They used the holo-shark from BTTF2!
Also, that Virtua Racing big-forest knockoff is great
Saw that. Was just watching with my wife and was like "Holy shit, it's the BTTF shark!"

That shark still looks fake

I can't help hoping the devs unintentionally make it easy to replace the audio files so can I throw in the Daytona USA 2 music and announcer.
Incredible work, especially taking into account that they're using the Unity engine. Feels a bit slow. I'm looking forward to seeing an updated build down the road.
This too, I'd love to plug in the R4 soundtrack, maybe even the original Need For Speed 3D0 music too.

This looks great but there was an article on Nintendo Life ages ago about how this may be US only.

That video just gave me some good ol' Daytona/Sega Arcade racing vibes. Both in style and the way handling seems to work very much encompasses arcade racers from that era.
Man, I was already excited for Drift Stage, but hearing about this and seeing footage has me pumped way more. I need a new one of these games in my life.

Wii U, PC iOS as of right now.
Don't expect anything published by Nicalis to come out in Europe. At least not anytime soon after the US release.

Drifting doesn't look very compelling and sounds awful to me.
That could be what feels wrong about the drifting.

Not too impressed by this. It looks slow, the track is mostly straight and boring and the handling looks too stable and controlled. It looks the part on the surface, but I'll be truly surprised if they're able to pull off the nuanced car handling of the games they want to emulate. And for Christ's sake, change that stupid name.
that's the nicalis effect
Positioning on the smoke is off as well, but lack of speed is the main culprit.

Ever since they announced this game i wanted to know more...
The game looks amazing, reminds me of the good ol days of Sega games and Dreamcast. Looks like a mix of Daytona and Super GT.
More games like these should come out, i miss the simplicity of these games. Just racing and beating times.

Day 1. Get that sense of speed up, saturate the colors a bit more, and we are all good.

I love it, I hope it plays as well a its predecessors. This would be absolutely perfect on Vita (I have really fond memories of Ridge Racer on PSP), but Wii U works too.

Good to see an update just as I was wondering about the status of the game. It looks great! It has that old school racer feeling of the road moving under your car, rather than your car being on the road. That's not something I particularly care for, but it looks great nonetheless.
I would have loved to compose a 90s style dance music track for this game. I feel like it's the only thing it needs to get that authentic feel.

Have you a played an actual 90s arcade racer? That's part of the genre known as "Arcade Racer."

Now this I like! It's like a spiritual successor to Daytona USA. They definitely studied their Sega arcade racers when making this.

Wow, they really nailed the classic Blue Skies Sega look. I look forward to playing this in 20 or so years. (Or whenever Nicalis decides to release it.)
Sounds about right for Nicalis. They are terrible when it comes to publishing in Europe.

At least you can talk. Who are you?
Looks fantastic.
Of course not it's fucking Nicalis. Most useless publisher ever. Hope this will work well on my Mac then I don#t have to deal with this bullshit.

Yeah you're right. And yes I've played a ton of racers from that era, most of them in fact. But a lot of modern era ones as well. After playing the latter for so long its kind of easy to forget the style of the old games. I don't know why that little detail jumped out at me when I watched this vid this morning, I guess its the fact I was still waking up. That's the excuse I'm going with, anyway.
It looks really great. I still remember the day I pledged for this game, I was really young back then. I was hopeful and full of life. And then Nicalis was announced as a publisher for this ...
I don't know about this, there are a lot of pledges from Europe on the kickstarter, I hope Nicalis won't try to scam us.

Definetly looks good, OST is pretty weak, but aside from that I'm pretty much sold.
There's so few arcade racers these days. After Drift Stage demo I need more.
Thumbs up for excellent taste.
