Wii's first force feedback wheel looks great, seems pointless
Yes, pointless. As much as we love our Wii, it's not exactly creaking under the weight of great racing titles. There's Game Night favorite Mario Kart Wii, which is really fun, but that already comes with its own wheel, which works surprisingly well. And after that, we have (in order of GameRankings....
VC Monday Madness video wrap-up 3/31/08
This week sees another duo of titles available for play. One of them is N64 title Cruis'n USA, while the other launches a new system on the Virtual Console for North America. Hit up the video above for your usual dose, then head past the break for some added fun....
VC Friday: Commodore 64 hits the ground running
Ladies and gents, let's make some noise for the latest addition to the PAL European (sorry, Aussies) Virtual Console, the Commodore 64. Woo! Yep, after what feels like an eternity, the fondly remembered platform has made its Virtual Console debut with two of the strongest titles from its vast li...
Comparing Cruis'n on N64 and Wii (you know, because it's funny)
We haven't laughed this hard since Seinfeld was new (actually, a couple of episodes of Arrested Development had us laughing this hard). Cruis'n on the Wii is kind of like the joke that never dies here at the Wii Fanboy offices. Now, as if from some kind of divine intervention, we have more fuel for...
Cruis'n vaults to the top of the Amazon charts, thanks to price cut [update 1]
Well, the top of the Wii Racing/Flying section of the Amazon charts, anyway. Well, #2. So, really, the part about "the top of the charts" is misleading. It's on the top area of some charts. But it's Cruis'n. This is the only measure of success it'll ever see. Let Cruis'n have its day. How did Midw...
Cruis'n (ironically) looks like a train wreck
Listen, we know that the Wii doesn't have a ton of processing power under the hood, but is it really necessary to also release games that look like Cruis'n? It's like forcing the asthmatic kid in your gym class to wear a "World's Best Breather" T-shirt. It's just unnecessarily cruel. Of course, th...
We're feel'n traumatised from look'n at Cruis'n
Remember how we were getting "an all new version" of Cruis'n for Wii? Well, if this is what passes for "all new," we'll take some old junk, please. Or nothing. Or an eye wash. Of course, this Cruis'n game is, in reality, as "all new" as it is attractive-- based on menu images, it's apparently a re...
Midway has another Wii exclusive in Cruis'n
Midway follows up its minigame entry into the Wii library with a racing title called Cruis'n. In "an all new version of the classic Midway arcade racer," racers will navigate twelve different courses and earn upgrades, allowing them to "create the ultimate ride." As far as what ultimate rides ther...
Midway announces Cruis'n, exclusively for Wii
Another Wii exclusive from Midway announced this morning, this time it's Cruis'n, "an all new version of the classic Midway arcade racer." We're at least heartened to hear that it's an all new version, and not a simple port of the classic arcade game. Of course, being a Wii exclusive, you can expe...
