I wonder if the Nintendo NX is using the same tech so we can experience arcade graphics at home.

The AMC it's at is 15 minutes from my house in Chicago. Maybe I'll swing by this weekend and take some video.

OK, I'll admit a fondness for the Cruisn brand of middle-of-the-road racing videogames.

If it is Cruis'n Adventure you saw, can you grab some screens or even video footage when you're next there if possible please?

Certainly.

The stunt mode in Rush 2 was stupid fun. Played that shot for hours.

Hell yeah! And battle mode on SFR 2049 was so much fun. Lost hundreds of hours playing it with my friends on Dreamcast.

eesh, someone doesn't go to movie theaters.

I went to the Regal cinema in town tonight to see Captain America. They had one game and it was Fast and the Furious Drift. It reminded me of this thread and how unlikely it would be to see this game around here.

My brother used to love the original, I wonder if he would even be interested.

arcadehero responded to my questions in the comments section and clarified some bits:

As the CEO of Raw Thrills, Eugene is credited as the Executive Producer on all of the games they make. I know he’s more than just the money guy though – at every arcade trade show, you can always find him going around and playing all sorts of games to get a feel for them. He is definitely hands on with the games that RT releases. To give you an idea, we published this interview with him for last years major release of Jurassic Park, which helps provide an idea of how involved he is with the process: http://arcadeheroes.com/2015/02/23/qa-jurassic-park-arcade-eugene-jarvis/

I did ask a number of questions of the VP I know at Raw Thrills but he is travelling outside the US and wasn’t able to provide more details that I added to the post; so not sure yet who exactly has been working on the game other than it is the in-house RT team; hopefully we can find out soon.

As such, no info on a home port but based on their past history, such a thing is rare and likely up to the licensor. If a home port was on the table, it likely will be a few to several years before it happens as the target market for Raw Thrills is arcade operators. Short times between an arcade release and a home port often eliminates sales on the arcade side (kind of the, shoot-yourself-in-the-foot type of business model). As such, I don’t believe that a WiiU version would be in the cards unless Nintendo is planning on surprising everyone.

Unfortunately I wasn’t given details on the licensing situation so there is still a possibility that the reason why nothing has been done with the IP is that there is still something from Midway in the background (which would be with Warner Bros. now). Kind of like the odd situation with Nintendo and Ikegami Tsushinki regarding Donkey Kong Arcade. This might be a question that goes unanswered as usually the arcade companies don’t like to discuss details behind their licensing deals or they are not allowed to due to standing NDAs.

We’ll definitely reveal more as soon as we can find out; Thanks for the questions!

I loved driving over bambis in cruisin usa. too bad the n64 port was lacking that.
hopefully it's time for some delicious roadkill again in cruisin adventure

Hero of Legend · May 31, 2016

I remember a couple of people in here volunteering to grab some footage but nothing ever came up. Anyone see this themselves in the past month?

tfw when you will never play H2Overdrive at home

Yep. I've always been bitter about never playing H2Overdrive. Now I'm bitter about the new Cruis'n.

One day I will buy some Raw Thrills cabinets.

H2Overdrive for the uninformed:

And video of the greatest arcade boat racer you never played - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1rBbG8lDJk

I thought Crusin was one of the Ips WB grabbed along with MK etc. Once Midway closed down?

It's always been a Nintendo property, even though it was made by Midway.

Arcade? Aren't those just kid friendly gambling casino trainers now?

Give the machine a dollar and spon the wheel and you could win between 1 and 50 tickets!

Arcades are sad things now and to bad kids will never know the thrill of they way they used to be.
