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 on the Sega Model 2! The original arcade racing game that started a franchise and still one of the most beloved Sega arcade retro gaming experiences of all time! I can't think of a single issue I have with Daytona USA and I love the Sega Model 2 arcade hardware look and vibe! Sure there are newer versions (on Xbox 360 and arcade with Sega Racing Classic which you can run on computers...making it PC gaming lol) but I just love the original from a video game history and nostalgia perspective.
And this would lead directly to Daytona USA 2 and Scud Race...and that's never a bad thing!
I recently added an original arcade PCB to my collection but have not yet modded in controls. You can emulate this on the Model 2 emulator!

What Sega means to me? Thats a loaded question lol. Sega to me since the age of 9 meant a portal into games that were made by some of the most inventive game designers who made games that were wonderfully and unapologetically Japanese with no care to emulate western game design philosophies and methods married to some of the outright worst business decision makers possible in any industry. It's impossible for me to point to one game because they are so amazing but I would say that Virtua Fighter started EVERYTHING. Tekken, Soul Caliber, Dead or Alive, Criticom all copied Sega. If competing racing games didn't copy Outrun they copied Daytona USA. If you go way back to 1982 they blew minds with Zaxxon. I couldn't point to a single game!
And you nailed the assignment. Pinning this one
Youre saying the real deal
This game is not just arcade game perfection, but it's gaming perfection in general. That original track teaches you everything you need to know about playing without any lengthy tutorial text what so ever.
That is very true. You just start driving and you understand everything
Super Hang On has a pretty memorable soundtrack. Especially Outride a Crisis!
Also a legit soundtrack. Almost all Sega soundtracks back in the day were 10/10 good
I worked at a bowling alley and arcade when I was younger and all the staff would play this and Time Crisis after closing up :)
Two legit games. I love Time Crisis
The best arcade racing game ever made. The gameplay, the music was perfection. Seeing this in the arcades back in the day, with an 8 player setup was magical.
The eight player setup must have cost a fortune both in money and in actual floor space
Love Love LOVE this game. The first time I played it and rounding the corner in seaside street galaxy and seeing the shuttle on the launch pad and then rounding a couple other corners and seeing the big sailing ship... just awe inspiring. I recently played the sega racing classic reboot of this and they actually made the shuttle launch... so cool.
They had so many little details included in the backgrounds. I still swear it’s to make you look away and crash so they can get more quarters off you 😂
Great video! Sega for me represents some of my very best memories in gaming. Daytona USA and Virtua Fighter 2 in particular were amazing arcade experiences the first time I saw and played them, they were just stunning and still look great to this day. But there are so many great arcade memories: Virtua Fighter, Virtua Cop (the large rear-projection version), OutRun, After Burner, Buck Rogers, Altered Beast, Super Thunderblade, Indy 500, Super GT (Scud Race), LA Machine Guns, NY Gunblade (the arcade versions were so cool to play), Star Wars Arcade, House of the Dead series, Virtua Tennis, Sega ArcadeWorks (or whatever their Arcade center was called, I remember the one in Orange County and Las Vegas?). The consoles, Genesis, Saturn, Dreamcast. I really miss peak Sega, and wish they'd re-release more of their classic games to modern consoles (OutRunners, Daytona 2, etc). Just way too much to mention in a single YT comment!
LA Machineguns and Gunblade NY are two awesome games that need way more love than they currently get
Yesss! I love love love Daytona USA! Easily one of my favorite racing games of all time. I play the version on my Xbox Series X all the time. I will never forget the first time I saw this game in an arcade in the mid 90s. No other game in my entire life blew my mind that much with its visuals. It cannot be understated just how massive a leap forward for game visuals this was. The 60fps with these kind of visuals was just straight up mind blowing at the time.
I almost did that version but it felt like for a retrospective I had to stick to the OG one
The Xbox 360 version is probably perfect. I play it on my Series X regularly, too. So good!
It’s a great version for sure
I adored Sega as a kid. My brother insisted we get a Saturn because of Sega Rally Championship, and we stuck around right til the end of the Dreamcast. I also spent days and days playing the Saturn port of Daytona, and it really did play great and we didn't really care about missing features, frame rate or draw-in as much as people make a fuss about it nowadays. Especially in the late 90s every Sega arcade game was an absolute banger, and I feel like that golden age started with Daytona.
Your brother was smart haha. You should call him today and thank him
I remember when John from Digital foundry covered this game years ago, and he talked about this being one of the earlier games that highlighted the importance of 60fps gameplay. And he wasn’t wrong.
I remember the first time seeing Daytona in the arcade, and it just blew me away with how good it looked, and how smooth it played. This being before I even knew what frame rate was.
It’s not a controversial opinion to call this one of, if not the greatest arcade racer of all time.
It’s a fact.
Seriously we didn’t realize what a high framerate was back then. It just felt better but we didn’t know anything about math and science behind it
Sega has been best friends with my brain ever since I was a tiny 5-year-old child jamming on the cabinet seat to the Daytona 2 attract music in Myrtle Beach. I've always been multi-console at heart but when it comes to SEGA I mostly think of games that have lasted me an entire lifetime of skills and technical/electrical knowledge. Lots of stress and sad times, yet lots of happiness. So much research. LOADS of information gathered. Hours of digging the Internet for documentation about every game.
My dad used to drive me around and travel up to 2 and a half hours to a big city (Atlanta, Columbia, or Charlotte) to find a specific place that had House of the Dead 1 or Harley-Davidson -- the former of which is far easier to find and can still be found in arcade bars, likewise with this game. Daytona was rightfully everywhere and still kind of is! As fun as it is, it was also problematic to maintain since the game had force feedback motors, no calibration menu -- you had to manually adjust the potentiometers on the cabinet yourself. The gear shifter had so much wear that most of the time you wouldn't be able to shift to 1st gear possibly due to a loose switch. Fortunately this is where emulation comes in handy, and it's something to be thankful for with talented developers allowing us to enjoy arcade-perfect versions of these on our home computers. Still hope to find the first Model 2 board for a reasonable price, but they cost a lot due to shipping the cage!
Damn your dad is a cool dude for doing that! HotD is still the best on the entire franchise IMO
Well done and great video! My personal favorite version of Daytona is the PS3 /XBOX 360...HD, widescreen and the gameplay is identical to the arcades. When I think of sega I think of Outrun, Afterburner and Galaxy Force...the arcade cabinets of those when I was a kid were unbelievable.
Speaking of Outrun, are you planning to do a video on any of the Outrun 2 versions? ...the PS3 version of that is excellent as well.
Galaxy Force you say? Might be showing up eventually ;)
For me SEGA is Mega Drive, Sonic 3&K, Shining Force II, PSIV.
The Trick in Daytona USA to be able to win races is to learn to downshift on curves to drift, that is the way this game works, so you have to play on manual.
Sega will always be Sonic for sure
I would love to see the arcade version make its way to the MiSTer. If they could come up with a way to setup multiple TV's with multiple MiSTers to have home tournaments...that would be the ulttimate.
That would be awesome but it’s just sadly not something that will happen
Sega for me is Out Run and Super Hang-On. Love Daytona but when I think of Sega in 3D my mind goes more towards Virtua Fighter, Virtua Cop even Die Hard. There is something about those chunky poligonal human figures that scream Sega for me. Great video. Keep the good work.
P.S: Out Run music is número uno.
Virtua Cop needs more love. VC 4 in VR! Do it Sega
First thing comes to mind when I hear Sega is yakuza. That series holds a special place in my heart
Yakuza is the new shenmue. I’ve played every single game and love them all
It's amazing we had to wait until the 360 era to have an arcade-perfect version of this in the home.
And now it’s being delisted and will be gone again
Aside from remembering playing Daytona USA 2 at CineStar in Dortmund when it used to be there in my mid-teens in the early 2000s, I never saw the original game at any arcade that I went to despite being dirt-common, and even stll haven't yet seen the original machine to this day. Granted, I first knew about the Daytona USA name from the official Sega website in 2001 when I wanted to get a Dreamcast for Sonic Adventure 2, and the first time I played a Daytona USA was Daytona USA Deluxe on the PC which I first played in ca. 2003 at my dad's house in Castrop-Rauxel when he had it installed on his computer. That was my very first proper exposure to Daytona USA before playing the PC port of the original a year or so later when I found it somewhere on an abandonware site.
Never? That seems impossible. It was everywhere all the time. But I do believe you
Sega has always been defined by Out Run to me. Big blue skies, great music, chill vibes with fast speed. It doesn't really get much more iconic, and it feels like Sega was chasing that high (and sometimes catching it again!) ever since.
A very popular choice today. Makes sense!
Stopped by an arcade recently while we were road-tripping and they had an 8 player Daytona Motion rig setup.
We didn't really get to play much else that day (besides a few rounds of The Grid) because the gang was totally glued to Daytona.
Absolutely iconic, lotta childhood memories slamming into walls.
Wicked video as always my guy!
8 player. Wow. Hell of a setup! Id have stayed and played for hours
@@VideoGameEsoterica Boss Battle Games in Indianapolis, worth the stop to spin out a few strangers and get rattled half to death 😂
You just described driving in Chicago
All the arcades around me had burnt in screens when I was a kid. That's how I remember it. LOL
I did actually do an 80 lap race but it was when I was a kid, on the Saturn, on the original home release. I still play the Xbox360 version (on Series X) on an almost daily basis. It's such a great pick and play racer, and the graphics are so bright, vibrant, and happy. Model 2 games still look amazing to me.
I almost did the 360 version
If I don’t get to listen for 45 seconds to the main theme I swear
we shall see....
When you say Sega, my first thought is Outrun, After burner and Space Harrier.
I remember the first time experiencing the motion cabinets for the first time blew my teenage mind
Motion cabinets were awesome. Extra layer of immersion compared to home consoles when the graphics were already well beyond what we had in the home
Man, I used to play this game on arcade machines in the pub when I was a kid, shit was hella fun, and looks as fun as I remember it. Wish I could experience this with the whole arcade machine again, me and my cousins used to love this!
Yeah cabinets seem to be getting rarer for Daytona 2. Way more likely to see an OG Daytona these days
@@VideoGameEsoterica I remember seeing one at an auction many years ago now, and was something like a few thousand dollars for the whole setup, could only imagine the price nowadays considering how hard they are to find
I bet it’s not much more honestly. Big racing cabinets are always a hard sell because you have to have the space
First Sega game that comes to mind for me is Outrun. Outrun 2 is probably my favorite arcade racing game.
OutRun 2 is god tier
Daytona is #1 racing game ... And I really love Virtua Racing. Especially on the Sega Genesis. I love this game so much that I love the Saturn version. As glitchy as the Saturn version is ... The handling is spot on. Excellent video my friend.
The Saturn version is a great port. Sure it could never live up to the arcade originally graphically…but the rest is gold
Sega means so much to me. I'm 41 now, I had an NES when I was 5, and I liked it, enjoyed Mario etc... but I got a Sega Genesis for Christmas of 1989. My Dad put it on me to choose if I wanted a Genesis or a TurboGrafx 16. So I got some gaming mags and read them cover to cover. I got to try a Sega Genesis at Family Toy Warehouse. Had Altered Beast running on it. Played it for bout 1 minute and was sold. NES introduced me to games, but Sega ignited a life long passion for me. Sonic the Hedgehog, Herzog Zwei, Ranger X, Rocket Knight Adventures, then I got the Sega CD and my love for Sega took off even more with stuff like Sonic CD, Snatcher, The Terminator etc...
Then I moved onto the 3DO and loved that too, it was weird to move away from Sega though. Then I moved onto Playstation. Loved it too. Then I had a job, could buy my own games, and I'll never forget playing a demo Dreamcast unit. Playing Sonic Adventure and chased by that whale on the bridge...It was like I was 7 years old again when I first played a Sega Genesis. Got my DC at launch an my love for Sega was reignited. Loved my DC until the bitter end. Then I went back and picked up a Saturn and enjoy it very much.
To me Sega is dead today, that magic is just gone. To me it's just some other company using the name now. Anytime I play any of my Sega consoles though, that magical feeling always hits me, and I love every second of it. That's what Sega means to me. Not just any game in particular, but an entire experience that ignited a life long passion and hobby.
You made the right choice :) nothing wrong with TurboGrafx but a Genesis was the smart move.
@@VideoGameEsoterica Oh absolutely. I recently started playing TurboGrafx games it's really nice. The Genesis was the way to go though with the larger library of games to choose from.
I choose correctly in 1994 too when it was the 3DO or the Jaguar. Next step was the M2 but alas.... :(
Poor M2. Breaks my heart even if I have the largest collection in the world OF THEM 😂
@@VideoGameEsoterica My heart breaks that I'll never get to try one for myself 😂
Swing by Chicago
I have very fond memories of waking my young daughter up by playing, full blast "ROLLLLLING STAAAAAAAAAAAAART" when she wouldn't get out of bed to go to school. Ahh good times!
hahaha clearly you have mastered the art of raising a child
What comes to mind….. it has to be OutRun for me!
Don’t get me wrong, I absolutely love Daytona and had a very special introduction to it but being my age it’s the older Suzuki san titles that come mind.
I’ve been lucky enough to own a few of them over the years and my love for these classics has never diminished nor ever will!🙌
I’d love to think somewhere in the world someone has a Daytona deluxe with a crisp rear projection, strong force feedback and thumping loud sound in that sit in car!😍
Outrun is the comment of the day. I totally get it
Nigel, take care of the car!! Yeah, I have a few hours logged on the Saturn port! lol
The Saturn port was an awesome back in the day
back in the day before 3d, it was afterburner/outrun
Absolute claasics
Sega for me means "Sonic" for sure. My earliest memories were going with my mom to Sears and running to the electronics section and playing the display Sega with the first Sonic game. I begged my mom for one but it was too pricey. And Daytona, so good. First time I played it was when I got a Sega Saturn near the end of it's life and it was bundled with the 3 free games offer.
I still remember the Christmas I got my Genesis with Sonic packed in. Man that was a good Christmas
@@VideoGameEsoterica The feeling you felt getting the thing you really wanted for Christmas can't be beat!
It really can’t. I’m an adult and I still get it
I usually think virtua fighter, sonic, nights into dreams, streets of rage and all the classic super scalers when I think of Sega. Daytona is fun, I never really got the controls as down as I could in Sega Rally
That's interesting. I immediately think Daytona USA
They have Song in this Race Game because nobody does!
And he also do some Virtua Fighter Clip song too!!!
Personally I got the Sonic 2 bundle and it blew my mind. That said Daytona 1 might be my favorite game to play head to head in an arcade bar none. Manual mode oval and slap the shifter on the corners as loud and fast as possible to intimidate the competition. I thought the 360 XBL port was superb too, but it can't recreate that Sega shifter.
Oh yeah you can’t use the shifter lightly. You have to beat it like it owes you money
This is a very interesting game because every grandmother and her grandkids know what daytona is. At the time this was the most realistic game and you could almost say they rejuvenated the arcade with this model board. And then they Killed themselves 5 years later with the Dreamcast by showing we didnt need an arcade at all anymore.
Sega was riding as high as they ever did in the 90s in arcades but boy did the crash hard in the 2000s
Daytona 2 was my first love, drifting is easier but still nuanced and the over the top detail is sublime. I do really respect Daytona 1 though, the track design is fantastic and nailing a drift feels like an achievement. Shout out to Daytona 2001, horrible on a pad, but with a steering wheel? actually really really great
Daytona 2001 is such an odd game. It just feels so different I can never 100% get into it
@@VideoGameEsoterica I returned it on lauch day but just got a steering wheel recently, literal game changer. It'll make it feel more like Daytona 1!
Yes the steering on the Dreamcast controller is NOT great
I just wish the Model 2 emulator was better along. I have a hard time trying to set controls for this game.
Really? What was giving you trouble
When I hear Sega, first game that I remember is Joe Montana football and of course Daytona USA
Joe Montana…first vote for that!
Go Easy on the car.
I also remember Dream machine
The Providence Dave and busters had the 8 player version with cameras
You remember Dream Machine from Vermont??
Lincoln Rhode Island they used to have an MVS in this Cab with a Rear projection screen. I don't recall them having Daytona though
The Saturn is what always pops in my head when I think of SEGA. Sure, the 3rd party titles almost always ran worse, but man, what a charming console. I loved it more than the Dreamcast! It's the only console I wish I still owned.
For me Sega is arcade first, Dreamcast second, Saturn third
@@VideoGameEsoterica I didn't get to spend a ton of time in the arcade as a kid, so SEGA's home consoles are what I have nostalgia for. Not that I don't love their arcade titles, I just played them at home. I seriously think I've only played Daytona in the arcade once!
Clearly I am a bit of an arcade fan. Well I’m a fan of everything lol
I love drifting in this game! I tried the tech where you downshift to lose grip in an IRL cab and it feels so satisfying.
PS: I too find conflicted feelings on wether Daytona 1 or 2 is my favorite.
they are both such perfect games lets just say both are our favorite lol
I mastered Track 1 by doing exactly that, downshift, counter steer and pull off a super smooth turn. I had that track down pact
Brilliant. Sega always reminds me of arcades first and consoles second.
Same with Konami for me. But maybe that’s because of my buying habits lol
Yeh, this game is really great.
I have the Saturn version of it too, obviously not so good as this one but still very good. I play it all the time too
That was my first ownership experience as well. Every Saturn owner had Daytona I bet
@@VideoGameEsoterica 🙂 thats true. My cousine had that too on 90's. I had PS1 at that time
Daytona copies next to a Saturn are like Super Mario World carts next to a SNES; everyone had it
@@VideoGameEsoterica 🤣 but much better
These graphics were insane when it
dropped
Still are in some ways IMO
I love the ps3 version. It's just arcade high res and you can still play it online with other people (you can even play it online in a ps3 emulator). Also, karaoke mode is great for parties.
I almost did the modern version but considering this is a retrospective it felt wrong
To me what comes to mind whenever I hear SEGA is Panzer Dragoon, then Sonic, Dragon Force, in that order. It (tremendously fast) becomes after that an explosion of games, consoles and sensations, be it SEGA Saturn, Jet Set Radio, NiGHTS, Segata Sanshiro, Super Hang On, Ecco and dreamy fun and enjoyment. I miss SEGA at their peak a lot.
That makes sense. Some people loved Sega for the RPG side of things. Ecco was pure Sega too…which is to say intriguing and kinda oddball
@@VideoGameEsoterica Exactly! Ecco was purely mystical and fascinating to me when I saw it as a kid (and well, it still is), same with Panzer Dragoon Zwei, it changed my life forever basically, it's a game I'll carry in my heart until the end of times.
It was such a hard game too. Like it did not hold your hand or explain anything. In a good way
@@VideoGameEsoterica Absolutely; that's something I like a lot about it too.
Now everything is explained so in depth some games feel like they basically play themselves
"Blue blue skies, blue blue skies I see..."
Another banger
Shinobi = for me comes to mind when I think Sega ..
(interesting question)👍🏻
A totally fair and valid response
Interesting question. When I hear the name Sega I suppose I think of Sonic first even though I never played any of those games much at all? I most enjoyed the early virtua fighter series, they blew my mind but yeah, Sonic has that brand recognition.
I think most people who don't play games will know Sonic. Same with people who never play games know Mario
The PS3 and Xbox 360 ports of the game are the only ones that have proper difficulty settings that actually work right. I prefer playing these to all other versions of the game.
That makes sense
Gawd I love that GAME OVER track ...... G.A.M.E. O.V.E.R. Game over, Game Over , Game Over, Game Over!
Hahaha iconic for sure
Can't really hear the music underneath the motor sounds though
Not much I can do about that one sadly
I like the part when the guy says doot.
never heard it
Why do the rear tires stick out the car left and right that much? Is that how it is in USA?
Sega means to me is Virtua Fighter 2, but Daytona USA is a extremely close second, I play the Model 2 versions of both game regularly as I don't honestly feel any other release has done these games any justice
When I think of VF I always think of 3TB first
@@VideoGameEsoterica Not me, though I absolutely love VF3 , and yes the original over TB, blasphemy maybe but I play what I like, but as mentioned before the fate of poor little Timmy from the ambulance game anytime I play that game.....
@@VideoGameEsoterica honestly and seriously speaking, I've always seen Virtua Fighter 2 as a milestone in the genre and Virtua Fighter 3 is more of an improved upon formula based on path laid before it, if that makes any sense
Timmy made it though. But he grew up to be a bitter man because of what happened to him 😂
It does. For me it’s just because I played the most when 3TB came to Dreamcast
What Sega means to me ? Such a hard question that I can only reply in other questions 😸
Which Sega are we talking about ?
The Sega of Megadrive (yeah sorry we don't say Genesis here :p) ?
The Sega of the arcades and 3D pioneering with Virtua Racer, Virtua Fighter, Virtua Cop (that 3 hour documentary on RUclips, such a good one !)
The modern Sega doing some of its best work for Nintendo ? (Bayonetta or F-Zero GX, still the best F-Zero ever and one of the best games of all time in my humble opinion)
The Sega of Yakuza which I just adore ?
Or the weird Sega of Saturn and Dreamcast with Seaman or Segagaga and projects like these ?
Sure Sega is Sonic to me but maybe only second.
Sega is a blue blue sky, with style and super good music going 200 mph
💙💙💙
There are tons of Sega’s. 80s Sega. Genesis Sega. Model era Sega. Saturn era Sega. Dreamcast era sega. Sega after hardware
Shenmue. It was an amazing game and it was a tragedy the series never continued on Dreamcast (with that style of graphics). By the time it reappeared, all momentum had been lost and none of the charm of the old games was retained. A Master System was my first console but I really had no say in it and I wanted a NES. The NES games were 50% more expensive in the UK so it wasn't going to happen. When I think of Sega, I think of Yu Suzuki sleeping in the Sega building in Japan.
Shenmue somehow both felt totally like Sega and absolutely nothing like Sega at the same time. I remember getting it for Dreamcast and being both totally confused as well as completely engrossed
@@VideoGameEsoterica
I played the two games back to back in late 2001/early 2002. I had never previously enjoyed an RPG so I was a bit wary of it. But, seeing the screenshots and the unprecedented detail like shops opening and closing at certain times was impossible to ignore. It seemed fascinating so I bought both games and they were amazing.
It's unfortunate a lot of people who don't appreciate it gave it mediocre reviews. I see that a lot. The geniuses in Japan make something and the western reviewers (who don't deserve it) just debase the games. My all-time favourite game, Ridge Racer 7, for PS3, got 7 out of 10 on IGN. Then, there's Project Overkill for PS1 which wasn't appreciated.
Revisiting this video to ask you a question. Have you played that 3D arcade racer by sumo digital and gave off heavy Sega arcade vibes. I believe it's called Hot ShotRacing. When I first saw it, it looked pretty cool. But then I played it and something about the handling just rubbed me the wrong way I maybe played about 4 hours and never picked it up again, ever after the free DLC. Curious to know your thoughts if you've played it!
I haven’t played it yet. On my list
oh yeah D AAA E TOOO NAAAAAAAAA! PS3/XB360 Versions are THE BEST! Played on a widescreen CRT with a force feedback wheel was the best day of my life at that point in time.
Force feedback makes a big diff for sure
Sega is Sonic and Virtua Fighter for me! 👍
Wise choices
The saturn version is awesome. The first release of course, not that trash circuit edition... Outrageous draw distance, low frame rate, even these burdens can't make it a bad port thanks to its great gameplay.
It was wild to have two versions of the same game on consoles back then
Is there any chance we'll get to enjoy the arcade version of Daytona on MiSTer someday soon? What do you think?
Zero chance on that unfortunately
But why? Technical limitations?
Logic element limitations most likely. The amount of silicon in even the base Model 2 is substantial. It probably just won’t fit within the confines of available logic on the FPGA chip on the Terasic board
Really wish Sega port this game to modern gen console
There is one version availiable on the Xbox 360 store and is backwards compatible with Xbox Series X, it even features a surprisingly good auto HDR mode looking closer to the CRT original version than we think. However it is currently being delisted and it could happen any time by now.
I think it’s delisted by now. I think it happened last week
Such a bummer it’s being delisted
R O L L I N G. S. T. A. R. T. !
I wish I could program my car to yell that every time I pushed the ignition switch 😂
Can you play as the horse like in the Saturn port?
No our horse friend is not in the arcade version
Daytona Origins: The Dootening.
DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT DOOT....DAYTOOOOOONA
Do you think the Mister could ever handle this one?
No. Model 2 would be beyond what MiSTer FPGA would be capable of
Pity it is being removed from the PSN and Xbox store, there will be no other option but to emulate this game. If that's what SEGA want, I'm not going to argue with them.
Another lost Sega game. A tale as old as time
Maybe some desert islands probably have a Daytona USA cabinet on them 🚘🌴🌴
I think Daytona 2's Dennis St. James version of "Slingshot" is as great as Daytona 1's "Let's go away" 🎵 Someone managed to live up to Takenobu san once in his lifetime 😁
As for what comes first in my mind when thinking of SEGA is obviously the blue hedgehog 🦔💨💨 But I am probably younger than most of you here.
That Sega Model 2 emulation video feed looks terrible 😥 This time I think it was really worth being shown via its Xbox 360 port instead who looks more accurate.
Have you ever thought of adding a CRT filter on top of those gameplay videos ? Those things came from a long way and some of them are worth considering.
Daytona cabinets are everywhere! But no I’ll never filter the videos. Just not my thing
OUTRUN
Soon!
Model 2 was a beast. Sure Model 3 was really awesome too, but 2 just was what Model 1 was supposed to be. Textured polygons and more and released in a time (1993!!) when Sony's Playstation was condiered "Arcade" for many 3D games. Seriously.
I don't know if I can answer what "SEGA Means for me" because it would be too much Fanboy. Having to defend a console nobody had, in a country were it was otherwise all Nintendo and Sony... and my first console bought with my own money being a Dreamcast. Knowing SEGA was better due to "all those awesome Arcade games that Sony and Nintendo simply couldn't match!".
I mean FFS man, this was basically flight simulator hardware that they put in the Arcades LOL, Hardware that cost multiple millions of dollars, scaled back enough so Arcades could afford it.... but by far not all even. It was "Ultimate SEGA!" To a point where they, as per SEGA tradition, even used the last gen's console's CPU for the sound hardware (MC68000 on the Model 2 handles the sound lol :) ).
I think to me Sega really meant “the other team”. Having had a Genesis, Saturn and Dreamcast as a kid when most others didn’t like Sega felt like you were on the other side of the fence having your own fun
Daytooooooonaaaaaaaa!
Enjoy that being stuck in your head ALL DAY
Too EZ
Every time I get in the car I should just yell “rolling start”
Any issues with the Xbox 360 Version?
Non really
Love this game but I can think of a couple of critcisms. Rubberbanding is a little on the extreme side, fine for single player and casual players but multiplayer with experienced players tends to devolve into a game of who can abuse it most effectively. Still good fun but it would be nice if it was optional since it renders longer races a little pointless.
Also it would be nice if the tyre wear in Type B games was a little less exaggerated. Iirc they last about 2 minutes before it feels like you're driving on ice and have to make a pit stop. It's a nice idea but not really fun to play imo.
On another note I do remember seeing a cabinet set to endurance mode out in the wild as a kid, it was a single player cabinet in the lobby of a cinema of all places. I can imagine a fair few people would have hopped on it thinking they might kill a couple of minutes only to have to abandon the game halfway through lol.
I could see those as valid for sure
sorry hit reply before I was done; the rubberbanding takes a bit to get used to for sure
@@VideoGameEsoterica I'm not against rubberbanding in general really but having a hidden option to disable it, like time attack mode, would have been ideal.
It's possible to immediately jump into the pit lane in a short 777 speedway race and still win against human players. When you're a lap down your car goes like a rocket lol.
Daytona with rocket cars. There’s a game I’d play!

There's a reason "Daytona USA 3" doesn't exist 😉
haha but it does exist
@@VideoGameEsoterica I look forward to your video of it
Will be a fun time!
I own many versions of daytona, but I want daytona 2 the most as it never received a home release. Oh, and add in scud racer too. These 2 games need a home release.
Model 3 isn’t horribly expensive
