Daytona USA was developed by AM2 after a meeting of the heads of Sega's regional offices for a game to debut the Model 2 hardware. Sega partnered with GE Aerospace to develop the Model 2, which renders 3D graphics capable of texture filtering and texture mapping. Daytona USA is one of the highest-grossing arcade games of all time.

The first game released on the Sega Model 2 arcade system board, a prototype debuted at Tokyo's Amusement Machine Show in August 1993 and was location tested in Japan the same month, before the complete game released in March 1994.

Inspired by the popularity of the NASCAR motor racing series in the US, players race stock cars on one of three courses.

Maybe Sega’s big reported announcement next month is they will finally port all the arcade games they never bothered to give us to a new home console called Dreamcast 2? Lololīut in all seriousness if you haven’t played Daytona USA 2, go do it.Daytona USA is an arcade racing video game developed by Sega AM2 and released by Sega in 1994. It has everything that made the original Daytona a hit plus a ton extra awesome graphics, better tracks, a more “arcade” feel to how the cars handled. I can’t imagine Sega didn’t think it would succeed. It was rumored in magazines back in the day as coming to Dreamcast but in the end we got stiffed by Sega AGAIN! If Sega felt the original Daytona was deserving of multiple releases on the Saturn and a remake on Dreamcast.why not the sequel? Considering it released in arcades in 1998 a Dreamcast port seemed written in stone. How did something like this never make it to Dreamcast or any other platform like the original Xbox. Dreamcast on the horizon, a glut of amazing arcade seemed like they could do nothing wrong. Sure they had issues with the Saturn but 90’s Sega was the best thing going. Why else would amazing games like Daytona 2 never see a home release? It’s not like the game wasn’t good enough or reviewed poorly!ĭaytona 2, for me, has everything that made SEGA the company to beat in the 90’s. I’m really starting to think that whoever makes the decisions at Sega intentionally enjoys causing their fan base pain lol.
