Sega offers first look at Daytona’s arcade return

MCV Staff 16th November 2016 Business News

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?

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
