Sega Saturn Daytona USA: Circuit Edition (1997 - Saturn, Japan) HDMI 60fps real hardware

Post by Ian Micheal »



Daytona USA: Circuit Edition (1997 - Saturn, Japan)

Circuit Edition is a revised version of Championship Circuit Edition and even though this is a Japanese release, all of the English writing and speech is retained.

The developers had a few more months to tweak the game so the improvements, secrets and two player support of the 1996 release is retained along with longer draw distances, less pop-in, a few redrawn textures and better handling which brought this version closer to the original. The soundtrack was greatly improved by the inclusion of all tracks from Daytona USA along with the remixes, and also adding a new eight-minute-long "Daytona Medley" that combines the original three vocal tracks.

Online play was added to the game, supported the Japanese Sega Saturn Modem capable of 14.4kbps and this is the only full version that supports the direct link cable.

This game gets a bad rep - it doesn't handle much like the arcade Daytona USA, but it's a great Saturn racing game in and of its own right, and maybe the best looking game in the genre on the console. Doesn't play badly with an Arcade Racer wheel either. I think people were just hoping for an arcade-perfect Daytona after the unfinished original Saturn port, and were disappointed on that front.
