Retail FeaturesEuropeanDreamcast,North AmericanDreamcast,JapaneseDreamcastDaytona USA 2001, known in the United States simply as Daytona USA, is a racing arcade game by Sega which is a complete revamp of Daytona USA for release on the Dreamcast platform. This version features every single course from the original Daytona USA game and the Championship Circuit Edition which was released on the Sega Saturn and PC.
Three new tracks were also specially designed for this game ('Rin Rin Rink', 'Circuit Pixie' and 'Mermaid Lake'), and all of the tracks are playable normally, in reverse, mirrored, or in reverse-mirrored mode.The game's graphics were significantly updated from previous home installments of Daytona USA, more resembling the likes of Daytona USA 2. It was also playable online, allowing for competition between up to four players and uploading/downloading of best times and ghost car information, although the online options were removed from the PAL version. Another addition to Daytona USA 2001 was the Championship mode, where the player must place above a certain point in the overall rankings to progress, culminating in the King of Daytona Cup.This version tends to be criticized for poor controls. The analog stick's default setting is extremely sensitive, but that can be corrected in the options screen (except in the Japanese version). However, the game still does not handle exactly like the original arcade version of Daytona USA even when using a racing wheel. The physics / handling / control are different from the arcade version. Though it is likely that the game was designed with analog controls in mind and therefore doesn't play as easily on a joypad as the Sega Saturn versions which used a standard d-pad.
Can you detect the sweet scent of Online Daytona coasting in from across the Pacific? Drakengard 3 wiki. The game everyone's wanted since Sega used the words Dreamcast and 'Online' in the same sentence is a week away from Japanese release, and today developer Amusement Vision has updated its web pages with course and car details.The eight courses mentioned at the web page and listed below should, for the most part, be familiar to Daytona fans.
Three Seven Speedway:. Dinosaur Canyon. Sea-side Street Galaxy. Desert City. National Park Speedway. Circuit Pixie.
Rin Rin Rink. Mermaid LakeOf the eight, only Circuit Pixie, Rin Rin Rink and Mermaid Lake are new to the DC version.
Circuit Pixie is an oval course that cuts through a forest that was populated by fairies in ancient times (uhh. The page says something to that effect). Speed, the use of slip streams and no braking are the keys to success here. Rin Rin Rink was built on a marshland and features multiple curves and a long straightaway. Acceleration is key here. Finally, Mermaid Lake is among the more difficult courses. It features a tight, banked curve called Mermaid's Moon and progresses towards a final 90 degree turn.
Yikes!Also revealed at the page are details on four cars contained within the game:HORNET The Ryu of Daytona. This car has excellent grip, acceleration and speed, and is balanced enough for any course.GRASS HOPPER The Chun Li of Daytona. This car has excellent grip but poor acceleration and speed. It's very light, and so it can handle easily in a drift.FALCON This car almost seems like Dan. It's an average car and specializes in grip, but why choose this when you can choose either the Grasshopper or the Hornet?LIGHTNING Lightning sacrifices grip for acceleration and speed. Controlling the car is difficult when in a drift.
Zangief.Now alls we gots ta' do is gets ours mitts on the game itself. The import arrives on 12/21 with a demo disk arriving just a bit before that through Japan's Dreamcast Magazine.-, Contributor.
