Daytona USA brings a comeback to arcades in high-def as ‘Sega Racing Classic’

Sega brings a comeback to an old classic, Daytona USA!

This game will have revamped High Definiton graphics and keep the original soundtrack as it was heard in the original. According to sega, the game will run on a 32″ wide LCD screen, and will run at 1280×720 (720p) resolution. The cabinet will also be powered by Sega’s latest hardware, Ringwide.

Unfortunately, for copyright circumstances, Daytona USA had to be renamed to ‘Sega Racing Classic’. Many other things might be changed in the game besides the title.
So look in arcades near you, Sega Racing Classic might be speeding by soon!

Gamescom: judgement time

The crew of NiSuTe arrived a few days ago on Tuesday at the Gamescom just to find us up to our necks in work. Struggling to get to all developers in time since the place is huge and having the hardest time to even find the time to write about it, the whole team pushed the boundaries of overtime (working from 7:00 AM to 3:30AM, YES that is only three and a half hours of sleep and that for 5 days in a row!) It was almost getting the better of us with people falling asleep while writing, but this all meant nothing in the face of so many games to conquer. Blizzard, Capcom, and Sega were most definitely the best interview partners this event, with the bringing of great games for us to write about. All in all a great start for a first time event. We are looking forward to going next year.

ForeGames grand opening in Breda

Saterday at 10 in the morning. Dragan, Daniel and Patt are putting the final touches to the new shop in Breda the Netherlands. A swift look around the shop and Dragan makes the call. It’s time to open up! Patt rounds up the kids and hands out the succors here they go. In front of the shop a pretty orange ribbon hangs from one to the other end of the shop’s doorway. Several cameras (including that of NiSuTe Europe) film and photograph the event of cutting the ribbon!

Although the weather is acting up on it all there are still several customers that found their way in to the shop (and after a bit of a slow start and when the sun started to shine it filled up rather fast. Daniel who gave me a tour true the huge gameshop told me they were extremely proud on their retro corner where a huge DK wall painting could be seen. The shop isn’t fully filled yet he told me and there will be much more coming soon.

As the time past by and I was finished with drooling all over the incredible looking new floor it was time for me to say bye and good luck. As I did I saw everyone were hard at work to keep up with the demand. And to me that looks like this shop will be a huge success like the one they have in Tilburg!

Once again NiSuTe Europe wishes ForeGames (our local provider for all our games, hardware and other software) all the best and good luck with the great new shop!!
