Get out your robotic vibrato singing voice, as classic Sega racing game Daytona USA could be making a comeback in some form.
Some recently uncovered artwork for an arcade game called Sega Racing Classic came out of Sega Europe. While it doesn't actually say Daytona USA anywhere on the art, the Sega AM2 logo is there, as is the flashy cars and blue, blue skies we remember.
So where's the Daytona name? Kombo reports that EA may have the lock on the license. This name may be the workaround for Sega.
Also of note is the Ringwide logo. Ringwide is Sega's newest arcade tech, with power comparable to the Xbox 360 or PS3. I'm already thinking console port, though this game has not even been confirmed yet.

I'll say it again anyway.
ROOOLLLing-STAAAAAART!
Sarcasm aside, this is great news. I'd still love for Sega to dump the original Daytona onto Live, but a nice new game would be sweeter.
Just make sure you bring that cheesy japlish soundtrack too, Sega. Please don't mess this up, as Sega Rally Revo wasn't the greatest game.
PSN & XBL or die Sammy Sega.
I'd prefer the original SEGA Rally, to the quality of the Saturn version (but in HD) which was better than the arcade in some ways!
DREAMCAST 2 CONFIRMED
Prepare to have you asses kicked, Destructoid community. Daytona USA is one of my favorite Sega/arcade/racing games of all time, and not even Vexed Alex can beat me at this game without cheating.
And by cheating, I mean slamming me into the wall repeatedly.
Seriously, don't do that when you play Daytona USA. It's weak.
It reminded me of the most annoying song ever.
God... it's still in my nightmares...
Daytooonaaaaaa....
