Estimate on this Saturn shopping list...

Okay, you diehard collectors. If you could give me a rough estimate on how much this all will cost me, I'd be much beholdin' to ya. (Especially if you could estimate the obviously pricey ones separately, like Guardian Heroes and Burning Rangers.) I don't need 'ow, that game is no good' so much as 'this is what it's going to do to your wallet'. I would like them in good condition, complete, so please take that into account. Although I guess I will ask - what do you think of this shopping list? Anything I'm missing/insane to include?

I'd try and tackle that... but I have real life matters that are more important right now. Sorry. :(

"JAP Daytona USA CCE Netlink" does not exist. "Netlink" was only used in the US. In Japan, it was called Seganet. Daytona USA CCE was called Daytona USA Circuit Edition in Japan, and I'm not sure if it supported Seganet or not, but there definitely wasn't a separate Seganet edition.

If your mistake was just that you meant the US release of Daytona USA CCE Netlink, um, good luck getting that. If you meant the Japanese release of Circuit Edition, I'm not sure how much that goes for.

Another game that does not exist is US Street Racer Extra. It was released in Japan, and in Europe (minus the 'extra' in the title), but not the US.

You will need more than $100 to get all that. Perhaps much more.

Yeah, thanks for the corrections, J-Factor. I changed some things on my Excel spreadsheet and forgot to change all the cells.

Gee, that's a revelation. :p

Time to get a job if you are REALLY serious about this.

Daytona USA: Circuit Edition is a further-upgraded version of Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition, and was only released in Japan. It's compatible with Seganet via the XBAND modem by default; the Western CCE had two versions - CCE and Daytona USA: CCE Netlink Edition. CCE: Netlink Edition was a mail-order title only, so it's incredibly hard to come by.

Daytona USA: Circuit Edition isn't that rare within Japan - finding a copy for sale is another matter, though. One or two tend to crop up on eBay at a time.

Yeah, I play Daytona USA too much :/

I rented the US Daytona CCE (non-Netlink version) and I own the Japanese version. What upgrades did the Japanese version receive? I can't really notice any. And did these upgrades make it into the 2nd US version?

I think the Japanese version had better handling cars, better graphics and more options.

I think those upgrades made it in to the second US version, but it is pretty fucking rare. I still have yet to see a scan of it.

Who of you guys has MR bones for sale,im searching for it for a decent price.

The Japanese version adds in the original soundtrack (on top of the new soundtrack), lets you race at different times of day, and improves the handling. I think those are the only three differences. I certainly don't remember a graphics improvement when I played it, but that was back in 1997, so my memory may be slightly hazy.

Okay but is the Japanese version doable Due its languish.Can i folow the game in japanese and is there actually a Plot behind the game that has to be know,Normally i would like to buy it european but if the japanese one is no pain at understanding the game ill buy that one.

Daytona USA: CE adds in the original compressed chiptune/sampled vocals arcade soundtrack on top of the CCE soundtrack - not the Saturn port soundtrack, which is more redbook-sounding. You can map these to any course, as you could in CCE - it also adds the Daytona USA Medley, which is a fruity medley of all three original course themes.

Its handling is somewhere between CCE and the original Saturn port (which had identical handling to the arcade game, save from the lack of analogue brakes/accelerator). You can easily drift the Hornet round the Mount Sonic turn simply by braking and turning, but it's far more controlled than in the original - you can tap the side of the turn while drifting and simply lose speed and your direction, whereas in the original port you would crash & somersault.

You can also race in the morning, which makes everything incredibly bright, in the evening (sunset), and at night (pitch dark). In addition to the default mid-afternoon, of course.

Ary: There is no Japanese text in the game, it's all English. The manual and CD case are in Japanese, obviously.

edit: The Daytona USA 2001 banner in my signature leads to the Wikipedia page for the series. I've added a ton of stuff to it over the past week as my IP address and Internetsupergenius, so you'd better appreciate it >=)

So the 'best' Saturn version of Daytona is Daytona USA: Circuit Edition? (Japanese version.)

@David: Yeah, I'm planning on taking the Saturn on as my lifelong collecting goal.

Well, I wish you the luck I've had so far. :)
