Daytona USA Championship Circuit Edition Overview
Daytona USA Championship Circuit Edition Free Download for PC is a racing arcade game by Sega, specifically designed for the Sega Saturn. Released in 1996, it is a reworked and extended version of the original Daytona USA, developed by Sega-AM3, the second-party developer that oversaw the mostly arcade-perfect Saturn port of Sega Rally Championship, by using a modified version of the Sega Saturn engine of Sega Rally Championship.
This version was originally released in Europe and North America (with some modifications done in the subsequent Japanese release), and drastically reduced the popup that was prevalent in the original Sega Saturn version of Daytona USA. With the increased framerate (now a solid thirty frames per second) came a new selection of cars, two new courses and a 2-player mode. Daytona USA: CCE is compatible with the Saturn's 3D analogue control pad, in addition to the Arcade Racer steering wheel and the Virtua Stick accessories. The European release is notable as the game did not feature the «black bars» at the top and bottom of the screen that are usually associated with the majority of PAL games of the era — the box even boasts «slick new full screen graphics».

The game also sported a soundtrack by Richard Jacques and Jun Senoue which, while featuring remixes of the original tunes and several new ones, did not feature the original tunes themselves. Daytona USA Championship Circuit Edition Download free Full Version.
It was also separately released for the Saturn as a Netlink-compatible title, entitled Daytona USA: CCE Netlink Edition. Although the accolade is commonly ascribed to Panzer Dragoon Saga, this NetLink version of Daytona USA: CCE is in fact the rarest North American Sega Saturn game.[citation needed] It was available only through Sega's online store, and making it even more rare is its almost total lack of distinguishability from the regular version of Daytona USA: CCE: the only notable differences are the additions of a black-and-white NetLink booklet with the standard booklet and a small NetLink logo on the game disc. This edition fetches up to US $1,900 (August 2013) on eBay, in the rare instances it does pop up.
The game retained the «Dancing Jeffry» feature from the Seaside Street Galaxy from the original Daytona USA. Jeffry is actually one of the main characters from Virtua Fighter, but a statue of him was created in the course as a secondary feature. Just like the original Daytona USA, you have to press X while being in front of Jeffry to make him dance.
Other versions
Daytona USA: Circuit Edition (Sega Saturn) (Japan)
After the release of Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition to the Western Saturn market, a further-updated version was later released in Japan as Daytona USA: Circuit Edition.
This version has the soundtracks from both the original Daytona USA arcade game and the remixes from Championship Circuit Edition, in addition to an eight-minute-long medley of all three original track themes (called 'Daytona Medley').
It also allows players to alter the drift mechanic by choosing between slow, normal and quick in the options menu — quick allows the cars to drift more easily while slow lends them a weightier handling. It also added the ability to play at night, dusk, or morning (by holding X, Y or Z on the controller as the 'START YOUR ENGINES' screen was displayed).
The Japanese version of Daytona USA: Circuit Edition also features a link mode which allows two Sega Saturn consoles to be linked together, emulating the arcade feature.
Aside from these differences, it is identical to Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition.
