Daytona USA
Daytooooooooooooonaaaaaaaa! Let’s go away!Daytooooooooooooonaaaaaaaa! We. Can. Eat. We. Can. Eat. We. Can. Eat. WE EAT.
Oh come on, those really could be the lyrics for all we know. We’re talking about a studio that once graced us with the phrase, ‘Toot toot Sonic warrior’. In any event, Daytona USA is a beloved arcade staple famous for its revolutionary graphics and secret areas that mock you just for seeking them out. An enhanced port found its way to Xbox 360 in 2011, which was later made backwards compatible on the Xbox One. So yes, strictly speaking, this series has already landed on the console, in a peripheral sense. Partial credit!
But think about how sweet an actual sequel would be, complete with overhauled visuals and a suitably wacky new theme to go with it? The last original entry, Battle on the Edge, never even reached consoles after its 1998 release, and has been mostly lost in the annals of time. If Microsoft could somehow secure exclusivity, it would make a lot of old nerds very happy.
