Daytona USA???

6 posts by 6 people · 14 Mar 1997 - 18 Mar 1997

I justed downloaded a demo of Daytona USA for Windows95 from the net, and they said that it was also available for the Nintendo 64! I haven't seen it or even been able to find anyone locally that knows anything about it. All they say is "oh you mean that Sega game?". I love that game, does any one know if it's available yet for the N64? Anxiously, Chris Sanborn ==================================================================== - .------.

Mate, I think someone is pulling your chain. Daytona in Win 95 is terrible, I was so disapointed with the demo, although the full product is supposed to be much better.

It is not available for the N64 and will not be made available. Sega and Nintendo don't usually make games for each others systems. There are no good racing "SIMS" for the N64, however, WaveRace 64 and Mario Kart 64 are both great racing "GAMES". Don Chapman

I justed downloaded a demo of Daytona USA for Windows95 from the net, I was wondeng what the gas and brake were set at? The track from what I have seen doesn't look like Daytona at all.

Daytona is as much a racing "game" as WaveRace, MarioKart, JetMoto, or any other arcade racer out there. This is no true simulation quality to Daytona at all. I guess they forgot to take out the Swiss Alps out of the beackground of Daytona USA. I mean, I've been there twice and there ain't no mountains in FLA. --bill

Daytona USA for the pc could have been a good arcade racer if they would have patched the joystick and menu option problems with it (namely better support for the thrustmaster wheels, and saving your option settings fully upon exit). When it was initially released, I spoke with a representative of sega (through e-mail) who promised thet these bugs and others would be fixed with a patch to be released... it (the patch) was ever made. I continued to contact tech support through e-mail, and the last word (a month and a half ago) was that now the patch release had been postponed indefinitely. Save your money, and buy Grand Prix II, or Nascar II/Indycar II or something along those lines, at least those have some measure of support, even if only from the user base, Daytona USA doesn't even have that!
