much every genre
Don't forget SCUD Race. Daytona USA but with GT cars of the time based off the BPR Global GT series. It was the predecessor to a number of game mechanics and additions that appeared in Daytona USA 2. Had a distinct dance styled OST too.
@@DatOneCat Yup, Scud Race/Super GT was basically Forza before Forza!
my most played arcade game was Outrun 2, thx Sega ^^
Dude I remember playing this at the arcade and the machine they had at Walmart. Later I got a Sega Saturn and had this game. So freaking awesome and brings back so many memories
The fact that no teams have ever made a hornet darlington throwback scheme is a crime.
Also wish daytona usa 2 would get a get official release one day
Ryan Preece with a Hornet High Class Darlington or All-Star Race scheme sounds awesome
Daytona USA 2 exists,but is an arcade exclusive
SEGA wanted Daytona USA 2 on the Dreamcast but it was scrapped
ITS HAPPENING!!!
Imagine if Motorsport game put as much work into NASCAR 21 ignition as the Daytona USA developers did🤔
Imagine if it was Sega instead of Motorsports Gaming that made NASCAR 21 Ignition
Okay but those graphics are incredible for 1993
Not to mention, the playing style and force feedback was incredible. This forever holds up as my favorite arcade game of all time.
DAYTONAAAAAAAAA. Used to work at a bowling alley and had to listen to it endlessly alllll day long. And of course as work goes it became annoying. But to me now, and since that bowling alley is gone too, that sound it more than iconic. It’s SUPER nostalgic. Love it to pieces.
You know its a great arcade game when some still exist in some cinema and shopping centre.
I have never clicked on a video faster. That intro music is just instant, pure, unadulterated nostalgia.
You should cover the rest of the series as well! I'm making a Daytona USA 2 carset for Nr2003! DUSA2 is underrated as hell
Oh hey! You're doing a great job on the carset! I'm excited for it to be finished!
You're damn right that Daytona USA 2 is underrated. Best soundtrack of the series as well imo.
Oh that carset is awesome! I still gotta work on making Gen7 paint scheme ideas for Daytona USA 2001.
not covering daytona usa 2 is a crime when talking about the franchise. i would even go as far as saying that daytona usa 2 beats the original
As a game dev and racing fan, you do impeccably well covering both sides:) This is the one channel I never doubted setting alerts for
Love NASCAR and am a diehard fan of this game. Glad to see you talk about it!
Darien, you just loved getting that stuck in our head, didn't you 😂
I remember playing Daytona USA at three different places around Syracuse, NY when I was a kid: SportStar 2000 in East Syracuse; Putter's Paradise mini-golf behind the McDonald's on Erie Blvd, and the arcade/laser tag place in Shoppingtown Mall. Those were the days. All three are now sadly lost to the sands of time.
I just listened to this song this morning
I still own Daytona USA on the PS3 to this day. Understanding the manual gear system and drifting was a long and grueling process, but once I’ve mastered it, it felt like I was on top of the world. Truly a game that was ahead of its time.
I also got to play Daytona USA 2 in an Arcade back when I was little. I played on the Deluxe edition with the chair that slightly tilts and turns when you turn, giving you the feeling of sitting and driving in an actual stock car. A terrifying experience for 10-year old me, but looking back, I don’t think there were many like it.
Ah I love this game. Fond memories of it as a child in the arcade. I always wanted a good home version and when it came out on Dreamcast I sort of got my wish, but it wasn't perfect. Then, the X360/PS3 version happened and I was ecstatic. Every February, on Daytona weekend, I fire it up. Put the game on "Endurance" mode (80 laps) with Tire Wear on and select Three Seven Speedway... and ROLLLINGGGG STARRRRRTTTT! THE GREEN FLAG IS OUT AND THEY ARE UNDER WAY!
I attended races at Riverside Park Speedway every weekend in the 90’s. The arcade was close to the track. I played it often. During rain delays, you would have about a dozen drivers there playing.
I had Daytona USA 2001 for the Dreamcast. It was a fully upgraded presentation with more tracks, more cars and overhauled graphics. I think it is the peak of the series.
Inside Daytona international speedway arcade was 20 of them linked together
Holy shit! Heaven!
Its bring back memories, when im 13th years old i win bronze at daytona usa competition advanced course 10 laps... I remember that time i use car number 6(pink colour)..
First time I played this was at six flags great america. I was only 15 at the time and when I hit the arcades, there was a long line to play this game and only two cabinets were available. I was so mesmerised with the game that instead of going to the rides with my freinds i spent almost half of the day waiting turn after turn to play it again. I eventually was able to find it at other locations. Dave and Busters had a 8 cabinet set up which is where I made it a tradition to go there during the 500 weekend and do a few races and challenged anyone who wanted to compete with me thinking I'm actually racing in the 500.
Personally Daytona USA 2 "the power edition" in my opinion is much better. The cabinets had much larger screens with moving sim rigs. Aesthetically the visuals were much more refined and damage physics and tire smoke were more realistic.
The rocking tunes were better and the cool feature the power slide, I mean "slingshot" made the cornering much more fun to time and tackle.
A few tidbits: Before Daytona USA only Bill Elliott's Nascar Challenge used the Daytona name, track design and likeness.
So Sega had exclusive rights. It wasn't until Nascar Racing 3 from Papyrus that was fianlly allowed to use Daytona, however they were given the right to design a sim setup to be used at Daytona USA theme park.
EA sports was finally able to incorporate the Daytona track in Nascar 2001 and they made it such a big deal
That on the back of the jewel case it was mentioned at least 3 times.
So when can we start talking about the Nascar Silicon Motor Speedway?
I played this game in a movie theater that had an arcade portion, It was really good, although I struggled controlling the car 😂
Loved this game as a kid. Would always play it at the Pool Room in Dawsonville whenever we went. What was better was we were content “playing” without putting money in. Then my uncle threw in some coins and we were blown away! My mom was dissapointed at my uncle for that move.
Hi - Last year I picked up a DX twin Daytona USA 2 with cabin car and got one working. I like the game but nothing crazy. Just a few days ago I scored on a Daytona USA twin and got one working already. I am hooked and been playing for days none stop! Sound, gameplay and everything you do affects outcome. Awesome!
It wasn't a Chuck E Cheese but it was the same kind of establishment. Little kid games and an arcade. My dad took me to that place many times when I was little and one of my favorite games to play was this. When I was a kid I was absolutely crazy for NASCAR and would use up over half of my tokens playing it over and over again. I was really upset when one day we went there the cabinet was gone. I think I actually cried. So yes, this has a bit of nostalgia for me. Although I was kind of sad you couldn't play as other cars.
When you were going over the franchise, I believe you forgot to mention Daytona USA 2 which was released in 1998. It has a different attitude but it's still the same game.
And there's the Daytona USA 2001 on the Dreamcast too, it was amazing with tons of new features
Even here in Brazil this game is legendary!
I got a history on this game in the two seating arcade machine: i broke the shifter of the machine racing with a friend! Lol
The employees of the mall weren't not amused 😆
I've gotten to play Daytona USA on an original simulator cabinet. No other version of 777 Speedway quite compares. No port really captured the magic of the arcade version.
Daytonaaaaaaaaaa
3:25 I heard some music of someone saying something when I first saw a gameplay of this just an hour or so ago. I'm interested in playing this game since it's going to go off of the Xbox 360 store and I wanted to learn more about the series. I now see this scene and I think it has changed my life for the better. Actually hearing the person sing and the music really is an experience hearing it for the first time!
Everytime I see any very version of daytona usa you bet your sweet cash I'm playing it
The music of this game is simple incredible
Believe it or not. Daytona USA was the game that brought Nascar to my attention. Without this game, I'm not sure if I would've known much about Nascar.
The intro song should play every intro to the broadcast for the irl 500
Who else here wants to see Stewart-Haas or another team do a Hornet throwback for Darlington?!
It was called "Virtua Racing", not "Virtual Racing".
Licensing the Daytona USA name did not grant them the license to the Daytona International Speedway track. This is why the 777 Speedway in Daytona USA looks exactly like Daytona but with fantasy elements. They only ended up finally licencing the Daytona International Speedway for Daytona USA 3. Daytona USA was *not* a flop on Saturn, it was one of the highest selling games on it, especially in the US.
this just gave me ptsd 😭 i can’t remember the last time i heard that beautiful DAYTONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA
That game does have the most iconic theme song for a racing game
I actually enjoyed playing it on my Sega Saturn. I was only like 7 at the time so it wasn't hard to please me I guess. At the time I thought it was cool to do an 80 lap race on the oval and not have to worry about the time limit
What an iconic game... I remember this being in Zap Zone during the 2000s...
Omg... my favorite. The memories.
Daytona USA and Virtua Racing are both games with so much depth in the driving mechanics. They're unrealistic sure, but still very demanding, requiring a lot of skill and practice to be good at. In my opinion, the fact that the Virtua Formula and the Hornet handle so differently emphasizes that Sega AM2 wanted to capture the essence of the motorsports they were adapting, while also injecting arcade whimsy and fun to make the experience more accessible. It's my favorite kind of Arcade racer, the car handling is unrealistic, wild, and fast, but it still manages to capture that feeling of pushing a car right up to its limit that is so often lost with unrealistic handling models, and if you push your car too far, you are get punished for it. A spin or crash can very easily ruin your race. It's a crying shame there aren't more games like them.
When comes about the Saturn ports, the japanese Daytona CE edition is by far the best one and it's an improved version of the already good Championship Circuit for USA and Europe. While doesn't run like the arcade, that version feature 2 new circuits and a new soundtrack. But most importantly, runs way better than the original Saturn's Daytona USA. Really worthy to check in a emulator.
The PC version of the Championship Circuit Edition feat an exclusive track too but I never tried it.
Fun fact: the man behind the OST of the original Daytona USA was Takenobu Mitsuyoshi, one of the most well known musicians from Sega. I always loved his work in the J.League Victory Goal series.
I grew up in daytona beach and they had an 8 player one in the arcade of section in this local water park. Also when we got a Dave and Busters here in daytona a few years ago they put this game in there too
Daytona Championship USA was originally going to be named Daytona USA 3 (based on the early logo) before they dropped the 3. The attract music and "Let's Go Away!" songs composed for DCU are INSTANT classics though!
The arcade version released in Australia did not play the "Daytona" theme song, it just ran though the various screens without music.
You did the PS3/Xbox 360 port dirty.
Absolutely flawless port, with nicer colors and a stable 60fps, along with a bunch of other goodies included.
I’ve been playing “DAYYYYYTOOONNNNNAAA” ever since the clash
Best song from one of the best games
Some NASCAR Driver should run a Throwback to the 41 Car in the Goodyear 400 at Darlington, that's a good idea!!!
Played on an 8 seat setup in Seattle. Awesome.
RIP Daytona USA xbla you will be missed.
Best soundtrack ever
Sounds like a metal "The Police"
Daytona USA is a total classic arcade game i still love to play this game today and i don’t care of the quality
I got to play the 8 player Cabinet back in the 90s I remember when someone left. people Sprint to that spot to play daytona
I love how this video starts with *DAYTONAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-*
If we get a Preece Hornet 41, that car would sell out for the next five years like Johnson’s Petty/Earnhardt car
Just wanna point out as well, since it wasn't mentioned, the Sega Dreamcast also got a Daytona USA game under the name "Daytona USA 2001". Mostly being based off the original with newer car designs, ability to change tire hardness, customize color schemes, and a number of new courses. SCUD Race is another arcade racer title from Sega AM2 that falls under the Daytona USA line despite the BPR Global GT car choices in it (911 GT2, F40, Viper GTSR, and Mclaren F1 GTR). it pretty much plays the same too.
Those of us into the early Papyrus sims hated this game as Sega had the exclusive license so Daytona wasnt in NASCAR SimRacing.
But it was fun af at the arcade!
One year later, Sega made an Indy 500. That was my bag.
As a kid I followed NASCAR much more closely than CART/IRL, but I preferred the Indy 500 game to the Daytona 500 game. Don't get me wrong, I loved both games. But if an arcade had both games, I would be headed to the virtual Brickyard!
YES FUCKING YES I AM SO HAPPY A NASCAR TH-camR IS COVERING THIS GAME
If SHR has a Hornet painted car for throwback weekend, it will be the racing event of the year
DAYTONAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Every last quarter or dollar I've spent on this game over 2 decades all feels worth every cent as being well invested
I'm so happy my local Dave and Buster's has a Daytona USA!!!!!
I can't see Daytona without saying DAYTONAAAAAAAA
People come to this game for the music and stay for the gameplay lol
Yk a game I absolutely adore because of how it pays image graphically to this era is hotshot racing, I HIGHLY recommend it if you’re a fan of this era of arcade gaming, I’m like 99% sure it’s on gamepass
I played hooky from school when my older brother bought a Sega dream cast. Also I have it on my Xbox series x
Ahhh the memories. I played the crap out of this game on Sega saturn.
You forgot to mention the game on the Dreamcast. That one is my favorite cuz it had more tracks, more cars, more content and even online.
I remember this game being in the nicer arcades or davenbusters, other wise it was the og f1 game with the never ending engine sound with low or high, and hydro thunder was in every og Walmart in America. This game was hard from what I remember
I hope they play the daytona usa theme during driver introductions
I think I played this game at a Dave and Busters.
Confirmed: I literally did. Although it's been a long while ago.
Drinking game: Take a shot everytime you hear DAYTONAAAAAAAAAAA
It's interesting how in the history of the it had the name, but no recreation of the real track (aside from a reskin that made it look closer to the real one but used the beginner track as a base) plus there's another Daytona USA, a museum/interactive attraction at Daytona that had a papyrus recreation of Daytona you could hotlap in, a few years before papyrus would include Daytona in nascar racing 3/4
th-cam.com/video/tqNYGylaYDs/w-d-xo.html
Video of said recreation running in nascar racing 1 at Daytona USA (the museum)
I played this for hours at my local Dave + Busters. LEGENDARY
An 8 seat Daytona USA Machine... Pog!
Stewart Haas Racing Please make a Daytona USA Throwback scheme
Viewers in Japan remember the classic jingle back in the 1980’s where the chorus sings Sega.
I remember playing this game whenever dad would take me bowling with him,I could never beat the game back then but even now I travel to that same bowling alley to try and beat the game...and yes I always end up losing cuz I forget to bring enough money lol but aye it was my fav game to play
I still have a Sega Saturn and this game in storage.
i resently tried to play the arcade version, after many years sim racing experience expecting to do good, but holy god, for anyone to get good on that FFB level i salute them
Got to race against the Grubbs a few times on the 4 seater arcade version at the local bowling alley.
Always loved the 2nd game
If I’m being honest I would love to see a throwback of the hornet in nascar with the the sponsors and all and wouldn’t really care whether they used the red and orange or red and blue
The only place I’ve been able to play the game was at Holden Beach, NC at a place called Treasure Island. It’s definitely a fun game. I don’t think Treasure Island has their cabinet anymore because they went bankrupt a few years ago and they only have their mini golf course open today. They also had a great go kart track.
Remembered seeing one of these in Sheffield Tasmania in a grocery store, very interesting.
Paramount better make a Daytona USA movie after the Sonic movies are done
Won a couple $50 gift cards playing this game as a kid at speed street in Charlotte before the 600
I think there's a Daytona USA #41 car in the OG Draftmaster
Yep, #41 car strongly resembled Hornet paint scheme.
I love driving it in Draftmasters 2 now!
That was the first time I’ve heard that song
The Sega Saturn flopped for many reasons
1. They pushed the release date earlier for the console to get a head start over the Sony PlayStation which developers had to rush their launch games
2. Sega also experimented with the 32x an add on for the Sega Genesis that flopped in North America as the Sega Saturn was launched the same year in Japan (1994)
3. Sega put all their hopes and trust on Daytona USA, Virtua Fighter, Knights Into Dreams and other launch titles to make sure it was a success as the Sonic game that was in development (Sonic X) was cancelled because of time constraints in (1996).
No worries Darian video game history is one of my favorite topics of all time and this video was awesome. Sega used to be the cool kids and now they just make and publish games after leaving the console industry when the Dreamcast failed 😢
4:11 hmmm whos that on the mountain
sega. the arcade kings.
Blue blue skyyyyyy.
I remember when this came out they did a traveling exhibition with a massive number of cabinets that stopped at our local science center. I forget how many it was exactly but I know it was more than 8. People were lined up for it like it was a newly built roller coaster.
