They could have gotten Takenobu Mitsuyoshi to sing something new instead of just silencing where it used to say Daytona. Even weirder that they then leave in the "Way-hay-hee" all by itself!
You know what, at least they have an instrumental version of the classic theme song. It's still awesome, even without that "DAY-EE-TOE-NAH" yell at the beginning. Better than nothing, really.
It's not so bad. Takenobu's voice is still there in this and other tracks, it's just the "Daytona! Let's go away!" that has been taken out. I love how the Model 2 synth instruments have been redone to sound more modern. It's very faithful to the original. I predicted this game a few years ago, telling my friends that Sega should re-release it in HD with revamped music but otherwise keep the same graphics and sound. It's hilarious how dead-on I was!
I agree with you and it's regrettable that lawyers have to screw up yet another great thing. But with all the other lyrics remaining intact, I doubt I'll be thinking about it while playing this game. I want to play Seaside Street Galaxy on this while listening to "Pounding Pavement" asap!
Good news, however -- in case you haven't kept up with what Sega's been doing, the International Speedway Corporation has allowed Sega to rerelease Daytona USA with the original name intact. The first ever official true arcade-to-console port is set to be released on October 25th for the Xbox 360 and the PlayStation 3, according to Sega in a press release and video trailer.
Trust me, I'm such a nerd about this, and I'm proud of it. XD
@VikutaaChyaaruzu Thank you for the heads up! I have seen the videos for these new console versions. It has me salivating. The original Model 2 edition music will be there as well. I can now die in peace. :)

To me a lot the nostalgia with this game lies in the lyrics. Id rather own the twin daytona sitdown, its still like to have a game on this one though

There's only the instrumental version of the Daytona USA theme during the attract mode.

Yeah, they aren't allowed to use the lyrics because they no longer have a contract with Daytona.

I really want to play this. Hopefully it comes out on Xbox Live.
