- Cruis'n USA (Nintendo 64, 1-2 players, 1000 Wii Points): Hop into your virtually indestructible vehicle and commence your cruise through the N64's best approximation of the USA. We're not sure how you manage to survive the nightmarish elevator music nor the sudden, neck-snapping stop at the finish line, but at least you can look forward to a digitized woman waggling a trophy in your face.
- Wonder Boy (Master System, 1-2 players, 500 Wii Points): You, Tom-Tom. Girlfriend, Tanya. Must save Tanya. Fling hammers. Murder snails. Ride skateboard. Wonder why girlfriend has such modern name.

They shouldn't have released Cruisn' USA, but they can't just U TURN it now, can't they?

Starting at 400 wii points was the rumor. Like how Sin & Punishment is 1200. But I put this in the same category that TMNT 1 is 600 points for that bug riddled NES game.

I loved Rush, that would be SO awesome if they released it on the VC.

So, Ill admit this. When I read Cruisin USA was on VC, I thought 'Damn, it couldn't sell enough so they released it that way?' Then my sleeping mind woke up more. Time wasn't good to the series, but, at least it isn't a lie like the Fast and Cruisin game.
BTW, Cruisin USA looks better.

The cruis'n games were awesome. You always had to give the gas a double pump in order to get that speed burst.

If they were going to release a third party racing game for the N64, it really should've been BEETLE ADVENTURE RACING.
Now, where's my MAJORA'S MASK, SUPER SMASH BROS. and MARIO PARTY....?

I believe it's the power to kill a yak from 200 yards with mind-bullets.

Wonderboy should definitely be Rock Band DLC.

My girlfriend just bought a Crusin' USA cart last week. I'd never played it (my friends and I were always MK64/DKR fans), but she insisted I try it. Luckily it was also only $10.
BTW, yes. I DO keep my N64 hooked up.

At least Cruisin' USA is better than the Wii's Cruisin'...

Cruisin' USA? I mean, I don't buy VC games in the first place (until Mario Party 1 & 2 come out, hint hint Nintendo), but they could have AT LEAST released Cruisin' World, which is slightly better as bad games go.

I never knew that they said that in Cruis'n too. Probably because the attract mode was muted on all the machines I played. Ah, those were the days.

The guy that made the video fails for not using a dirty word as his initials.

I actually simulated playing Cruis'n USA by downloading "Bluegrass Boogie" and playing it (via custom soundtrack) on my 360 version of Test Drive Unlimited. I was dissapointed to find that doing this did not magically make flies splatter onto my windshield. So... yeah... I'll be re-buying this on the VC.
