Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition Game Sample - Sega Saturn

Original Air Date: June 17th, 2009

Whoo boy! This game is meant to be more polished than the original DUSA and it is in some respects, but I'm not quite as fond of the game, or rather, it doesn't hold the same memories as the original. The visuals have been cleaned up a good deal and the game has more cars and tracks, but the controls were modified to be more realistic, which isn't surprising since this game was done by the folks who made Sega Rally Championship. A Daytona game with Sega Rally handling takes quite a bit of getting used to, especially since the track design isn't quite as accomodating, IMO. Nevertheless DUSA:CCE is a quality Saturn racing game.

People already know I'm not a big sports or racing game fan (I play more racers than pure sports titles), but I upload games like this every so often. Enjoy.

This updated version used a modified Saturn engine from Sega Rally Championship considering that Daytona CCE was developed by Sega-AM3 (Hitmaker), who worked on the aforementioned game.

The Japanese version, Daytona USA: Circuit Edition (released a few months later) included both the arcade and CCE soundtracks, and also brought back the original control scheme.

@aubba it doesn't.

Im amazed about how much better this looks compared to the first Daytona Usa on Saturn, that one had some ugly-ass pop-up, it was really distracting.

Does this CE include the original music tracks with vocals? Kinda weird to race on Seaside street galaxy withouth hearing: I WANNA FLYYY SKY HIGHH!

I bought the original version for the saturn back in 1995 and I though it looked great and was fast paced..... until I played the arcade version on emulator recently..... damn I realised it was slow and sluggish...... I never bought the Championship edition but maybe I should have.... 30fps instead of 20fps for the original.

even the dreamcast has this type of pop up

@Scourgeandmephiles93 Yes, it did have online functions. Look up the Netlink Cartridge.

How do you drive this effectively? When I try the drifting I end up sideslamming into a wall.

@SegaFanatic5188 Are you saying that the Sega Saturn had online functions?

[Vysethedetermined2]

@SegaFanatic5188 Yep.
