I’m really starting to think that whoever makes the decisions at Sega intentionally enjoys causing their fan base pain lol. 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!
Daytona 2, for me, has everything that made SEGA the company to beat in the 90’s. Sure they had issues with the Saturn but 90’s Sega was the best thing going. Dreamcast on the horizon, a glut of amazing arcade games...it seemed like they could do nothing wrong. Although...
how did something like this never make it to Dreamcast or any other platform like the original Xbox. 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. It was rumored in magazines back in the day as coming to Dreamcast but in the end we got stiffed by Sega AGAIN!
I can’t imagine Sega didn’t think it would succeed. 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. Plus the Daytona remake sold well.
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? Lolol
but in all seriousness if you haven’t played Daytona USA 2, go do it. I’ll wait
