Sega offers first look at Daytona’s arcade return

The unlikely return of retro classic Daytona to arcades has been seen in motion for the first time.

Daytona Championship USA 3 is available to play for attendees of SEGA’s booth at today’s IAAPA Attractions Expo 2016. The developer has deliberately given it a vector retro look that’s wonderfully reminiscent of the original.

There’s no word yet on a release on home consoles or PC, but you’d think it’s a certainty?

Daytona USA debuted in 1993 and quickly became an arcade hit. Two years later it migrated from its AM2 arcade platform to homes via a Sega Saturn release. A PSN and Xbox Live arrival followed much later in 2011.

Sega Rally next please, yes?
