Sega Saturn used Hitachi chip in order to provide powerful support and be able to meet the expectations of the games. For comparison, the Genesis was sold in over 30 million units, which was a significant difference. It was sold in over 9 million units but still was considered as a business failure. Today, Sega Saturn is a collectible and very desirable in the world of collectors. At the same time frame, Nintendo 64 was released with more affordable price and better support for the games. The main reason, according to the Sega was the new version of Sonic the Hedgehog which was delayed several times. It was very complicated and expensive, but this wasn't the main reason for its failure. However, it was a failure in the United States and other parts of the world. In Japan, it was a popular platform which was considered a success. The original model was released in Japan in 1994 and in the United States and Europe in 1995. It was a 32-bit unit with dual CPU processor layout and 8 processors. The new version brought far more complicated architecture. Probably with some worse details and lighting than the arcade as that was some next level shit on Model 3 not even seen on DC.Sega Saturn replaced Sega Genesis which was a very popular console in the 80s.
Looking at the shoddy framerates in most WinCE ports, I think we could've had a locked 60fps version when coded to the metal. Its worse and disappointing, but I still played the JP version loads.

The outlier is SR2 and as widely known its a Windows CE game. FV2, again a great overlooked fighter when you had a stick. One friend of mine was luckily into it too.īass Fishing, VO:OT (pretty sure this is a model 3 port, and the Naomi version came afterward), Fighting Vipers 2 are very close too. VF3 with arcade stick felt incredibly good. VF3 mostly failed because it was an old game by then and Soul Calibur rendered it obsolete for many. Its really close (I played both Vanilla in the arcade and TB on DC a lot). VF3 was the very first and obviously rushed DC game, but I think the western version doesn't differ that much. Of course this is just my two cents :) I'd be curious to know how you feel about the game a year from now VGEsotericaīut Model 3 games on DC are generally good enough. The bizarre car handling simply makes the game too much of a chore to fully enjoy it.
So yes, while I still admire Daytona 2 for its lovely graphics, art style and presentation, I can't justify calling it the best arcade racer of all time or even in my top 3. GRID 2 is Codemasters' homage to the Sega arcade racers of old, and unlike Daytona 2's weird car physics, the cars in GRID 2 are an absolute JOY to drive! The powersliding makes sense and if you're lucky enough to own a decent force feedback wheel, once tuned and dialed in, the driving experience is nothing short of S-U-B-L-I-M-E-!!!!!! Other games(and I mean pure actual arcade racing games) I feel are superior to Daytona 2 are OutRun 2, Rave Racer, Wangan Midnight, and even Initial D. I'll end on this note.if you want to know what I think is a far better arcade racer than Daytona 2(or even 1 for that matter), it GRID 2 by Codemasters. Maybe Sega’s big announcement coming up is a home port of every arcade game they own? Lololīut in all seriousness if you have never played Daytona USA 2 before.go play it! I haven’t seen a Daytona 2 cabinet since around 2015 or so if my memory is correct.
It’s not like they are getting any easier to find either. Some magazines said it was rumored or “in the works” for a home port but sadly we never got one. It released in 1998 in arcades so it was perfect timing for a home port.yet nothing but silence from Sega. Here’s what I’ll never understand about Sega though they felt it necessary to remake the original Daytona for Dreamcast, and release two versions of the original on the Saturn.yet they never felt it important enough to give us the sequel on Dreamcast. It’s like they took the formula for the original Daytona, made everything better, and then improved it a bit more for good measure. It’s a mix of what made the original so great with brand new graphics, more “arcadey” tracks, and an awesome soundtrack. Yet there is one thing I will never understand about them.their sheer reluctance to port their incredible library of Arcade games to home consoles.ĭaytona USA 2, for me, is the perfect Sega racing game. I’ve been playing their games ever since I got a Genesis and the original Sonic one year for Christmas.
