According to a recent Classification Board of Australia listing, Sega could be gearing up for a re-release of its smash hit arcade racer Daytona USA. The classifcation listing simply says the game was submitted for classification by Sega, was classified with a G rating on September 14, 2011, and will be multi-platform.
Given Sega's predisposition to re-release Xbox Live versions of classic Dreamcast and Gensis titles (Sonic the Hedgehog series, Sega Rally series, Crazy Taxi, etc.) it is looking likely that the publisher is prepping the arcade race for a re-release on both XBLA and PSN in the not too distant future.
Daytona USA was first released in arcades in 1993 and is still considered to be one of the highest grossing arcade games of all time. Sega re-released the game in arcades in 2010 as a Sega Racing Classic. Sega also released a Dreamcast version of the title, Daytona USA: Network Racing, in 2010 and added online play. The game featured 10 circuits (three from the original arcade game, two from the Daytona USA Championship Circuits Edition arcade game, and five new circuits) and various customization options.
GameSpot has contacted Sega for comment and will update this story as news comes in.
