ShreddieMercury Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Huge news that is amazing and also somehow sucks. Daytona USA 2 is one of the greatest arcade racers ever, and it never received a console port. It is supposedly emulated inside of the new Yakuza game, titled "Sega Racing Classic 2". I know we are not sharing twitter links but it was confirmed this morning. I'll take what I can get, but I'm still waiting on the day that we get enhanced ports of Sega Rally, Outrun 2, and Scud Race. All have licensing issues, but it seems Daytona USA 2 was likely the easiest to navigate since the name is only referenced in the title screen, and the cars are generic.

Mr.Vic20 Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 No one does arcade racers like SEGA did and I'd be happy with a stand alone Sega Ages style collection. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chakoo Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 Mmmmm... It's kind of funny that the yakuza game are secretly a sega arcades collection compilation. I need to hurry up and make sure I pre-order my physical copy before they run out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stepee Posted September 7, 2023 Share Posted September 7, 2023 It’s so annoying because you have to remember which Yakuza games have which arcade games you want to play. I don’t know why we can’t just get a model2/3 collection. Make like 4 collections and charge $60 each just do it FUCK. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't really understand why they haven't perpetually released these games. Is it really time consuming/expensive to just swap assets? Music licensing isn't a problem because it's all (incredible) in-house tracks, so it's just the car models and names at this point. Outrun 2 deserves its own special re-release with all of the content from the various iterations of the game (Xbox original, Outrun2 SP, Coast 2 Coast, etc.). For a collection, my dream would be Sega Rally Championship, Daytona USA 2, and SCUD Race. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All we are getting is another Genesis collection for current gen with the same 40 games and we know it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HardAct Posted September 8, 2023 Share Posted September 8, 2023 Jumped in because "yes" I love Daytona USA as I was just playing this on my 60k+ game standup arcade system last night! Weird that I saw this topic right after as I never hear D/USA news ever! D/USA2 although cool I'm in here just to agree that D/USA is a all time classic!
