The Daytona franchise is one of the most beloved arcade racers ever created. Released back in 1994, certain parts of SEGA were not sure about how successful this NASCAR themed racer would be… but as we all know the end result was nothing but perfection!
But how did it come to be? Well, in this episode of The Complete History we start at the tail end of Virtua Racing on SEGA’s model 1 board and discover the origin and inspiration on changing up the formula 1 style into a stock car racing “simulation” game
But of course, the story of Daytona doesn’t end in the arcades, you got the rivalry between Sony Playstation and Ridge Racer, you got the crazy amounts of Sega Saturn Ports such as Circuit Edition, Deluxe, Championship USA, The Dreamcast Port, The R-zone port and even the 360 and PS3 ports too.
You got the sequel Daytona USA 2 Power edition AND Battle on the edge as well, but before that you had SCUD RACE and SCUD RACE +
Daytona 3 came out next (which was very odd) as well as plenty of other small nods such as SEGA RACING CLASSIC and a crazy amount of DLC in games such as Ridge Racer, Sonic and sega all stars transformed, fighters megamix and outrun 2
We got a lot to get through on this one so as they say in the arcades… LADIES AND GENTLEMEN START YOUR ENGINES!

During the Daytona USA days the local mall had a large arcade and had an 8 player Daytona USA setup. It was awesome to play in 8 player mode even if it was $1 per player per race. It was one of the big reasons why my friends and I were big into PC LAN parties later in the 90's and well into the 2000's.

[@slopesgameroom]

I only ever played 8 players a few times back in the day and with random people. But they were seriously memorable moments

Sega were truly kings in the arcade. I really wish we got a home port of Daytona 2 and Scud Race.

[@acecarrera1]

[@thiagovidal6137]

In case you don't know, you can play Daytona 2 and Scud Race on PC using the Supermodel emulator. It runs flawlessly arcade perfect and beyond. You can run it in 4k and widescreen. I'm not sure how well it plays with a keyboard or a controller, but you can bind the controls however way you like, but if you have a steering wheel, then you can have the legit arcade experience. it supports steering wheel out of the box with force feedback. I'm sure you would prefer an official release, but judging by SEGA's missteps in these ports, chances are, they wouldn't be as good as playing the real arcade version enhanced by modern emulation settings.

[@karnovrpg]

@@thiagovidal6137 I know about emulation, in fact I can also recommend F355 Ferrari Challenge which I once tried out in Demul. It even has multiple displays!

[@silenig]

Many fond memories with this. For many kids in the mid-90s, this arcade was our first exposure to how racing games of the then new generation would be like. As always, an excellent retrospective.

I've got to play the original cabinet like two years ago and despite having played the game earlier in one of the Saturn ports and really liking the game there, I fell in love with this game while playing the cabinet, it's an amazing game even near 30 years later after it was released.

[@PartnershipsForYou]

[@tipulsar85]

The hornet also made it into a little fan game called Sonic Robo Blast 2 Kart alongside one of the tracks. the funniest part is the grphics are similar to the original Saturn port due to the game's engine being a heavily modified Doom port.

im way too young to have played this game back when it was released (i was born in 2004), but i remember my dad had a version of it on a pc we had and i absolutely loved it! fast forward a couple of years and recently i got to play it on an arcade and its such a fun game! like, seriously, i basically spent all my tickets only on that machine, trying to get better! sure, i already love racing games, but it was remarkably fun in a way i hadnt felt about games in a good while! definitely one of the best arcade games of all time

Everytime I went to Iowa I80 The World's Largest Truck Stop, I played the Daytona USA arcade game. I was a over the road semi driver and after a long day, a shower and a race on this iconic game was an amazing end to the day. Sometimes if I was driving with someone, they would race me or a random person would race me, I rarely played alone at that truck stop. I miss driving over the road because of that.

"Make a game that's better than Ridge Racer" Hah. Man, Sega-Namco rivalry was wild. Absolutely top-tier stuff on both sides of the aisle. I fully understand Namco bowing out and going in on way cheaper Playstation based hardware for their arcade games, while Sega still went in on the expensive Model 2 and 3 for a while until the NAOMI came out, but it's still a shame.

[@apollosungod2819]

Daytona was shown before Ridge Racer in arcades during development stage in Japan... what killed the Sega Saturn was Sega of America's Tom Kalinske having ZERO clue about how to launch a game console, never mind a next generation and was attached to exploiting the Genesis user base in North America while convincing Sega Japan to manufacture the 32X... That killed the development of Sega Saturn because Sega programmers were split in developing a game on 32X and on Sega Saturn... Thus if Tom Kalinske was replaced, it means no 32X and ONLY Sega Saturn as a next generation Sega path... which means all those wasted 32X games become Sega Saturn launch games and instead of Virtua Fighter 1 carrying the Sega Saturn in Japan, you would have had Virtua Racing being handled by Sega's internal dev team in Japan for Sega Saturn instead of 32X leading to closer to the arcade game running on more powerfull hardware. It then means Sega-AM2 would be freed up also from all the platforms they were working on and instead that dev team... CS-Team 1 would have handled Daytona USA with Sega-AM2 much later... because Virtua Racing on Sega Saturn would have been far more meaningful and would have really been a better racing game to Ridge Racer.

[@Tremadog102]

Some people have a lot of love for Outrun but for me Daytona USA was the king. If you never experienced the game in the arcades at the time look up what sort of games were possible on home consoles in '93 and '94 by comparison. Daytona blew them out of the water and threw them a few miles inland. A Daytona cabinet was pretty much a litmus test to how good your amusement arcade was. It's a shame that the arcade scene is in such rough shape now, the home consoles were good but it was the arcades where the awe-inspiring technology was on show. Daytona USA isn't one of my favourite franchises nowadays but it's well and truly earned it's spot in gaming history.

[@RewindArcade]

Game is still one of my favorites. it’s too bad that Sega couldn’t have built the Saturn around that $50.00 Model 2 chip and gave us a port of the arcade game back then. It would have sold even at $600.00, and made Sony cry as their Playstation would have looked like a gimped low budget system with its chunky 3D polygon graphics.

Fun curiosity: Virtual Racing wasn't planned to be a game at all. It was literally just a tech demo the team worked on as a learning playground. For most of it's development there was no intention of ever releasing it to the public. The developers would use it just for experimenting and testing.. but as it kept getting better and more fun, they realised they actually had a product on their hands and polished it further for release.

The funny thing is, NASCAR is only popular in "The Heartland of America" which is the mid-west and south. On either coasts you won't find any NASCAR memorabilia or anyone talking about it. Most people don't give two shits about it honestly. It's not like American Football where it's plastered everywhere whether you like it or not. NASCAR has a very specific demographic. I remember my late father was into NASCAR and the only thing we found in California were Fritos BBQ Twists chip bags with NASCAR stuff on it or the occasional can of chili.

[@touringteg]

I am so glad I stumbled on this. Very well done and researched. I had no idea why the game was so advanced and still holds up today with the incredible force feedback steering wheel. I played this game so much as a teenager in arcades. 8 machines linked together created some intense competition in our local arcade. I spent a small fortune. I wish I could play it on my PS4. I am hoping that a 1up Arcade version is coming since we now have Ridge Racer.

I agree, Daytona USA 2 is the ultimate arcade racing game ever released. I was sooo disappointed when it got cancelled on the Dreamcast by Sega back then, it’s legit one of the upcoming game that made me purchase the console in 2000. I hated Daytona 2001, the feel of Daytona 2 (its control, the song « i can do it », the announcer screaming « TIME EXTENSION » in the last lap, the animation during the advanced race… legit perfection). Imagine it with online multiplayer gosh! But we did got a pure arcade racer franchise in crazy taxi 1 et 2 so I kinda forgive them, but not completly :p
