Daytona USA endlich offiziell angekündigt

Daytona USA will be arriving with a staggered North America and European release. It will arrive on October 26 for NA and Europe on Xbox Live, and on October 25 in NA on PSN. The PSN version will be coming to Europe in “late November”.

Below is a list of features SEGA is touting in the press release:

-Relive your glory days of racing to the sounds of the original Daytona USA soundtrack, also available in Karaoke Mode

-Support for the Logitech GT Driving Force steering wheel controller on PS3, and all Xbox 360-supported steering wheel controllers

Oh and Peobo has confirmed this *IS* an arcade port of SRC. So controls *should* be 100% faithful to the original.

The game is being ported by the same team that previously worked on the home ports of Virtua Fighter 5, Virtual On Oratorio Tangram, After Burner Climax and Virtual On Force.
