Cruis'n Blast Track Showcase Emphasizes Its Wacky Side

All of the yes!
(Any chance of H2Overdrive too please Mr Raw Thrills, sir.)

Only slight concern here is that it looks like it may have the same floaty handling as the San Fran games. Otherwise I'm pretty excited for this.

I'd only just about got that song out of my head after the last trailer...

I'm looking forward to this. Was playing a Cruis'n arcade game at weekend in local bowling alley with my son and was great fun.

Is this getting a physical?

Either way I want to pick this up… have a price yet?

It looks perfect already, give it to me!

This looks like it might be the best racing game on the Switch!

@Stocksy I believe a physical copy was confirmed and I believe it's $40.

My interest has grown in this game. At first watching the E3 trailer I thought "looks cool but not a game I need to buy" but more and more I'm thinking this will be a surprise gem of a game. If it reviews well I will certainly buy it.

@SpringDivorce I loved Rush!! haha.

Why is this game so unrealistic? Don't they know that games should mimic real life as close as possible?

lol why did they make this

'British Invasion' sounds like the title of a dossier Boris Johnson would leave lying around Number 10.

Game looks great. The next four months are packed!

Hope this gets a demo. I'm always wary of racing games as the driving can either feel great or utter garbage lol.

It looks really fun, actually. There seems to be so many tracks!

Day one.

Looks exactly like the absurd 90's racer I want.

I haven't played any of the Cruisin games since Cruisin USA 64 (which I loved). Apparently the games took a left turn somewhere after that lol. It does look more like a San Francisco Rush descendant.

Still willing to give it a go.

@Dogorilla it’s an awful song. Thankfully it doesn’t play during gameplay. The game itself looks like a lot of fun .

This looks absolutley ridiculous....I'm in!!

Can't wait for this - exactly what switch needs. No high quality exclusive racers so far - this should be fun.

I know it won't happen, but everything is crossed for some easter eggs... Cruis'n USA.... Cruis'n World.... Cruis'n Exotica....

@sketchturner thanks. Just found it and preordered. Lovely thanks

I was on the fence at first, but this sold out for me.

I really hope they have a option to turn off that wonderful song.😵

@Dogorilla if they include the arcade version's attract mode (which in some loops it's mute for some reason), you'll hear that song there.

This looks like a lot of fun!
But graphically it looks like it's lacking shadows or something.. feels a little off

This could be great... I wonder if it will run at steady 60 FPS? If so, might need to have it around.

Is each track based on a location around the world like the previous Cruis’n games?

Not sure I’m keen on this “alien invasion” theme. Also the scenery looks pretty stiff and the set pieces purely aesthetic. The bus crash looked awful.

@ROBLOGNICK have you ever played the arcade version? this is a straight port. That game is fun as hell

I love how this is wacky. Too many games are trying to be like real life and real life can be pretty boring. Bring on the craziness

I wish they'd release the other's on a compilation cart.

This one looks ok and I might buy it but I'm not super into all the silly stuff and jumps and what not. I know they all are a bit crazy but this definitely looks a bit much like San Francisco Rush which I hated.

Will wait for reviews.

Got mine ordered!

@Stocksy yes hard release £29.99 September 14th

@WoomyNNYes Given that it's not a kart racer, I somehow doubt it.

tempted, as long as i don't have to listen to that song... has to be the worst, most annoying song i've ever heard. Like something from X factor.

@GrailUK I am in agreement with this monkey.

@Stocksy I preorderd a physical copy from Gamestop. Not sure if anyone else is offering it

Adding 25 new tracks is pretty insane. Like, the original arcade game had 5.

@gcunit Oh, you're right. I thought cruis'n blast had weapons/pickups and boost pads like a kart racer, but I don't see any in gameplay. I mainly saw checkpoint racing.

It looks great but the addition of oncoming obstacles on the track could be a distraction.

@Guitario I've watched direct capture footage of the arcade version and it looks identical. Keep in mind the arcade version came out in 2016 too. If you want to see yourself: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EGh2ZwWJSMs

@SpringDivorce Maybe that's just the track designs and locals reminding you of the RUSH games? The car handling looks quite far removed from them to my eyes.

Check this gameplay of the arcade version EDIT: that I just realised @vio also just linked

The game looks fun but it appears to be basically a full price game at $60AUD here in Australia.

Guess I'll wait for a sale one day.

So it's Hotshots racing with a bigger budget where the budget is spend on acid and shrooms, noted.
Good for a sale, not a racing guy but arcade racers always work for me.

@Andigaming AU $59 for a physical copy from JB Hi-Fi (for a new Switch game, no less) is pretty good I reckon - I pre-ordered as soon as it went live

@khululy It doesn't really look anything like Hotshots Racing - that was a circuit racer, this is a Cruis'n game - checkpoint to checkpoint

@Stocksy Best Buy and target have preorders already up. Physical is same price as digital also

@GrailUK Hydro Thunder, Hydro Thunder Hurricane and H2Overdrive 3 pack would be MEGA

@Gumbo1995 It would! But do you know what would be better? Midway Arcade Treasure re-relesing (with all the rush games) and H20 releasing alongside )different companies now, see)

I'm getting Need for Speed 2 vibes... must be the dinosaurs and the UFOs. ^^

So looking forward to this, pumped many pound coins into the arcade

@AJB83 Well I only bought the game recently and did only play hotshots on arcade mode which is checkpoint based albeit in a closed circuit, like Virtua racing.
I am also getting big Outrun 2 vibes (Why u no port that one SEGA idc about the licence)

@pepepopo yeah some of the tracks are taken from another super bike game that raw thrills made that runs on the similar engine.

Looks amazing. Really love the arcade game(s) and have fond memories of the old ones

@Stocksy It has already been announced that Cruis'n Blast will have a physical version in retail stores for $39.99 (USD). And Game Mill Entertainment will handle the physical distribution.
