Nintendo seemingly owns the rights
When I tell people I haveaCruis’ngame collection, half the responses I get are “huh?”
It’s a relic of the past, something that went out during the decline of the arcade era — at least, that was the cast until recently. Raw Thrills (in conjunction with Nintendo, who owns the rights to the series now that Midway is kaput, has announcedCruisn’ Blast, and get this — Eugene Jarvis, the original creator of the franchise, is back as the head of Raw Thrills.
The follow-up is coming “exclusively to arcades” for now, with a 43″ 1080p screen, GTX 750 Ti Nvidia-powered visuals, and up to eight-player multiplayer. If this does well, and I hope it does, maybe we can get a console port on the NX?
