The Japanese CE is superior to he original and CCE, best of both worlds.
I've played the Japanese Circuit Edition, but I don't think it really has as good gameplay as the original Daytona TBH.Quote:

It got over $500 and didn't sell, reserve not met, then it turned up with the above mentioned BIN price. I know a guy willing to pay $600 for it, but has yet to find a copy.
It's improved a bit over CCE but the car still handles like crap compared to the original IMHO.Quote:

I never played the US CCE so I can't comment on that, but I've played the Japanese CE extensively, even in system link 2 screen play. I have played the JPN version and then gone to the arcade directly and played the sitdown unit and notice no major variation in how the stock car handles.
Playing with the analog pad on Saturn, (with analog brake and gas of course) I am able to take every turn, do every powerslide, and draft behind cars, just the same as I do in the arcade. When I played regularly my lap times were almost the same as I would achieve in the arcade (slightly slower on Saturn - but I'm without a wheel and actual stick shift of course (btw, the Saturn wheel really sucks without analog gas and break).
I really have no idea how anyone can say anything other than the Japanese CE is the very best racer on Saturn, and a damn good arcade port.
I'm gonna go with Badnusty here and say playing Daytona with a digital pad ruins the game. I'm sure it'd play better with an analog controller.Quote:

I probably need to get a replacement, I tried to tighten up the control stick and now it can center properly. I move the control stick back but the car (in Sega Rally) doesn't go in a straight line, it jitters.Quote:

Then why don't you play it that way?Quote:

Dragon Force is cool, I like it. It's no Panzer Dragoon Saga, though.
Because my 3D pad isn't working. It never has really. I bet I'm gonna have to buy another one...Quote:

Dammit... I wouldn't know because I never tried my 3D pad with Daytona USA.
Guess I'll have to stick to Sega Rally to get my racing fix... I don't like how the cars automatically center in Daytona USA.
Heh, I don't like how the cars in Sega Rally don't automatically center myself.Quote:
