THE LEGEND RETURNS!

Why's this in the Wii forum? 
 
Anyways, hope it's real, I'd even go for a remake of Daytona 1 or 2, but I'd rather have a full new one.
 
edit - says Ringwide, which is fairly high spec hardware, so that pretty much eliminates a perfect Wii port at least.

It is? My bad, I thought I was browsing general. Someone move it, since there's no platform mentioned.

I didn't say perfect ports, I said quality 60fps ports :-)

Sold.

Sweet news! 

Oh, and RingWide is actually the more modest version of the hardware (single core and what not) while they're based on Windows so their performance is probably quite a bit lower to what the raw specifications would indicate, and is perhaps the reason they have so much ram (much more than any current home system, so this would indicate a far from perfect port for any home version actually).

Anyway, this could very well be the one racing game (other than Trackmania) I buy for PC and it makes me get my first wheel on top, but if not, and there is a Wii version, I wouldn't mind if it was based on the Outrun 2006 engine (improved and optimised) as long as the modes, content and handling were there. I dunno why you felt the need to point out a Wii version couldn't be perfect when I clearly stated I'd like to see a quality version on every system. A PSP version wouldn't be perfect either, and due to the amount of ram, the other versions would most likely suffer too.

Why are you posting then? Just to rack up as many posts as you can in a single minute? What gamer hasn't heard of Daytona anyway...

I'd rather they put Daytona 2 out for download and some of the other Model 2 stuff that was butchered on the Saturn.  I don't know if I trust the Sega of 2009 to get something like this right.
