Sega's Daytona USA is one of the most successful arcade games of all time, and it's easy to see why; it combines slick, intuitive racing gameplay with eye-catching visuals and surprisingly deep mechanics.
While the game was updated for the HD generation on PS3 and Xbox 360, it hasn't (so far) been announced as part of the Sega Ages range on Switch – and until that day comes, we'll have to make do with Super PowerUp's Speedway Racing, which does a pretty good impression of the coin-op classic.
The game boasts 20-car races, championship and arcade modes, 4-player multiplayer, online ranking and (ahem) "rock music".
We don't have a solid release date as yet, but feel free to feast your eyes on the screenshots and let us know if you'll be downloading this when it does eventually pull up on the eShop grid.

... rolling start!?
As someone who played Daytona USA on Dreamcast, I didn't know about this game and now I'm interested.
Screenshots look very promising, so they have my attention.
Need a review. Looks alright but could look better.
I take it this isn't "90's Arcade Racer" ?
Maybe it's because the cars are traveling at high speed but the graphics look PS2 standard at best.
To be fair though I'd be willing to over look that as long as the game play is decent
'Gentleman, start your ENGINES!"
Looks good, if it reviews well when it eventually releases they got a sale here!
DO DO DO DO DO DO DOOO DOOOOOOOOO
I wanna flyyyy sky hiiiigh!
Let's goooo togetherrr!
Looks extremely interesting. Waiting for a Daytona type on Switch.
Looks interesting. Lets hope this doesn't go the way on 90's Super GP
Wireless local play?
"They're making a left turn!"
"They're making ANOTHER left turn!"
EDIT:
Hey, someone got the reference.
I wasn't expecting that anyone would...
@Sunsy I bought Dreamcast + wheel and pedals because of Daytona USA.
Daytona USA cars on Dreamcast behaves like bricks with gamepad, but with Force Feedback Wheel it's a totally different game.
I wonder where "90's Arcade Racer" is.
Please don't F### it up. Just make a good uncomplicated arcade racer.
crosses fingers for a demo
@Dethmunk That's like almost 8 years ago now, and the game were finished years ago.
I think Niantic or something have the final game, but doesen't release it for some reason.
My left turns are on point.
I’m in. Hoping it has plenty of liveries and with a bit of luck we can make our own.
Looks good. Would love a NASCAR game on switch. The PSP nascar game was awesome.
@Marios-love-child
I dig it.
I still like the look of the Daytona and Ridge Racer arcades (not the Saturn/PS1 games though. yeech).
@sword_9mm YouTube rave racer arcade in 60fps and that game would be absolutely stunning on switch. 8 players wireless local play please.
@sword_9mm I was playing the Saturn version of Daytona on 55 inch screen last weekend, if you can get over the frame rate and pop up, it’s still very addictive
That 90s Arcade Racer...
Apex Racer...
nope, we have been abandoned!
Take your time Super Power Up. Asphalt 9 is my racer ATM.
@Ventilator I had the wheel but not the pedals. Daytona Dreamcast just felt so good. The Dreamcast steering wheel with Daytona is the most fun I’ve had with a driving game.
@gazamataz Yes. It were damn good. I have the official Sega Wheel and is why mine came with pedals. Both parts is heavy and solid built.
Ferrari 355 were also awesome, but there were a bunch og other great racers on DC like Le Mans, SF Rush 2049, Hydro Thunder and more.
looks pretty decent but I'd stil rather have the real thing with brue brue skies.
SEGA should pull their finger out and get Daytona USA on the Switch already even finally release Daytona USA 2 at last would prefer that over another port of Sonic 2
@Ventilator I only tried Daytona and the Ferrari game. Mine was also the official Sega steering wheel. I didn’t have the patience for the Ferrari game 😀
No pedals mind😟
I enjoyed the Ferrari game. But it was difficult. At least there was only so many courses and one car to master. But it was hard.
@sixrings it was hard. I didn’t have the patience for it. I bought it cheap so I probably didn’t give it a fair go 😉
@gazamataz yea with dreamcast and the bootleg games it was easy to keep it moving if you didn't instantly like a game.
Looks fantastic, if it could manage to run at 60fps (both handheld and dock) and plays good I might check it out.
It's funny how, back in the day, officially licensed sports games forced original or generic sports games out of the market, largely. Now we're in a place where generic versions of old licensed titles can fill a huge void. I hope they get the feel right and provide some nice tracks. From the screenshots, it looks like we're seeing three tracks, all ovals of different styles. I like ovals. I don't know how many tracks it's going to have, but it would be good to see some road courses similar to the Daytona games as well, if they're really intending this to be like Daytona USA. Several of those and several oval tracks sounds like a good variety for an arcade racer.
I love the slightly altered versions of real-life company logos. I might have to take a look at the Jec's catalog.
@gazamataz The Ferrari game were awesome. They had full focus on only one car in that game, and it were the first proper car simulator ever. It were made by Sega's best team, AM2 lead by legendary Yu Suzuki.
The "car sims" existing on PC at the time were unreleastic.
TOCA "simulator" on PC for example. On PC. One wheel outside dry asphalt, car spinned around instantly. Totally unrealistic as the real TOCA cars is very steady.
I have driven these kind of cars for real on a race track in racing competiton, so in know how they really are.
@Ventilator It did feel like learning to drive a car. Yu Suzuki and AM2 made wonderful games. I reckon if I’d given the game a chance I would have loved it .
I never felt the Ferrari game had a good sense of speed though
This is on the eshop and it does not say wireless local play. So I am going to assume just split screen since there's a screen shot
@sixrings @gazamataz Yes. I played it alot and i loved most of the soundtrack too. Dreamcast haven't aged badly like so many others, you can still play it.
I completed Propeller Arena on Dreamast as recent as 2 years ago or so. It only took just above an hour.
@sixrings The problem with many racing games.
If you want sense of speed play Forza 7 or Forza Horizon 4.
You can tune up any crap car to a supercar too.
@Ventilator I sold my xbox one x and all I miss is racing and sports games. I feel the switch is the perfect system to revisit old arcade games but clearly no one wants to port them. Sega rally 3, out run 2, scud race, rave racer, Daytona 2., crazy taxi, 18 wheeler. Obviously I'd like some soul caliber, Wayne gretzky 3D hockey, Virtua Tennis too.
@sixrings I never sell consoles. I still have Switch, PS4, Xbox One X, Xbox One, Xbox 360's, PS3, Wii U, Wii, 3DS, VITA, Gamecube, Dreamcast +++
Infact i barely sold anything i ever bought my whole life.
Soul Calibur is great, except for the newest SC 6.
SC 6 have barely any content, and looks like a 15 year old game.
I's only a budget game which were sold for 60 bucks.
The only Soul Calibur masterpiece ever made were on Dreamcast.
You can play these Sega games in either MAME or Sega Model x emulator.
This looks great but will it control like the awesome Daytona. We really need Sega and Namco to bring there arcade racers back!! Oh and all the amazing rail shooters as well please!!!!
I like demos, hope they have one
Developed by Super Power Up Games, this arcadey stock-car racer will feature a variety of different game modes, along with local multiplayer and online ranking. Speedway Racing will burn rubber on Switch on February 14, 2020 for $9.99.
@dethmart will we EVER get that game?? ☹️
SEGA!! You’re missing your window of opportunity here what the hell! Daytona please!! 🙄 I don’t mind the Sonic 2 port but cmon shake it up a bit? And where’s G-Loc already??
I'm still upset Sega Ages Virtua Racing had every single feature BUT WIRELESS PLAY!
I pray Daytona 2 doesn't suffer the same fate.
Yes!!!!! All that's left is a Cruise n' USA style racer!
90's Arcade Racer is becoming dead to me
So last I heard about 90s Super GP (90s Arcade Racer) it was obtained by Nicalis, publisher of Cave Story, Binding of Isaac, and Blade Strangers. There's a Switch trailer that Nintendolife posted but like everyone else I've been waiting since the Wii U.
I just found a video about what may have happened to 90s Super GP on YouTube, I will report back or try to submit it to the site.
Day one if it's even half-decent and less than £10.
I am still amazed by Grid. I have only 5 hours into it (playing other games) and i am savoring every race. I can't imagine getting another racing game anytime soon.
@YANDMAN Xenon racer. Its awesome all reviews were pre-patch. Only trick is youve to tap handbrake twice to drift.
@atomicjuicer Xeno racer is terrible and i play it on the PS4, god knows what the switch version is like.
@TrevorMcD Nicalis obtained it over two years ago. They put out a statement about six months ago saying it was still going to happen. In light of their recent issues and possible struggle to license and release new games this could actually happen.
@YANDMAN Whats terrible about it? I have it on ps4 as well (and xbox). Its my fave racer in many years. I wish more people liked it
@atomicjuicer it's pretty ugly, it doesn't play very well, whilst minimal now it still does have framerate issues, chear A.I. It was a game that was six months off of release when they released it. If you like it that is all that counts. But in my opinion it isn't a great game and i so wanted it to be.
I bought it (Speedway racing) and it was a misstake. The graphics is very simple and cheap bit worst of all is the car handling which is horrible. Might be the worst racing game a played in a really long time.
