Episode Notes:
1. I used the Xbox Series X for this footage.
2. The comparison used Supermodel, the PC emulator.
3. I had numerous issues making this. Because I captured so long, it appears that my HD60X decided to overheat and include a number of graphical glitches in the footage. I had nearly 4 hours of total gameplay, but only about half that as usable video. You will catch a moment of that corruption during Sonic The Fighters.
4. Daytona 2 Battle on the Edge remains an unported gem. That first track is still my favorite in that game.
5. If you are a newbie, try using the black hard car with the automatic transmission until you get used to the tracks. Then slowly practice your manual transmission on the first track until you get a feel for the braking.

I still don’t understand why SEGA hasn’t done arcade collection releases? I’d instantly buy System 32, Model 2 and Model 3 collections!

[@DesertRainReads]

Indeed, bonus if they were physical releases too.

[@linkvagar2336]

The answer is easy...it's SEGA. Kings of shit business decisions.

[@RichDuckKing]

You mean you don’t want another Sonic compilation, or the same 40-50 Genesis games repackaged again? I love SEGA, but the way they treat their legacy is appalling.

[@BobbyHo2022]

yep. Maybe we are too niche?

[@jeremygregorio7472]

Sega has a lot of divas in the company and I'm guessing they're blocking the release for some reason. Probably something about experiencing the games in the context they were released in.

[@jordanbisasky4586]

I'm remembering 23 years ago thinking Space Harrier and Hang On in Shenmue was the coolest thing haha

[@xxxxWYLDSTALLYNSxxxx]

I remember a lot of my playtime in Shenmue at the arcade. Nothing else like it at the time. Shenmue 2 had even more.

[@MrCalverino]

I love how Sega puts their old arcade games in their newer games! It all started with Shen Mue in 1999

[@BradEXE]

You mentioned Spikeout. Good news! This game is already confirmed for the next Like A Dragon game, Infinite Wealth, alongside Virtua Fighter 3 and Sega Bass Fishing.

[@System_Sega]

I hope this means Sega are planning to port more Model 3 arcade games to modern systems. Scud Race and Virtua Fighter 3 would be my top picks.

[@JuanGomez-ke5py]

For me Jurassic Park the Lost world arcade game

[@THENAMEISQUICKMAN]

Scud Race won't happen because of the licensing. Especially Ferrari, probably the most expensive license to get for a car game.

[@JuanGomez-ke5py]

@@THENAMEISQUICKMAN not even the dinosaurs light gun game

[@maforo85]

Virtua Fighter 3 will be in Yakuza Infinite Wealth.

[@franciscor390]

​@@THENAMEISQUICKMANThat specific reason is not what would stop them, they could change both name of titles and cars just like they did with Daytona 2 which is now just "Sega Racing" i believe.

[@franciscor390]

I am incredibly thankful for programmers at RGG studios and in some cases M2 who have taken their time to emulate these gems. It not only elevates the Like a Dragon games but gives us the chance to actual put some quality time into these beautiful Sega arcades (some of these were somewhat expensive to play back in the day).

[@nikolazgeo]

RGG and Sonic Team are the last pure SEGA studios left alive

[@franciscor390]

@@nikolazgeo true 👌

[@AthosJosue]

It's incredible how the like a dragon team can launch a game every year without diminishing the quality, I get that a lot of things are reused but still, every title feels as fresh as always.

[@aweirdredtoad3637]

I think it has to do with the smaller setting of Tokyo, just adding onto it as the years go by seeing how different and similar it is when compared to the first Yakuza and those after. It does something that I feel like Gta fails to do without coming off as tired. It brings life into the city with the civilians in and outside of side missions, especially when the main story is mainly serious.

[@brittislove]

I think they know what we want and we don't ask for anything new, BUT WE REALLY NEED THAT NG+ MODE SEGGGAAAAAA

[@kennykij1]

You mean releasing the same game every 6 months with basically no changes and reused assets, same mechanics?

[@Canadian_Gamer]

That’s a real shame that the Battle on the Edge track was omitted. I would gladly play full retail a proper standalone release or a combo pack including Sega Rally 2 and Scud Race.

[@SimpleSlave]

And Scud Race in the future would be appreciated the most.

[@drakewaterston7447]

God I fucking love the Yakuza series

[@veganforever9703]

Do they mean Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

[@Athesies]

I should really get into the yakuza/like a dragon games, they seem great and getting access to these arcade ports is a huge bonus

[@tog2842]

They need to revive the Sega Ages brand and release these classics on all platforms as stand alones.

[@anglo-saxonconnor817]

Sega was kept alive by one of its own bosses sacrifice. By the time 2000s arrives all three sega business divisions are almost dead already.America, Japan and Arcade. The boss of sega was already sick and dying by that point too but was sadden to see the demise of sega so he donated out his fortune to keep the company alive as a software maker and publisher. After this was done he died shortly afterward.

[@ssaunders1122]

I'd love sega to just release these in some way that's not locked behind a game series I've never been able to get into.

[@ShadowBasch]

Sega really should make a Sega Arcade Dragon Collection with just added options, I would definitely buy that! Maybe we get Outrun 2/2006 someday

[@PS4Ninja]

Sega should release a model 3 arcade collection for modern consoles. PS4 PS5 Xbox and Switch 😊

[@nattila7713]

the morons at sega would even do a switch only rls, like they did with vitua racing and outrun :(

[@mrlaidback83]

For a game that only had a development cycle of six months and having a story thats much shorter than the other mainline Yakuza games, this is one of the best games in the entire series imho.

[@Gatorade69]

I heard it was originally supposed to be DLC. Cool they sold it at a reduced price because of that, they could have gone the Activision Call of Duty route and charge 70-100 for DLC but they didn't. As I get older and don't have as much time to game I do appreciate a shorter game.

[@Simpyphus]

Motor Raid is a gem. I would love to see a game like that with modern visuals.

[@gogosegaga]

This was a wonderful game. I’m so glad that sega continues this series at such a high level.

[@TheGeekPunkGamer]

A Sega Model 3 Arcade Emulation Collection pacakage would be amazing!

[@HugoBonami]

The original Sega Rally, Virtua Racing, Manx TT Superbike, Virtua Striker 95 or 98, Virtua Basketball, and one of the wild arcade racers like Top Skater and Indy 500 would rock.

[@n64fan60]

We need a standalone SEGA Arcade Collection where the game selection screen is you walking around a virtual arcade.

[@perlichtman1562]

Thank you for making this! I’ve been hoping you’d do a video on this ever since I first got to the arcade in the game. :)

[@youuuuuuuuuuutube]

Wow, gonna get this game for sure. I already beat the first 4 Yakuza and always enjoyed the arcade games, and now those arcade games are extremely high quality :O

[@Evercade_Effect]

Very cool! I wish Sega would relase official ports of these games with a multitude of options.

[@ogjk]

Another epic review SLX! Just started this last week myself andloving classic Sega arcade as allways in the Dragon games.

[@RARufus]

The word is that a single developer within Sega made this Model 3 emulator, and it was very good so they included it in the game. Digital Foundry also did a great breakdown of how similar and different this emulator is from other Model 3 emulators.

[@richardbustamante8795]

Daytona 2. I never thought I'd see the day.

[@nattila7713]

and you still haven't seen it. this is not a release.

[@datassetteuser356]

Good stuff as always, thanks for the video! 🎉

[@zanychelly]

It will be my first time playing Daytona 2. Very nice addition

[@veganforever9703]

Will this be in Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth

[@Riz2336]

That's cool, I hope Sega does more of this

[@nattila7713]

wishful thinking. they haven't done it, they will not do it.

[@Cafeman_2D]

9:45 VF2 looks beautiful in this high resolution mode! These are nice Shenmue-like arcade bonuses indeed! Who wouldn't want a dedicated compilation of Model 2 and Model 3 Sega fighters and racing games from back in the day! I loved playing Super GT when it came out.

[@michelecarroll6355]

Thanks for showing us 🔥🔥🔥

[@SegaLordX]

No problem 👍

[@Gatorade69]

I have only played Kiwami but from what I know about the other games in the series is that this is the most Sega out of anything Sega is currently doing. The games always have a lot of love given to the history of Sega from the time period the games take place. I recently bought Yakuza 0, Kiwami 1\2 for real cheap. I haven't gotten into them yet but I couldn't pass up that deal. Really looking forward to 0 as I have heard great things. I do understand why there's no difficulty options. It is framed as if Kiryu walked into an arcade and is playing the game right then. So I guess you can say it is trying to emulate the arcade experience in game.

[@Psmgamer]

Probably get Like A Dragon Gaiden for Christmas. I have slowly been getting into the Yakuza games cause they remind me of Shenmue.

[@LucianTheWorldGamer]

Spikeout is confirmed to be present in Infinite Wealth, for your joy, and ours

[@guillaumenunes9319]

Very clever video theme, well done man 🙂

[@striderhanzo]

Considering Sega's TGA 2023 trailer, with a new Jet Set Radio, Shinobi, Golden Axe, Streets of Rage, and Crazy Taxi - we may see a new dawn of revisiting classics such as Daytona 2. If we can get a port of it, like we got in the ps3/Xbox 360 era of Daytona USA 1 - That's all we would ever need when it comes to these arcade classics. 2024 and beyond is going to be exciting for old school arcade goers.

[@Funkysauce]

Now you have to go back and do them from ALL the LaD games!! Hang-On, Space Harrier, Afterburner, Virtua Fighter 5, Outrun... plenty of games!

[@fizzyfuzz5878]

Astro Waterfall Speedway was so much more interesting than just doing one so similar to the first. Wish it would've still been there as the second track.

[@teddym2808]

Very enjoyable, thanks SLX.

[@matthewmondragon2074]

A little detail of it, is that the creator of Yakuza series, Nagoshi, took part in the first Daytona USA development

[@sandman8920]

Love the style of these games

[@mekman4]

Great stuff, as always!

[@tsunamirider9895]

I'm so tempted to get a PS5 and this latest game just to play these Sega classics. I really wanna play Daytona 2 officially at home. Really wish I didn't have to jump through all these crazy hoops to do so. Here's hoping an official release of these Sega classics will find their way to the Switch one day (Virtua Racing is so amazing on Switch).

[@nattila7713]

the less people buy this, the more chance it will get a REAL release. (probably that will not happen anyway but if we say THIS format is ok, then sega will NEVER do better)

[@shredguitarob]

I love playing Hang On in Shenmue and Out Run in Yakuza!

[@LeeONardo]

Always enjoyable to see arcade games for console that aren't Space Harrier, Afterbuner, Outrun and Fantasy Zone for the millionth time. GAH!!!!

[@JeremyLeePotocki]

One of the two Arcades I got in my area has the Motor Raid arcade machine so I can actually play it on real hardware. It is a fun game to play.

I opened the video thinking it was about all the Sega arcades distributed throughout the series. Took a moment to realize it wasn't that comprehensive. That's a video I'd love to watch as well, but this one was great. :) Like others, I'd love a larger more focused arcade compilation, maybe add a full 3D recreation of a Sega arcade building we can walk around and see history in a museum like environment. Also, add widescreen to the M1, M2 and M3 games as an option.

[@gcforreal]

Just finished this game last night awesome awesome game!

[@nikolazgeo]

I would like to see Yakuza take a more Shenmue style of fight , like enabling your character to learn actual Kung-fu moves and other real martal Art styles and enable training in a dojo etc

[@jagergerg9771]

Lots of uploads this week I like it

[@XVa-uj8m]

Woah Motoraid is the gem in this collection as I never expected this. Oh and Sega Lord X, imagine if we get "Quest Of D" on one of the Yakuza games with online support!!!!

[@Artsyca]

Dude, you’re playing the game through the perspective of the character that’s how it feels to him.

[@rozasupreme]

The video Search Bar has Virtua Fighter 2.1 as "Virtue of Fighters 21"

[@Pikmin012]

Holy moly! I had no idea there was Model 3 in that game!

[@rustymiller9555]

Great video.

[@CodenameCondor]

Good commentary on the limitations of this long-overdue port of Daytona USA 2. In addition to Battle on the Edge not being accessible, another noteworthy omission is the inability to select Takenobu Mitsuyoshi's vocals as the default soundtrack. No disrespect to fans of Denis St. James' version, but Daytona is just not the same without Takenobu's infectious vocals. Hoping Sega will find a way to release this as a standalone and with additional features.

[@QuestionBlockGaming]

LAD Gaiden was incredible, I loved it so much that I sat down and 100% completed the game- it's the first time i've done that with a game in the series. All the retro Sega games were just icing on the cake!

[@6600sis]

Another quality video. 🙂 You, sir, are easily my favourite KZbinr doing retro gaming content. 👍 Thank you for keeping me entertained while I have the flu. However, regardless of how entertaining and nice you are, you'll never make me like Sonic the Fighters. 😂

[@DiegoRuiz1991]

Considering how macho the Yakuza games are, I'm legit surprised they haven't remade Manx TT Superbike for 1 of them FUN FACT = "Motor Raid" was just a way to release another game with all of the Manx TT Superbike hardware. You didn't even have to change the motorbike if you didn't want to!

[@trcsonic]

Very good choices. I wish Virtual On was included here too. I hope we get Last Bronx in one of the Yakuza games. Last Bronx is one of my favorites from the Sega classics.

[@Bast6]

As others have already said : SEGA should release an Arcade Collection (at least digitally even though I would LOVE a physical release with like a small book explaining each game). If made as well as the emulation in Like A Dragon it would sell like crazy IMO

[@mjdf122]

Sega Lord X keeping Sega alive

[@franciscor390]

The man is a legend.

[@newtypepunk9967]

It's crazy to me that most of SEGA's backlog just became mini games in the Yakuza series, how about just giving us a collection disc or DL code for those games themselves.

[@meohmy8870]

I'm waiting for you to talk about the new saga games.

[@SLNT0817]

One note that you didn't mention was that VF2 was already available too on Yakuza Kiwami 2 just like you mentioned motor raid being available for Judgment. Surely some quality differences but I don't remember it that good anyway. Nice Video btw ^^

[@Ashura96]

Just read from Famitsu the confirmed new arcade titles that will appear in Like a Dragon 8 will be Virtua Fighter 3tb, Spikeout Final Edition, and Get Bass/SEGA Bass Fishing. There may be previous games available too but none have been confirmed.

[@stefanomazzarello4771]

Power edition first stage is the best stage of whole Daytona USA brand ... Better they kept this version instead of the original, which was too plastic in my opinion, this power edition stage, really does you the feeling you are actually playing Daytona USA... Love it ❤❤❤

[@brittislove]

oh wow, didn't expect SegLorx (SegaLordX, just shorter, cause I'm SUUUUUPER busy!) to cover a Yakuza game! Such a fantastic series

[@Aragorn7884]

Sega does what Nintendon't ❤

[@rameybutler-hm7nx]

Yakuza series is a classic series i plan on getting this. My two favorites in the series so far is 0 and the "halloween episode" on the ps3 i love that game as much as RE2,3,and 4.

[@eyalrephaeli6833]

hopefully Like a Dragon breaches out in the new installments and let us watch the Last Bronx movie and all 35 episodes of the Virtua Fighter anime. for example.

[@NewportBox100s]

I wish we could play these games without having to get all the Yakuza games because there’s over 10 of them it’s insane! But I had no idea about these Model 3 games on here this is epic!

[@gaasgaming]

@SegaLordX, you're doing God's work. 😎👍🏾

[@Gaming_since_the_eighties]

Like a Dragon Gaiden is a really good, and suprising game and being able, to play some classic Sega games is just the cherry on top.

[@johncraw8572]

Awesomeness video please do more thanks ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@DDRPriest]

We can only hope this means stand alone releases of these and many other games in their library. The iron couldn't be hotter to strike than now with all of us that grew up on these games wanting that nostalgia and pure greatness available again in a an easy to use package. Emulation is great, but simply being able to load this up in seconds would be amazing.

[@griffgames9538]

Nice little emulators in there. *considering game within a game. Digital Foundry did a good spotlight on them. They perform pretty well.

[@irvingrivero9192]

I saw this on Digital Foundry I’m glad you covered this. SEGAAAAAA!!

[@MaskDeSmith]

Spike Out has been confirmed for Infinite Wealth.

[@vshekar]

Sega Lord X must be choosing topics by reading my mind

[@jasonz7788]

Thank you sega lord X

[@MrThunderwing]

Goddamn, Virtua Fighter 2 looks pretty all rezzed up like that. Great to see Daytona USA 2 finally get an official release, but a shame it's such a vanilla version of it. I really hope Sega will re-release it as a standalone title with 16 player online multiplayer, the option to swap back and forth between Battle on the Edge and Power Edition and the other modern benefits supermodel's got like widescreen. Some kind of split-screen local multiplayer would be nice as well, although TBH, I can do that already with Supermodel...

[@Ashura96]

It appears there will indeed be more Model 3 games in the future as one of the trailers for LaD 8 shows that Virtua Fighter 3 tb is one of the included arcade games. It just got re-released in Japanese arcades with the ability to play others online. No doubt it uses RGG Studio's emulator so it's no surprise.

[@Blas4ublasphemy]

It would be hilarious if the next one allows you to buy a Saturn in game and play titles like Panzer Dragoon Saga while Sega offers no option to play these titles otherwise.

[@loki.odinson]

Dear Sega, Please release a Dreamcast mini or a Saturn mini.

[@chillnspace777]

Lol. This is a great video-ception concept. I love it

[@butterknife3201]

like a dragon series was truly masterpiece. Indeed

[@robbvanderstoel7725]

I don’t like Yakuza or Like A Dragon games, but I wanted to try Outrun, Space Harrier, and Virtua Fighter 2 again. This video made me realize I have Yakuza: Like A Dragon in my library, so I could try all 3 of them. I just saved my game at the Club Sega arcade so I can play them whenever I want. I’d like to try Daytona 2, but I’m not going to buy Like a Dragon Gaiden just for that.

[@DynastyGuy]

Not an arcade game, but the title that Sega really needs to re-release is Fighters Megamix. Losing the Daytona license might be a big reason why they haven’t done so, since the Hornet Car is the final secret character. But man, that game alone justified owning a Sega Saturn.

[@JohnnyTong215]

I hope to get IW with my birthday money!!! I have the first LAD so I can’t wait to get the sequel!!!

[@arcticman6919]

A correction to Daytona 2, the hornet was avaliable in battle on the edge but it's hidden behind a code you have to input. The hornet also was unique as you were also able to change its stats before racing.

[@Lord_Deimos]

DF retro says those ports aren't 100% arcade perfect but still a very cool thing to have as a bonus.

[@SegaLordX]

Even the greatest emulation is rarely 100% perfect.

[@TheNawaf258]

As for judgement fighting viper is included along side motor raid and space harrier

[@dlzchaos588]

I bought like a dragon gaiden from play Asia specifically for Daytona 2. In my eyes it’s worth it lol

[@franciscor390]

Same here it's great to have a physical version.

[@PhilipMarcYT]

Nice that they released it across every platform, except the Switch for obvious reasons.

[@dijabreu]

Motor Raid is awesome!!!

[@drewvonawesome8851]

I'd be shocked if they did a Sega Rally for one of these games, those games have all the car licenses to contend with...

[@SegaLordX]

Sega has removed car licenses in the past. I hope they consider it.

[@krono5el]

Was playing judgment a few days ago so i can get some Motor Raid in : )

[@ShapeyFiend]

I'd love a little Scud Race action but they'd probably need to mod the licensed cars out and that might be difficult with emulation so it's probably unlikely. Planet Harriers would also be nice.
