It does feature damage effects that can alter the way your car handles. It is the kind of racing game that anyone can pick up and play. The gameplay does resemble the Daytona that we all know and love from the arcade. Shaving off seconds here and there on your best times is very addictive. The racing feels loose, arcadey and it is fun to pick up and play.
I must admit there is still a lot of charm to this game. While the game may look very downgraded from the arcade original. Sega wanted this as a launch game for the Saturn and as a result, it had to be rushed out of the door and that is the reason for all of the pop-in. Some may think that Daytona USA was a game that was too complicated to port to the Sega Saturn. However, it is not, the actual road in front of you will pop-in as well. You are driving on a bridge and the bridge is being constructed as you are on it! If it was just the scenery that was popping in as you drove, I could maybe deal with that. I have to say that the Sega Saturn port of Daytona has the worst pop-in I have come across in any video game! I legit cannot do justice just how bad the pop-in this game has is. Still, being able to play Daytona USA in our homes at the time was a huge deal. This was an arcade port so that is the reason why the content is rather shallow. You can play against a friend or do a time trial as well. You can race on their tracks, but there are mirror tracks as well. You get to pick from a handful of stock cars and you need to try and win the races. Saturn emulation is also better than ever thanks to continuous development of several emulators like: Mednafen, SSF, Yabause and YabaSanshiro.Let’s start with the point of the game. But nowadays 2D games thrive once more, people now learned to appreciate pixel art and even low resolution polygons. Back in the day 2D games were considered obsolete. Yes, Saturn games have a different look and feel than PS1 games. I rather focus on the good games it left us.
But you can read all about it on the wikipedia page. The console was not a success in North America, there's quite a bit of drama about what killed the Saturn: be it the complicated dual CPU, difficult third party development, high price, lack of a Sonic the Hedgehog game, the Sony PlayStation or all of the above. The Saturn was released in Japan in 1994 and one year later in North America and Europe, it's a 5th Generation 32 bit console, successor to the 16 bit SEGA Genesis (MegaDrive in Japan and PAL territories). After this we start with the classics in NTSC-U version. Our SEGA Saturn or SS for short collection has just started, we wanted to start big so right away we upload a new translation of a Japan only game (Sakura Wars). Download Sega Saturn ROMs and ISO files for your Saturn emulator.
