Daytona USA Circuit Edition (デイトナＵＳＡ サーキット エディション) is a second update to the Sega Saturn version of Daytona USA.

Circuit Edition is also compatible with the Taisen Cable cable and allows for online play via the Sega Saturn Modem.

History

It was developed by Sega AM3 and builds upon the western release of Daytona USA: Champion Circuit Edition released several months prior. Whereas Japan did not receive Champion Circuit Edition, Circuit Edition reached Japanese stores in early 1997 and did not receive a subsequent western release.

Versions

Though the western Champion Circuit Edition and Japanese Circuit Edition are by-and-large the same game, Circuit Edition adds further tweaks to the formula, creating the definitive copy of Daytona USA for the Saturn. Circuit Edition extends the draw distance even further, swaps some textures and allows the user to set the time of day in which to race in, whether that be night, dusk or morning. On top of this, the arcade soundtrack is now an option, and new drift mechanics have been implemented, making the game control more similarly to the original arcade version.
