LMAO!!

You see, this is exactly the kind of material that PS3 fanboys use to bash the Wii.

Haha, but Cruisin' USA was like, the awesome-est game ever. I loved it so much :)

As a matter of fact, I think I still have it laying around here somewhere...

Yeah, I cracked up just reading the title of this when it popped up in my reader. And it really is surprising how close the two are - have the creators of Cruisin' not seen SMG or MP3? Did no-one send them a manual on how to program for the Wii?

cruis'n USA used to be my favorite game! (long ago).
but this matter is not funny. wii owners don't have any good racing games (and don't say excite truck or bongo blast). the best racing experience we have is probably wii fit jogging or olympic dream race. i'll be diligently waiting for f-zero, wave race, or rush.

I just feel bad for the developers on it. I doubt any of them are happy with the game, or maybe it's a really young team's first attempt. Whatever the case, this game is getting shat on and hopefully it makes them step up.

Don't really care about Cruis'n. For those fortunate enough to have multiple consoles, I'm sure racing fans are eager for the next Burnout. I do, however, care about the Wii, and really hope this game hits shelves with much higher quality.

ROFL! Never get tired of that moaning song on LA Highway. Yeah I still have Cruisin' USA on my 64, wouldn't mind a multiplayer port for the DS actually. Always considered it the best of the franchise.

Nintendo needs to bring back their Seal of Approval thinga-ma-jiggy.

The Seal of Quality only meant the game would run on the hardware properly, not that the game was any good.

It means that now... but when it was first announced it represented quality:

Ahahahaha.....ahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I knew this would happen. People bitched and moaned about the Nintendo Seal of Qaulity back in the day because it severly hindered the amount of games that came to its console. But I for one liked it. Then when they change the policy to be more friendly to 3rd parties we start noticing all these shitty games being shoveled out and demand quality control!

People are fucking stupid, I for one personally loved the Seal of Quality idea.

As I was watching the video I was thinking that they did a really good job of updating the graphics and adding new levels.

Then I realized that this wasn't a download from the Wii store, but a title made specifically for the Wii and sold in stores.

WTF?

Damn.. the only difference is a slightly better frame rate.. How can this be!?

And the elements in screen, in the N64 game the trees, bridges, and stuff just pop up in the screen seconds before you reach them, in the Wii version they are always...

But I have to agree, this is some kind of sick joke to all Wii owners...

I'd rather play the original.

In fact, *hooks up N64*

looks more like an SNES to GCN comparison to me.

Oh god, I thought I was watching a VC version of the original game that had been retouched. Is this actually supposed to be a Wii game? If it is, it's offensive.

Not as offensive as Crysis only selling 80,000 copies...but still...pretty offensive.

It looks alot better than the N64 version, but it looks alot worse that a gamecube game.

looks like a pretty big difference between the two. Not wii-grade difference, but certainly early n64 vs late playstation.

You do know that n64 was graphically superior to the playstation, right?

My experience with n64 games has been that of a blocky mess, while my experience of playstation has been a more refined blocky mess, i dont recall ever seeing sprites as good looking as the ones in ff9 in an n64 game,or environments as good as silent hill but feel free to show me something to the contrary.

I think I'd rather play the N64 one. That one's clearly funnier.

Wow, thats funny.. The N64 actually did better IMO since they realized that the golden gate bridge is red ROFL.

Come on Midway, this is really the worse game ever see since the snes era.
You need to put the Stranglehold team to develop the next Cruis'n for Wii next-gen title!!

Cruis'n has to be my most disappointing game of the year. I love this franchise so much and when I heard it was coming to Wii I was excited despite the crap graphics. Truth is that "Cruis'n" is a three year old Fast and the Furious arcade game with the license stripped off.
