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.

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.

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.

First time I heard of this game was at a roller rink some 17 years ago. I’ll never forget how hard my head spun when I heard “DAYYYYYTONNNAAAA!!!”

DAYYYYYYYY TONAAAAAAAAA DAY TONA YEEEAAAA lol that song got stuck in my head for years

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.

At the time this came out my parents wouldn't buy a system for us kids until I was 16 got a ps2 so I spent countless hours in stores as a kid glued to the demo units you could play in the electronics and toy departments

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.

"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.

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.

I miss those years, VR was just starting to pop up and hologram stands were in a few arcades I visited. Stuff like that is why I jumped into computers back then and still work with them is a professional.

So glad you covered Daytona in this series, the arcades got me into gaming and Daytona was a massive part of that and this really was a pleasure to watch and was thoroughly enjoyable, thank you! Big Tekken fan as well so look forward to that 👍🏻

Love this arcade game.

Hey Slopes Game Room, glad to see you made another video of one of my top 10 favorite arcade games of my youth. Always loved playing this game with friends of mine back in the day and this video brought back many of those memories. Thanks again for another great video.

I think the themesong is even more legendary than the game itself!

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

Technically, there was two Days of Thunder games until one got canned and the other one got released on the NES.

Will always remember the opening 'Dayyytonnnaaaaaa', those were the days.

I love this game. The minute I get to the arcades, I go straight to Daytona.

This video came out so incredibly well! Thoroughly enjoyed it, thanks for putting it together. I had no idea there was technically a “Daytona 3” and it was cool to see how the series got its start next to Ridge Racer!

The only arcade machine from that time that is in every single arcade

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.

My friends and i played the original Saturn port to death, taking it turns to attempt beating each others times, GREAT days! Its a game i still like to go back to today, playing on a CRT for the best possible picture. Fun Fact: all Saturn Daytona games can be played with the analog controller.

Dooo do do do dooo dooooooooooo!!!! Thanks for covering this, and including Scud Race. Many great memories playing both Daytona and Scud Race in the arcades, as well as Daytona on my Sega Saturn.

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.

That tune is so popular that even in saltybet whenever the song plays, the chat just spams DAAAAYTONAAAAAAAAAAAAAA without fail every single time lol

Man the model 3 era was insane. The graphical leap shown in magazines at that time blew my mind. I went to the arcade all the time hoping to see Scud Race in person and didn't get to see it until like 5 years later. I always will have a soft spot spot for the color palette and vibrancy of the model 2/3 games

Excellent video Slopes. Few bits and bobs in there I didn't know! Particularly the Japanese Saturn Circuit Edition!

As a kid growing up in Central Florida who loved racing, I felt quite proud when I'd see Daytona USA somewhere. Even better is knowing about the cat in Scud Race as I use to call my Daisy a NASCAT because she delighted in racing across our living room, up the stairs, hairpin turn into my room and end up on the other side of it stopped on a dime on my easy chair. I had no choice but to call it her time trials.

It is the BGM that gets me all the time. Everytime I heard it, I just want to play it.

OH HELL YEAH WOW DAMN D.J GREAT WAY YOU BUSTED THE TRACK YOUR EDITING IS UNTOUCHABLE DAYTONA DAYTONA AND THIS IS WHY THIS IS HANDS DOWN MY FAVORITE CHANNEL PERIOD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! DAYTONA DAYTONA BEEN WAITING FOR THIS FOREVER. YOUR MAN CHAMP

Days of Thunder is one of my favourite movies of all time and I have never watched a single NASCAR race in my life.

Great memories in the 90s playing this with mates in a quad cab setup. Being deafened by the speakers behind your head turned up to 11 was just part of the thrill and the strong force feedback on the wheel and thumping through the gear shift and flick the gears for the power slides on the bends it was the visceral nature of Daytona that slammed into the competition and left them spinning. Maybe it was too good to follow up. A good mate had the Saturn version which was everything like Slope says the draw and frame rate felt shocking at first but you got used to it after a few laps. We preferred Sega Rally on the Saturn but in the arcades Daytona! every time. Heads up for those near Barnsley England. Retrodome have a twin cab setup of Daytona USA 2 plus many many more retro games. A classic racer my mates enjoyed at Console and LAN parties was Midnight Club series of games. Not sure if Slope or anyone has covered that series of games but Midtown madness was related and is a classic game.

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.

I play the arcade port of Daytona USA on my PS3 on my 55 inch 4K panel a lot today. It’s awesome! 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.

15:39 Less textures than Virtua Racing?? Dude, Virtua Racing had NO textures at all. In fact, I'm pretty sure this game had more of everything when it came to 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.

Oh man, I barely had any games for my Saturn and I as such played the crap out of this one. Day-e toner! Let's go away! (Let's go away!) Wavy! Way-hay-vee! Wavy! Way-hay-vee!

Great video man, you do great work. I never realized there was so much behind it. You should do the Thunder Force series, maybe? Technosoft had quite the team behind it, from what I hear.

Usually I get easily bored with racing games like this that only have a small selection of courses, but Daytona USA's soundtrack adds massive replayability (the karaoke mode in the HD release is especially welcome)

Daytona ‘95 on Saturn is the best home version of Daytona, full stop.

AWESOME, DAN'!!!!!!!!!!!!!🎇🍾🔥 INTERVIEW NOT WITHSTANDING 😁!!!

I have Daytona USA on both the Saturn (the CCE version) and Dreamcast and think they're amazing games but they never came close to replicating the experience of the original arcade machines, Daytona USA is legendary!

36:50 The car from FIGHTERS MEGAMIX not Fighting vipers.

Daytona International Speedway had an arcade room in their museum that had 40 daytona usa machines in it the last time I went there in 2006.

There's Tilt Studio about 30 min from me and they have the Sega Classic Racing game. Had no idea it existed. I didn't get a chance to play it but it was cool to see a remade version of it for arcades.

Honestly even as someone who grew up in the 2010s i was still lucky af to be able to play daytona usa back in 2012 (I was terrible at the game btw lol) and has been my favorite racing arcade games ever since along with indy 500 and outrun.....

I'm so glad I have a PS3 with the HD re-release of this! Love the analogy of getting to Daytona rather than Nascar, but it would surely more have been FIFA vs the FA?
