News:: Daytona USA returning to arcades

It's been 18 years since Daytona USA 2 first hit arcades, but Sega announced yesterday that it's bringing a new version of the classic racing franchise "screeching into the 21st century." Daytona 3 Championship USA features the original three courses found in previous titles as well as three new tracks, including an updated recreation of the Daytona International Speedway from which the series takes its name. 

The original Daytona USA and its sequel should be familiar to anyone who frequented an arcade or owned a Dreamcast in the late '90s, and at the time, they were some of the best-looking racing games on the market. The catchy earworm that played in the arcade version's attract mode, on the other hand, is responsible for many senseless deaths. The new arcade cabinet's AI is based on the original game engine, so it should feel similar to the previous titles.
