Yep, right there in black and white in the copyright section.
This is an IP that was mainly created for arcades (was this Nintendo's last original arcade IP?) but Midway took most of the control of it somehow, I guess Nintendo were cool with it.
Funny enough that the creators I believe formed Raw Thrills and created the Fast & Furious arcade games which literally look like the successor to Cruis'n.
Also funny that Cruis'n Wii was just that, I believe a Wii version of the first F&F game they did without the license, but the port was horrid (where do you think the Car Vault meme came from?).
But the later entries in the arcade while not pushing graphical boundaries, I think Nintendo should get someone, Raw Thrills or an external dev to do that same thing but RIGHT this time.
The last one was Fast & Furious: SuperCars:
The game runs in 1080p and 60fps IIRC. I think a Wii U port would work well. Now should it be retail? I think it'd make a neat budget release personally ($20).
Aside from the usual "but it's not Mario or Zelda", I'm surprised Nintendo hasn't touched the IP.
The other thing they could do is totally reinvent it as a crazy arcade racer, and who better to do that than *drumroll*...
A reboot of Cruis'n from the creators of Excite Truck, on Wii U. Why is this not a thing now?
Edit: Fixed the box if people were having trouble, also shrank the file size.
