Virtua Fighter 2 was mindblowing for its time. The arcade version was outstanding in itself, but the 1995 Sega Saturn version was nuts. Some of the finest, if not the finest character modelling of the entire generation, on top of that the games was rendered in a whopping 704x480 !!! (704x512 for PAL) and of course a solid 60 fps:

And obviously Daytona USA, Arcade version. Unbelievable that this game was released in 1993, it was fully 3D and was released same year as Doom, and a year before Donkey Kong Country, it looks like a Dreamcast game.
