I have been teasing this series for a very long time...and that's because it took a VERY LONG TIME to make...a twenty episode retrospective on every Sega developed arcade racing game in 3D! Because whether its retro gaming or modern pc gaming...Sega is the KING of the arcade racing genre! So buckle up and get ready for a retrogaming ride!
THE RULES FOR INCLUSION: 1) It must have had an arcade release (So no Sega GT) 2) It must be in 3D (Bye Bye Outrunners, etc etc) and 3) you MUST be racing against an opponent and not just a timer (sorry Crazy Taxi, Wild Riders)

Up next: Daytona USA 2! This is the absolutely perfect sequel to the original Daytona USA on the Sega Model 2. Model 3 arcade hardware was infintely more powerful than its predecessor and Sega and AM2 pulled out all the stops to make Daytona 2 an all around bigger and more visually impressive arcade racing game. Sadly it's remained unported and the Dreamcast port that was announced was cancelled. Retrogaming is just disappointing like that sometimes!
But Daytona USA 2 is one of the most perfect retro games you can play if you are even remotely into racing games. It's basically tied with Scud Race and OutRun 2 for "best arcade game of all time"

Fun fact- this was actually listed as a “Squeakuel” at the time, and nobody understood until years later when the second Alvin and the Chipmunks movie came out. Truly Sega was ahead of their time.
Did you work on that abomination?
They probably made Power Edition look more similar to the original to attract people to the cabs; nostaliga for the first game was/is extremely strong in arcades.
Its hard to believe nostalgia could exist in the 90s considering how much we got yearly...but that tracks
Like so many games this needs a home release. Sega really needs an arcade collection of stuff they haven't released before
Hell I'd buy 10 copies just to show my support (no. I'd just buy 1...but still)
Unfortunately, lots of their arcade hit games include officially licenced material, like the cars in Scud Race, Sega Rally or Outrun 2, the planes in After Burner Climax, Jurrassic Park, Star Wars and so on, or even the Daytona race track. Re-releasing these games would require paying lots of money to get the licences rights, or to modify the game codes to erase them.
Licensing is always hard but I feel like with Scud Race and Daytona it wouldn’t be the heaviest of lifts to get it done
Just imagine a service/device that let gamers play any and every Sega game ever made across all systems… home & arcade…. Ah the possibilities lol
Nah Sega will just re-release Sonic 1/2/3 and Knuckles for the 69th time 😂
I totally agree - Sega were the absolute kings of the arcade racer genre back in the day. I was so gutted that this game (and Scud Race) didn't get ported to the Dreamcast back then. FYI, I believe the difficulty of the AI opponents was toned down a smidge between BOE and Power Edition. You should check out the secret Hornet in BOE with the unlock code - it's like the Shin Akuma of Daytona cars. It makes getting first place on the Expert Stage easy peasy.
Haha that secret car is too fast.
Ah scud race what a game too, shame we don’t see it today either let alone on DC back then.
Maybe one day. If I keep saying that perhaps it’ll come true
Daytona Usa 2 was THE game i once wanted to obtain an arcade cabinet of!
i also only wish that Power Edition had the tropical dome over the oval circuit tho :3 that's what 90's arcade racing is about: flashy colorful sunshine environment!
Especially on Model 3...that hardware was all about color. Did you ever get the cab?
@@VideoGameEsoterica no, money has been the issue all along,
plus since 2003 i've been following the progress of the first WIP previews of the Model3 emulator that later became SuperModel3..... to think that emu ls basically 20 years old today ! :|
so what i've done is make a racing seat with an used G27 and now i kinda sorta have that cabinet, i wish i could get the swivel seat one tho !!
The Dome is still one of the best environmental design for a game, with the Maya track in Scud Race and few others. Don't know why they reduce it as a normal track in the Power Edition.
I mean emulation is so good I get not wanting to spend the $$ on a cabinet
@@gianlucag6976 yeah the dome gives such a scale and grandiose feel, and then there's the waterfalls with flocks of birds going through etc,
movements at different distances, making the environment more alive and epic i wish today's devs were more aware of that sort wonderment
just like as driving under the boat of track 2 always make you spend a frame or 2 going "woah"
SEGA arcade racing games are phenomenal. They are so charming, with the color graphics, cheesy music and sound effects/over the top voice acting. The sense of speed is great too. The presentation for these games are unmatched. Hell even the arcade racing games SEGA made for home consoles are fantastic too, most of them anyways. F Zero GX is my favorite racing game ever and SEGA made it, and even some Daytona USA developers worked on GX too. SEGA used to be so damn cool.
Sega really is a tier above everyone else when it comes to arcade racing games. Sure Namco was great with Ridge Racer but Sega has made DOZENS of 10/10 racing games in their time
Drifting in this game feels so satisfying!
It really does. Same with OutRun 2. Sega knew the video game physics of a satisfying drifting mechanic
These graphics still look good today! I was blown away when i forst saw Model 3 games, it was like taking a glimpse into the future. Sega was so far ahead when it came to graphics technology that it wasnt even close.
Yes model 3 has aged super well
Emulates perfect in supermodel. Even link up works great. It gets a lot of play in in my ridge racer twin cab when the pc's are hooked up. This, scud race and outrun sp are the top 3 most played here. Thanks for this series!
Happy to do the series. So many more coming!
I love Daytona USA so much. My second favorite racing series after F-Zero!
Second favorite? I think you meant first favorite? Lol
This series has got me itching to snag some wheels to get a VS. setup added to the home arcade.
I haven't played some of these since I was a kid and the girlfriend is always glued to the Initial D cabs at the local arcade.
Thanks for the great videos as always my guy, loving this series!
Initial D is always a fun time. That episode will be coming soonish :)
Sega, for the love of God bring this to modern consoles! When they re-released Daytona on Xbox 360 I played it none-stop. The same with Outrun 2. Like you mention in your video, they are just fun to play, but they also strike that brilliant balance between easy to get into and have fun, but trickier to master. No more Sonic re-releases. All of outrun series, Daytona, Scud Race and then something a bit more obscure.
Seriously that's what everyone wants. Scud Race / Daytona 2 / etc....at home!
I always have fond memories seeing the machine in its twin cabinet form at CineStar in Dortmund in my mid-teens in the mid-2000s, alongside the deluxe version of Ferrari F355 Challenge. CineStar is a movie theater located near the central station in Dortmund and has gotten rid of both machines ever since, but I always remember that they were there and I did play them, especially the PS2 port of F355 Challenge that I got to play after I just got my PS2 in Christmas of 2005. If I remember correctly, due to my incredible curiosity surrounding the game, this was the one game that got me into MAME in the first place when I wanted to play the game at home on my PC so badly, only for emulation of the game at the time being non-existent. And even still to this day, Model 3 emulation on MAME is still non-existent, but that's why the Supermodel emulator, as we know it, came about that I had known around the same time I had just gotten into MAME when the emulator was newly announced when I browsed through the System-16 website.
Movie theatres used to be great places to find cabinets. Now not so much. At least in the US
Glad you covered this one. My mate bought this cab a few years ago; original Daytona USA 2 and it's a single cab that used to be a twin-cab (1 player side) complete with the light-up sign, but no space for it to go on top. Great game and the force feedback on the steering wheel might be better than the original Daytona. If feels like there is more technology going on. The seat doesn't have force feedback. It's all with the big CRT screen so it's a similar resolution to Dreamcast, but of course a beefed up Model 3 Spec. It also has mirror mode on all courses and you can choose to beat your own lap times. I remember playing it in London in the early 2000's and who knows could be the same cab as it's got Namco written on it and we did go to Namco Station Waterloo back then.
If I had the space I’d get a cab for Daytona 2. Damn condo living in big cities. I’d have nowhere to put it
I think we all dream a "Sega Ages" with Model 3: Daytona 2, Scud Race... M2, get to work, please.
I’d buy that in a heartbeat
I dream of Sega Rally Champinship.
i love power edition bro. you can select the alternate soundtrack with vocals provided by takenobu mitsuyoshi, which can be enabled in the japanese bios. he is super cool! ⭐
The lyrical soundtrack is the best except...it gets stuck in my head for DAYS
Great looking game, one of those classics that unfortunately passed me by in the arcades
You can still find it pretty commonly in US arcades thankfully
I remember playing this the first time at a mall when I was little and was in awe myself when playing it. It is definitely the strongest Daytona entry for me, but I felt bad that this has never seen console releases although we have emulators now. The Takenobu versions of the music are still the ones I grew with and still hold up best for me.
So many people have great memories of this game as a kid. We all seemed to have played it
Played this a few times in the arcade back in the day and it was an amazing experience! Must play
Gotta play it again!
@@VideoGameEsoterica I think the only way I could would be with a proper wheel/pedal setup. It's so immersive yet arcade fun that would do it justice
Worth the cost of entry :)
Wow, never knew this existed, know what I'm playing this weekend! Daytonnnnaaaaaaaaa!!!
You didn't know this existed? Doesn't Planet Express have an arcade room?
I played Daytona USA 2 more times in 1998 than any other arcade simulation unit available VGE. This game was fantastic from the second you started.
As I recall the drummer and guitarist from the band Winger participated with the English soundtrack to the game as well.
Amazing. 8^)
Anthony...
That’s apparently the story. Winger was involved. So wild
Man just found out about this channel through the game Junction sweet sega racing series love me some sega
Glad you found me :)
Y'know in all my years I've never seen Daytona 2 played, so thanks for shining the spotlight on this one. It looks fantastic!
Never seen it played? I’m surprised
@@VideoGameEsoterica If you can believe it! I'm from Canada and we didn't get quite as much of an arcade boom as the US. Honestly, there's a strong chance that I actually did see it at playdium as a kid and I just don't remember.
I am a big fan of the Naomi and Dreamcast hardware, but I almost wonder how a Dreamcast based on Model 3 hardware would have fared. Daytona 2 takes full advantage of that hardware and is years if not a full decade ahead of its time. Obviously that's a flight of fancy, but it's fun to imagine what-if scenarios like that.
Oh a Model 3 based DC would have been fun. What part of Canada? I used to live in Whistler in the summers back in the day
@@VideoGameEsoterica Oh I live in Ontario outside Toronto. I've never been to BC, but Whistler is definitely a beautiful part of the world!
And I’ve never been to Toronto haha.
Daytona 2 was the absolute peak pinnacle of 3D videogame graphics when it came out. It's also really fun to play too! Perhaps it was too powerful for it's own good which may be why it never got a home port.
Model 3 to Dreamcast certainly didnt seem easy thats for sure
Woot here we go! Dayyytoonaaaaaa!!
Theme song will be stuck in your head ALL DAY
Another great video! The game looks so Amazing! They really need to make console versions of this, OutRunners and Scud Race. Virtua Racing on Switch is Amazing. Daytona on PS3 is amazing! We need all of these with proper local/lan and net play multiplayer (I'm looking at you Virtua Racing, while 8 player split screen w/single joycon is pretty cool, 8 Switches would be even better) and PHYSICAL too!!!
All things fans would love. Which means they are all things Sega will refuse to do
Another great video, another marvel of technology at the time!!
With the updated board set this is just astonishing good, even now!!
It’s one of my silly dreams but back in the day I always wished for sega to produce mini controllers based on there original arcade hardware! Too expensive and unpractical but I just can’t play these with an Xbox controller!
Yes it’s shocking how well these games hold up visually
It does look fantastic.
The art style Sega chose holds up super well too
Whoa....how weird I was playing this last night and BOOM....your video today!! I was wondering what were all the differences between DUSA2 and the Power Edition one. Playing both I noticed the Easy track lost the mountains and waterfalls. Although I'm still trying to figure out how to power slide correctly. Sometimes I hit it right, other times not so much. For some reason it looks a lot better and more nostalgic running ReShade CRT filter with DUSA2.
I get that. The nostalgia look is def a CRT vs pristine 16x9 upscaled internally
Remember when i saw for the first time this game at arcades , it was the momment that i realize that dreamcast cannot produce this graphics , dreamcast was more close to model 3 step 1 to step 1.5 , meant to say model3 step 2.0 was expensive as hell and no one came ever close to this level of graphics back then.
Dreamcast could outperform Model 3 in SOME aspects, but in others it couldn’t
Daytona USA 2 is my favorite arcade racer of all time, and it's such a ridiculous shame that it didn't come home to the DC (or other console later). I'm also partial to the original release, but had access to a Power Edition cab much longer and played it more (sadly, I never got to play this against friends or family...the mall had a twin cab, but I only played it solo or vs strangers). Now, I try to refrain from "best", "number 1", etc comparisons of games because judging art, music, gameplay, story, etc merits end up being completely subjective (even though some seem to think otherwise at times) and straight-up techinical merits like frame-rate, polygon or sprite counts, resolution, raw sound quality etc just isn't always the most important thing in gaming (even though I like such comparisons but that's the tech enthusiast in me). No, I like the way you judge many games, including here with Daytona 2 (and the mention of Cruisn' USA and it's N64 port)...it's how I rank games: by how much pure, raw fun I have with them. And in terms of sheer fun in a racing game, *for me* it's hard to beat Daytona USA 2. It's not leaps and bounds in terms of fun for me over the next 4 in my top-5 favorite racing games...but it's so, so fun that it just ekes its way to the top of my list though, again the other 4 do come very close.
And, since I can't leave you hanging, here's, not just my top-5 but top-10 favorite racing games (selected by how much raw fun I have with them): 1. Daytona USA 2 ('nuff said); 2. Cruis'n World (arcade, but, IMO, this was the best of the Cruis'n ports to the N64...Cruis'n USA was my first N64 game alongside Tetrisphere though); 3. Need For Speed: Porsche Unleashed (PC version, not PSX...even 800x600 at 16-bit color was kind of pushing it for my TNT2, but still this game looked great and plays so well...absolutely my favorite in the NFS series in terms of fun); 4. Mario Kart 64 (my favorite in the series, and just so much fun...played so many hours of it...including playing it for half a day with my sister and BIL in person over thanksgiving...I can go back anytime...I like all of the games in the series, but none nearly as much as MK64...Super Circuit it my 2nd favorite and it's a distant 2nd); 5. Outrun 2 and Coast-to-Coast(just so much raw fun all around); 6. San Fransisco Rush (arcade version rules here...insanely fun; home ports not quite up to snuff, but I liked the N64 version); 7. Virtua Racing (I know not everyone loves how it handles, but I do love how VR feels...at least on model1/Genesis/32X/Switch...not a huge fan of TWI's Saturn port, and I like how the PS2 version looks but not so much how it feels...so many hours of playing this with my sister...I'm also glad to have got to play Virtua Formula too); 8. Hot Chase (whew...my favorite super scalar-ish game, and it's not even from Sega...Konami did such a good job with the sense of speed and urgency in this game...played it every chance I got at the theater) 9. Excite Truck (just pure, raw fun); 10. Super Off Road (fun by yourself; fun with friends; the arcade version is great and the Genesis and SNES ports are not terrible...it was like R.C. Pro-Am meets Atari's Super Sprint, both games I loved).
(...okay, normally the original Daytona as well as Sega Rally would probably actually get a spot on this "raw fun" list, but I really wanted to include some other developers besides Sega...).
Reaction to top 10: DUH. 2: I do love Cruis'n but I'd still be giving 2 to a Sega game. 3: I did love the NFS games back in the day. 4: Double Dash for me. 5: OutRun 2 is top 3 for me 6: HELL YEAH SF RUSH. 7: Virtua Racing is fun but wouldn't crack my top 10. 8: How have I never done Hot Chase for Unported?? 9: Never loved it. 10: A classic for sure
Wondering how Scud Race didn't make top 10 though
@@VideoGameEsoterica As far as I can remember, Scud Race never showed up at any of the arcade machine locations I frequented, even the big mall arcade. No port to the Saturn (not surprising) and then the DC Super GT port doesn't make it out ()...so, I still haven't played it. I don't think Galloping Ghost even had it the times I've been, but I wasn't looking for it. I *should* emulate it, but never got around to it. So, it doesn't make the list simply because I've never played it.
NEVER PLAYED IT? 😳 well someone is getting a homework assignment lol
Video: Please bring Daytona USA 2 home to something
Sega: Flicky, Space Harrier and Golden Axe again? Done!
hahaha...but that's pretty accurate
Came here after official announcement that Sega Racing Classic 2 (Daytona USA 2) will be available to be play at home by playing it on "Like a Dragon : Gaiden".
Finally getting a home release. Took them long enough 🤣
@@VideoGameEsoterica Yeah. It took years since it's final release (Power Edition version) to make it available as home port. Well, since the SRC 2 background flame is blue colored, that means SRC 2 is the Power Edition version.
Now if they’d just do Scud Race!
@@VideoGameEsoterica Only if they managed to get the license of real life GT racing cars like Viper GTS-R, Porsche 911 GT2, McLaren F1 LM, etc back just like the original.
Just alter the models. End run around the issue
Y'know, it's not often that I find a youtuber, and while watching their content think to myself "Man....I thought I was the only one who felt this way!" But VGE, you sir...are one of only a handful that fall in that group. This is another PHENOMENAL video/review dude.
Everything you said about Daytona 2 was 100% SPOT ON. From loving the cartoony art style, to how you prefer the "Bio Dome" version of the Beginner track, to how rewarding the handling is once you get the hang of it. It's like you jacked right into my brain Matrix style for this vid lol.
After playing the arcade game at Gameworks only a handful of times shortly after it came out in '98, I remember wanting this cabinet(or at least the PCB) for soooooo long before it finally got emulated. Never got around to getting it, but we are incredibly blessed to have access to this game via Supermodel(shout out to Bart and Ian).
Playing Daytona 2 on a 77" LG OLED with a Direct Drive FFB wheel and H-Pattern shifter is an experience on par if not better than the real arcade cab. And while it's not my absolute favorite arcade racer(OutRun 2, Scud Race, Rave Racer, and WMMT6 are slightly higher for me), it's certainly in my top 5.
Keep up the good work brother. Can't wait for the next vid in the series :)
Aww thanks. Glad you are enjoying it. Daytona 2 is just one of those “perfect games” for sure. Plenty more episodes coming. Like 25 more lol
Im so happy to be able to play this in the new Yakuza game. Sega needa to make a Model 1, 2 and 3 collection. I want ine ao bad literally morw than anything!!
Now that they have a Model 3 emulator I bet we see more games in the future
I remember playing this after sinking so much money in the first Daytona. It is a great game and still holds up well today. I think the only racing game that beats it from the arcade would be F355 IMHO.
Real confession; I haven’t made the F355 video yet. I struggle to enjoy that game
@@VideoGameEsoterica I played it to death on the Dreamcast and was so happy when I found an arcade that had one. I’ve not been back in a couple of years but it was really well maintained and exactly as I remember it(hard) it wasn’t like a normal arcade racer and the choice of assists broke the difficulty in gently.
It’s definitely NOT an easy game. Some may even say the timer is unfair
Love this game i played it in Florida they had a row of them. Does supermodel emulator work on steam deck yet without windows?
No sadly it’s windows only at this point
Sadly the full game was never ported to a home console, but I think some composite of the tracks might have shown up in the outrun remake Sega made for the og xbox🤔
Yes bits and pieces appear but never a true port
5:57 prefer the dome as well.
The dome is just more fun
@@VideoGameEsoterica I know right? I personally it feels good showing off the scale & increased geometry the model 2 could render as well. Finally Daytona USA 2 felt a lot more “off the wall” with its tracks, the dome really fits in with that.
I was lucky enough to find a working daytona 2 pcb in my local arcade trash took it home
Damn. That is lucky
Sigh, I miss these kind of games so much. When I mentioned "Arcade racing" sooo many folks come with games like "Need for Speed" or "Forza Horizon". NO! That's not Arcade racing that is "making your ego feel good, as a there is voice acting in the games telling you how great you are 24/7 while non arcade racing" :P. Arcade racing is visual spectacular extremes :). Like little touches, the parrots flying over..... that's so brilliant :) .
Darn it, give me a new ScudRace :P.
Yes today's "arcade racing" is not the arcade racing of the 90s/2000s. Its a totally different vibe
@@VideoGameEsoterica Yea, feels to me more like "ego stroking". Like when I tried Forza Horizon 5? It took me ages just to get started. In comparison I mean. it's not "sit down and GO!". It's a bunch of story and being told how "great you are"..... and it just isn't for me lol :) .
Graphics are pretty, and it makes me feel sad as .. with that engine you could have made such a fantastic SEGA/Namo like Arcade racer :) .
Yes I get it. Horizon stops you from playing too much. I want this game: a dozen amazing tracks, wild jumps, shortcuts and pick up and play gameplay. That simple
Daytona. How I learned to drift.
In real life or arcades? 😂
In an alternate universe they actually release Model 3 Racing Collection (Daytona 2 + SCUD + Sega Rally 2) on modern consoles and PC.
If that universe still has pizza and beer send me there!
@@VideoGameEsoterica you seem more normal than most people in this world. pizza, beer AND an appreciation for 90s Sega and Namco 3D arcades. Even Ridge Racer series has fallen into a black hole atm due to people not appreciating arcade racers. nice channel
Haha I guess I am normal. Well in the ways that society notices at least lol
@@VideoGameEsoterica great a beer retard
Why is Daytona 2001 so underrated? If not completely forgotten. The Dreamcast had it's own Daytona game and it was a great game that ran 60FPS while looking good, though not as good as this.
D2 has the superior OST and sound effects however, gameplay wise I'm not sure as every games in the series have their pros and cons
2001 just didn’t feel like Daytona. At least in my opinion. It looks like Daytona but just doesn’t scratch that same itch
Great job on this series. Never had the chance to play this one in the arcade, but have played a few races on the computer. Are you using a controller or a wheel for playing these games?
Wheel
Sorry didn’t finish writing. Def get a wheel. It’s worth it
@@VideoGameEsoterica Yea I have a full sim rig with a Fanatec setup, can't recall how difficult mapping was via Supermodel, but I do need to sit down and do that. Otherwise, with the Xbox controller I find that you really need to hold forward and turn left or right from there to emulate the wheel degree turning, at least for best results. Is this one programed for FFB with the wheel?
Setting a wheel up with Supermodel isn’t too bad if you use the GUI. Makes a big difference
I wanna play this.... I don't really care for what we got on the dreamcast. Though it does still look good.
I am also not a huge fan of the Dreamcast Daytona
Sega were the masters of missed opportunities. There are literally countless racers, super scalers, and 2D arcade games that shoulda woulda coulda been brought home. Daytona 2, SCUD Race, Outrunners immediately come to mind…..
It’s like they wanted to fail lol
I don’t get why they would put so much effort into the Dreamcast version of Daytona 1 and not this…
Nobody does. Sega should have put all the effort HERE
Remake for current gen Sega. Do it now !!!!!! :)
Sega will never do it. They don't want us to be happy
@@VideoGameEsoterica im in my 50's and their arcade games were mind blowing back in the day. So many good memories. I would love a compilation to be remade of all their 3D classics, it could make them an absolute shitload of money.
I really don’t understand why Sega is so afraid of their own legacy and history. A collection of Model 3 games? People want that
Amazing, amazing game!
It genuinely is!
@@VideoGameEsoterica yesterday i burned Deep Fear US into cds, the game is complete, runs in 60Hz and is entirely in English. Have you seen the link of it that i sent you?
No. Post it on discord. Links here usually get eaten
@@VideoGameEsoterica ok, i will send it to you there. Regards
🙃
This needs to be ported to Switch
And every other major platform
Dizem que existe uma versão Daytona Usa 2 para o Dreamcast não lançada...
I am using Google Translate: Eu nunca vi nenhuma evidência disso
not the biggest fan of daytona, but would like to give it a proper try - i just don't want to waste my time with any version unless it's the best the franchise has to offer, so i guess i'm asking, of all the versions and conversions, if there is only one daytona to play, what version would it be?
Daytona 2. If you just play one make it this one
My favorite part about this game is the twerking caboose.
Lol not the comment I expected to read
Virtua Fighter 3 was Model 3, and it was on DC.
Did you forget about that, or?
What are we talking about? Context?
Is this coming out on PlayStation or not?
Not that I am aware of
Have this amazing game on emulation. My controls seem more twitchy than yours, can you recommend any settings changes.
What controllers are you using?
@@VideoGameEsoterica xbox controller
@@VideoGameEsoterica plus an 8bit do snes controller
Ahh. I recommend a wheel but you can slightly adjust sensitivity in the test menu
@@VideoGameEsoterica great I will try and adjust the settings.
Beautiful game. Too bad it never got a home release?
Yes this is one of the biggest "didnt get a port" disappointments in Sega's history IMO
Maybe it's my Emulator settings but Steering seems off.
Still play this and Scud Race a lot when I'm not driving the ambulance
Maybe you need to calibrate a bit as I don’t have many issues with it
@@VideoGameEsoterica no issues in the others except that dirt race game I can't remember the name of
Dirt Dash?
Dirt Devils
A fun game but of all the Model 3 racing games my least fav
Unpopular opinion : Daytona USA 2 is Scud Race 2, Sega Race TV is Scud Race 3 and Hummer is Scud Race 4 😎
Haha odd opinion. Especially the hummer part
It is rather odd as to why sega released the first on xbl / psn but not this one as well. And even more odd is how there is no switch version like there is virtua racing. I'd love to play the og on my switch.
It could be the “Daytona” license. Don’t forget Virtua racing is a whole cloth invention of Sega
@Video Game Esoterica then it could be the newer sega racing classic... I dont care which. Something needs to get released to home users.
Oh I agree!
The gameplay between both versions IS NOT identical. Power edition handling is a lot better than vanilla (especially the drifting mechanic), and that's the best reason to play that version over the other (I like the first stage on vanilla too, but that's the only reason to play it)
I mean from a "same courses" perspective, its essentially the same game across both versions
If sega weren't so Stingy and just released most of their arcade games on the saturn to keep it alive, i suspect that the dreamcast would have come out on date with the other consoles and they were going to survive this .
It’s so hard to say what would have happened. All we know is Sega made poor choices
I got to play Daytona 2 only once in an arcade- of course it was like $2 to play:) My takeaway was that it didn’t seem like a Daytona game. The fantasy went too far for the concept.
It’s definitely way more arcadey in the settings than the original Daytona but I’m into it
I'm still mad to this day Sega never brought this home (and Super GT). So Lame. Btw unless someone else mentioned it, I think Winger did the soundtrack lol.
We are all mad lol. Classic Winger
Ggggggaaaaaaaaammmmmmeeeeee oooooovvvvvvveeeeeerrrrrrrr
Yeahhhhh
why the daytona usa 1 is on dreamcast and not the 2???
cancelling a console is one thing, but cancelling a game that already exists in arcade and can bring eacy money from easy conversion is another stupid one !!
Zero Clue. Because Sega hates us?
