New video update which shows off some of the in game environments, i think it's looking fantastic. WiiU is going to have quite a pick of games in the racing genre to satisfy racing fans, with this, MK8, Project Cars, All-Star Racing and Fast Racing Neo, here's the link http://n4g.com/news/1403962/the-90s-arcade-racer-new-video-shows-off-the-games-environments

Had my eye on this for a while, I love the way it recaptures the style of classic arcade racers like Sega Rally.

I'll be buying this, Mario Kart 8, and FAST Racing Neo.

Bet with Einsam_Delphin: I say a ground-up Wii U Zelda won't release in 2014. (Hyrule Warriors doesn't count)
Bet with fatslob: I say Watch Dogs Wii U will be technically inferior to the 360/PS3 versions according to Digital Foundry.
Bet with Einsam_Delphin: I say Monolith Soft's X won't release in 2014.

What is this beauty?

Just looked it up. They never made a console version, is that right? Looks like an awesome game.

Nay, no console port. It would have been an easy port as well considering the arcade machine is basically a Dreamcast.

This game does appear to be almost perfectly emulated. That video is from an emulator.

No, it wasn't. Scud Race was an Model 3, which was a PPC architecture, so it woudln't have been an easy port.

But man, I remeber the 90's... I spend so much money on Daytona USA, Sega Rally and Scud Race back then... Of course I bought the Saturn in the 90's and played the hell out of Daytona and the very good port of Sega Rally!

 

On-Topic: Game looks awesome! Great music, nice environments! Add some songs like Daytona did! :D

Well I'm no expert on the subject, but it appears the Model 3 and Naomi board were pretty similar. Both used RISC arcitecture. The Naomi board and Dreamcast share the same CPU and GPU.

Several Model 3 games were ported to the Dreamcast so it must not have been very difficult to do. Eitherway, Sega put a lot of driving games on the Dreamcast. Maybe they felt other driving games were stronger than Super GT.
