Sega and Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio have revealed that the classic Sega racing game Daytona USA 2 will be returning to the world of Like A Dragon/Yakuza later this month, inside of Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii.
Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii is the latest spin-off from the long-running Like A Dragon/Yakuza series and is scheduled to launch across PS4, PS5, PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S, on February 21st.
Much as with previous entries in the series, it is again set to feature several virtual arcades filled with classic Sega arcade games for players to visit, with Daytona USA 2: Battle On The Edge being included on the list of titles that are set to make an appearance.
The game will appear under its non-licensed title Sega Racing Classic 2: Battle On The Edge, and will technically mark the first time its original version has ever appeared on a home console, with Like a Dragon Gaiden: The Man Who Erased His Name previously featuring its revised Power Edition, instead of the initial release.
In contrast to the original, this Power Edition notably revamped the car physics, in addition to introducing an altered beginner's track, and an additional fourth "challenge" track, alongside other small changes not present in the original machine.
This will inevitably be exciting news for fans of the classic Sega racing series, though we expect there are many out there who would have probably preferred for the titles to have been released separately too.
What do you think? Will you be playing play Daytona USA 2 when Like a Dragon: Pirate Yakuza in Hawaii releases later this month?

Really cool they gave us both versions. Most times I feel like companies would give us the updated editions of arcade titles like this and call it a day, but I'm glad at least RGG cares enough to keep making these available.
Would absolutely love it if they include FFB wheel support in this version. It doesn't even register a wheel being connected in Like a Dragon Gaiden's arcade games. (Which I mean, I guess I understand.. Would still be neat though...)
While this is great, it would be even greater if Sega just stops fartarsing about and gives us a proper collection of these games.

I'd buy it and i doubt i would be the only one.
Battle on the Edge has some of the coolest track designs in any racing game ever. I still don't get why these aren't separate games. I would instantly buy them.
I thought the handling on the last version was awful, this any better?
For crying out loud; why the heck won't SEGA release the Daytona USA / "SEGA Racing Classic" games as stand-alone versions? We got exceptional versions of OutRun and Virtua Racing on Nintendo Switch, why not bring these as well?
