Since it's been brought up a bit, re: no Lamborghinis in this game (while they are present in the arcade), pinning this explanation that I posted in the comments: The Lambo was removed from the 2020 version of the AC game (still present in arcades that didn't update the software). This is due to costs and the pandemic. Licensing some of these cars is not cheap, and we're not talking a few thousand dollars either (a brand like Toyota can want $500k+ to license their cars, as one example. Lamborghini is going to cost in that realm or more). Raw Thrills is not a big company, in no way comparable to a multi-billion dollar company like Microsoft; When the pandemic hit, Raw Thrills was in a precarious situation. Their sales dropped by 75%. Their *only* source of income has been arcade sales. They still wanted to produce new content, but they can't be stupid with how they spend their money. Arcade games cost in the realm of $3-$4 million to develop, which doesn't count other costs, like continued manufacturing, or license renewals. If the pandemic hadn't happened, then it's probable that there would have been no vehicle change, but we also probably wouldn't have got this port either. If they bankrupted themselves over licensing decisions, then no more company, no more games, and certainly no ports. Microsoft, as an example used in the comments, has the Xbox and all related accessories/merchandise; They have their PC business, industry/server businesses, etc. It's basically apples to oranges. Could the Lambo show up in the Switch port down the road? Sure, if sales are there to warrant it. The same goes for Cruis'n USA/World/Exotica ports. It all depends on how this game does.
That's what I don't understand. I enjoyed the hell out of USA/World which had no licensed vehicles. In fact, to my knowledge, the only vehicle changed in the N64 ports was the Porsche 911 Cabrio in World which looked proper in Arcade but was remodeled to look less like one in the N64 port. Can that not be done sensibly today? Cruis'n USA actually featured a Corvette C2 Stingray which is now available in Blast version 2.0/Switch. GTA does well making "represents a real life vehicle but is legally distinct because of cosmetic change 1/2/3/4." If it had meant more tracks/proper porting, I'd of been in favor of just them making their own knock-off variations. Then, not only could we have more vehicles, but more variety and not be tied to the BS of these licensing agreements. The Switch port removed the C7 Corvette and replaced it with a C8. Yet the C1 and C2 are added, probably because Chevrolet wanted the game to focus on their current production model over the outgoing C7 and knew the C1 and C2 would just bring nostalgia factor to the brand. Their overall hope is someone will want to buy a C8. Same goes for Nissan which only featured a 370Z and GT-R, but no previous models. The Hummer pick-up and Wrangler-knock off were removed and the Hummer EV was put in, again, because it's something GM is trying to sell. But without that license agreement, there is no "Feature this car or you can't have this one.." and other BS clauses they tend to include. Which would allow more variety/freedom.
@@whydoiexistrnwhy No not at all, I just wanted to get the right info out since a few people have been bringing it up (here and elsewhere) - it's all good!
This was a genuinely honest review and I have to agree with most of it. I feel more confident about buying this game now. Looks like I’m going to have a lot of fun!
Great review! There are more arcade ports coming to consoles these days, especially with the recent release of ESPGaluda II which is now localised, as well as Mushihimesama. If you add a steering wheel controller, you can nearly replicate the whole game overall! I suppose these days, its hard to come to the arcade these days and have a blast but we can now do this in the comfort of our homes!
@Arcade Heroes It would be nice to be able to use the cars from the original 2017 version of Cruis'n Blast in the Switch version, especially the Corvette C7, the Hummer HX, & the Lamborghini cars: Aventador, Huracan, Veneno, Countach, & Diablo. Not to mention that the closest thing we'll get to driving Lamborghini Cars in Cruis'n Blast again is driving the Police Cruiser in the Switch game, as it strongly resembles the Veneno. AND, you can still see the Lamborghini Aventador, Corvette C7 Z06, & the Hummer HX on the picture of the game's are cabinet in not just the trailer, but when the "Classic Arcade" selection is highlighted in the game's main menu, too. However, hopefully if we can reach Raw Thrills with feedback, AND if the game does well, all the 2017 cars (Especially the Corvette C7, Hummer HX, & 5 Lamborghini Cars) end up being added to the Switch Game as DLC, along with more new cars & manufacturers (say like Ford, Dodge, etc.), new tracks, & new modes like battle races (using power ups similar to Dirty Drivin'). And another thing, it'd be nice for the Corvette C8 to get an UPGRADED spoiler when the body / chassis is upgraded, just like the Corvette C7. And in addition to all the cars mentioned earlier, Raw Thrills should add all the cars (Saleen S5S Raptor; SSC Ultimate Aero; Unknown Sports Car; etc.), upgrades (especially for Lamborghinis), & tracks from Cruis'n Blast's betas: Cruis'n Redline & Cruis'n Adventures. (once again, if Cruis'n Blast for Switch does well).
16:04 I don't think those are the only ones that have takedowns. One arcade racer I played at home is called Burnout, which has takedowns, and the takedowns in Cruis'n Blast are very Burnout styled, because in Burnout, if you rammed a vehicle, it showed a slow motion sequence of the takedown and awarded players points for that (3 and Revenge even had trophy targets dedicated to this)
No, they aren't the only ones, but just some that came to mind :) I haven't played Burnout, so interesting to know that the takedown system is similar between that and CB
@@arcadeheroes_coinop huh, okay. I thought this came from that game, considering it was the first racing I thought of, especially since a lot of reviews said the takedowns are very Burnout styled (it's not a arcade game, but plays similarly like one)
That is so awesome I'm going to be getting my copy of Cruis'n blast on Friday from GameStop and I'm going to have so much fun good job with the review arcade Heroes no need for me to go to the arcades anymore
@@arcadeheroes_coinop so true and I played the arcade version of Cruis'n blast it was really awesome Glad and happy it came out to the Nintendo switch shame they remove the Lamborghinis though love those cars
I think this game is a visual blast on first sight, it's "WOW", but it may get a bit repetitive and there is no real challenge, because the driving gameplay, even though it's pure arcade, is extremely limited and assisted (there are invisible walls everywhere and you can never miss any turn or fall off in a ravine)
In my opinion. Arcade wins . we never get the full experience without a steering wheel. In addition, I prefer the lamination effects on the arcade graphics.
I'm not sure if it's a Switch hardware limitation, or something Nintendo can update later. We just got Bluetooth headset support in a recent update. Maybe we might see wheel support someday.
I’ve seen people get the Logitech and other wheels to work with the switch via the Mayflash Magic-NS controller adapter which offers both Bluetooth and usb connection. I have one coming in this weekend and will report back if it works with the G920.
I ordered the hori pro wheel Which will be arriving tomorrow just for this game I hope it works well but at least I got it at Best Buy and they are good on returns
@@BakkerSamuel it’s amazing with I played all day yesterday with it there is 2 buttons on the actual wheel on the left and right hold the right one wile turning to do your drifting and the right button to use your boosts. The left button will also do the wheelies to initiate tricks after you out of boosts It is usually done by double tap in the gas pedal
@@infernonine thanks for letting me l know! Happy to hear you like it. Does it really add to the driving experience in this game? Compared to playing with a controller? I might give it a try :)
It went out of stock there i really hope it sells more than 500,000 copies. I went to my local Wal-Mart yesterday even the employee that went to get the game so i could bought asked me "is this a new game or a remaster of the old ones?" and i answered " is the newest one that released on arcade is a sequel to the ones on the 64". He said "i got to check it out then". Like i said i really hope this game sells because it went out of stock quick Walmart Online and Amazon. Now on Target too wow. I hope it gets more than 500,000 so we get DLC
Metacritic has no reviews for this game yet. -I already bought it though! But really, where's the marketing? This is way more fun then most other titles out but the promotion is zero.
I think it's because Raw Thrills is quite limited on their marketing budget - that and they're used to arcade marketing, which is basically just word of mouth and distributors doing most of that. Unfortunate that Nintendo is focusing on Sonic Colors, but understandable
@@SoukaDeezNutz thanks, but my dad doesnt have the money to buy a switch, here in the philippines its around P25,000, but thanks to the pandemic, he only earns P6,000, thats why its a low chance ill be able to get one, might even need a job just to afford for one...
I've been trying to find a physical version for months and can't find it and I don't want to download it. The arcade version is way better but the switch version is pay once get unlimited plays
Digital Foundry released their review video today. It's a positive review so hopefuly it will help with sales. And maybe bringing new players to the Arcades. Who knows. 😉
@OFFLINE BOTS Oh well. I got it from Raw Thrills, not Nintendo, so I'm not going to risk my relationship with them over it ;) I'm also pretty sure that no one else has the level of detail between this and the AC version as this video will have, so it's all right.
I like the switch port, it’s a budget arcade port that fun with added content. However I’m kinda disappointed in the graphical downgrade from somewhat realistic lighting to the overuse of the bright, neon colors (maybe as a way to get people to buy the OLED Switch) and the flat/low resolution look of some of the track detail in the switch port. Missing a lot of graphical details, checkpoints and voice clips makes it dull a bit. No online multiplayer or leaderboards is a huge missed opportunity. Yea they might “patch” it in but if they really wanted to have those modes in it would’ve came packed in from the get go. I believe this was a budget game that Raw Thrills was able to rush out with little resources (I believe I read somewhere that the got the game running on switch within weeks) I think with more time and money it could’ve came out better
Preordered it on switch, thanks for the review. Honestly this game sound awful on my 5.1 HT And I also think the arcade looks better, and I’d love some force feedback wheel support The gameplay is way to easy on normal, I had fun with it because I had someone else to play with. Hopefully it becomes more engaging on hard It’s a party game, and not impressive technically. But it’s pretty much the only new release for arcade racers fans, so it’s a must buy for people like us
Sad that Lamborghini is cut from this game yet other games like the upcoming Forza Horizon 5 will have it. I hate to say this but I'll have to pass on this game, but I still enjoyed the review. I will instead get Forza Horizon 5 on Xbox instead.
@all-stargamer3333 May I ask why you're always putting me down for an opinion? What kind of cruis'n fan would do this? And there are games I like that don't have Lamborghini. This game had it before but got cut. Especially the Aventador.

@@ActionJaxonH Nah, it's censorship. They've had this same history with other cruis'n games. Removing things that may be culturally inappropriate and road-kill. What Nintendo allows in the arcade, they don't allow on their console. Otherwise, I doubt USA/World/Exotica/Blast would have the same censorship details.

Now we need more 3D arcade game ports for home consoles. Preferably with minor beneficial tweaks for the home console experience like in Cruis’n Blast
