As a brazilian from Rio, I'm astonished how they managed to make a track that's so faithful to some parts of the city. You can see the Maracanã Stadium, the Sambodrome, Christ the Redeemer, the Lapa Arches and even the modern Cidade Nova subway station that's not much known outside the city. Of course the layout differs from the actual city but everything is there, and for an arcade game that isn't supposed or even expected to do this much, it is even more amazing.
It's refreshing that there are still some devs out there that value gameplay over graphics. Yes it's not cutting edge graphics but it's FUN as hell!
Why can a person not value both things equally? Is that a crime?
@@paxhumana2015 Nobody said it's a crime but also value gameplay over graphics isn't a crime neither.
Could be better optimised though
This is what can be done when a game is specifically designed for switch. Amazing graphics and perfect 60fps.
Smash IV comes to mind.
It's an arcade port though
@@Eichro exactly not Designed for switch just optimized for it!
@@darnelldarbouze2692 1080p at 60fps on both arcade and Switch versions.
Me and my friends have been playing this for the last couple weeks and it is so much pure, unadulterated, silly fun! I miss these types of games that just wants to put a smile on your face and I hope it finds success so that we get more and similar games released.
This game looks insane on the OLED due to its color pallet.
great now I'm sold on the game and you got my itch for the OLED acting up again 😂
@@RyanDunchProductions No itch for the OLED here as I play my Switch docked. lol
Oled looks beautiful
This feels most like ExciteTruck to me, that game never gets enough love. It also was one of the few Wii games to support MP3 playback from an SD card! \m/
One of my all time favorite racing games. I loaded the soundtrack from Rock n Roll Racing onto my SD Card and used that for the music.
I agree with everything OP says, loading my own soundtrack to Excite Truck made it so much more... ahem, exciting. Baffled the feature didn't return for Excite Bots, or any other game on the Wii for that matter.
I LOVED Excite Truck!!
For real, ExciteTruck was so damn good.
Just watched gameplay of exitce trucks looks pretty fun
I preordered this as soon as I heard about a new Eugene Jarvis Cruis’n game. I think anyone who didn’t play the franchise on N64 will be quick to overlook it because of the graphics, but this is pure 100% N64 nostalgia.
I’m in! Great review !
Looks like a game I would want to buy. Hopefully it is available in Australia so I do not have to import it.
P
With a little supervision I could see Raw Thrills partner with Nintendo for a new F-Zero.
You're not going to get Forza Horizon visuals on a Switch, this is its own thing. I love how it looks.
There's plenty of room for this and racing games on other consoles.
It's not the graphics, it's the aesthetic. It is Eugene Jarvis after all.
Preach!
Please no. The reason why GX/AX is awesome is because the gameplay mechanics borrowed from SEGA racers of old (made sense since it was produced by Toshihiro Nagoshi, the director of Daytona USA and SCUD Race). I don't want watered down Raw Thrills trash as an F-Zero game, I want exciting mechanics of SEGA old racers instead.
@unvillage Then there's no need for one. Release it without half-assing it or don't release it at all.
They need to bring back extreem g racing
@@runnnsf Acclaim is dead.
It's like a combination of Cruis'n, Rush 2049, and Burnout. What a Great mix.
Bit of Crazy Taxi as well.
It looks exactly like a mix of those games. I am looking forward to picking this up.
Love Rush 2049, those jumps and corkscrew roads are crazy.
asphalt 8 too
a little bit of Speed Buster too (it has old american style cars in it, plus sometimes obstacles can pop up (walking T-rex/dinosaur that crosses the road, rock/boulder that comes down the hill, etc.). The alternate routes remind me of the game Split/Second :)
Love your voice, man. It's a blessing. You put me at ease when I feel anxious.
My wife and me played it this weekend and it's fun. You can't expect a skyrim or witcher type depth to it, but it's fun for what it is.
Now if only we could get a San Francisco Rush revival.
oh thanks, i thought this was going to be just like skyrim
@@Flameb0 Its not a good as Skyrim but way better than the witcher
@@Flameb0 lmao 🤣
Ah yes, Skyrim depth is what I look for when picking up a racing game
@@kr1me2000 this game has much more personality
My son plays this one machine anytime we go to Dave & Busters. I was sooo happy to get it for him on Switch. We love it too!
I was so excited to see your reaction to this one. Metal Jesus being excited about arcade racers is the wholesome content we deserve!
Easily the best racer I’ve played this year fantastic game
I've had this since day one and me and my mate's had so much fun playing this.
Now I've been finishing the tour's on my OLED and it looks amazing.
Picked this up on your recommendation, since I also enjoy a good arcade racer! Loving it! Great stuff!
Nice to see you review a individual game. Stunning review !
It doesn't get any better than a mid week Metal Jesus video!! Means everything's going to be good for the rest of the week.
This is all I've been playing the last couple days. Its so easy to pick up and jump right in.
this game is so much fun on the cabinet and with a wheel set up.
now having gotten my own Switch I will grab this eventually just to get back to it.
Awesome review Jason! I look forward to picking this one up at some point.
Great Spot On Review....keep um coming MJR!!!!!
Just got this in the mail today. So excited to try it!
Awesome review 👍 first channel I thought of to watch a review on this game when I herd of it
The Rio de Janeiro Track looks awesome! a lot of details and a huge map
Love to see arcade racing making a comeback!
Dude this game looks 🔥, I remember playing cruisn USA and exotica at the local arcade and than getting the ports on the 64 along with off road challenge. I may have to get a switch again.
This one reminds me of the 90s classic SPEED BUSTERS. I played that one to death back in the day.
I absolutely LOVE arcade racing games.
I don't need cutting edge graphics for this sort of game. This is the way I like my racers. Unapologetic, old-school fun, not shy about its roots. Love me some burnout 3 style racing.
Cruis'n USA was my favorite racing game to play as a kid at the arcades. So much fun, I definitely gotta pick this up
Cruis'n Blast is a hell of a lot of fun as well! There's two Blast arcade machines right by where I work
Looks awesome! I needed to hear that before pulling the trigger.
I will be getting this. Reminds me of back in the day playing through Crusin USA blasting Godsmack. Off Road Challenge is another fantastic racing game for the 64.
I can't wait to go out and pick it up I used to go to the arcades just to play this game it was so much fun.
Great video, I especially appreciate your racing game reviews because I also love arcade racers. I would love to see you review the new hot wheels game if you have the time!
This is such a rad arcade game! Having been waiting for this port for ages!
Made by Eugene Jarvis's team (Robotron, Defender, Smash TV, etc.). Arcade legend!
The game is an absolute blast to play. A must own for arcade racing fans!
Thanks man, this one wasn't on my radar and looks like a TON-O-FUN!
when will there be another pick up video with reg? Love your vids, appreciate the time and effort put into them!!!!
Oh man! I used to love playing these games in the arcade
I seen this game today and was reluctant on getting it. Now I will. It looks like fun! Thanks for posting this. Been looking into a lot of your suggestions not only on games but music as well. Thanks for introducing me to porcupine tree 😁
I was overjoyed when they announced this game for Switch. We have it in the arcade I work at and it's one of the only things we have I enjoy playing there. It is big fun and will be great to be able to carry it with me.
Thank you for doing this! I was one of those people dying to hear your thoughts. So thank you.
Great review/overview dude!
Thank you for making this video it does look fun!
Great game! Rather than a sequel, I would love a remaster of Cruis'n USA and Cruis'n World.
I’ve gotta get this at some point enjoyed crus’n USA and exotica on n64 love the crazy vehicle options and beautiful tracks to race on
If you love dreamcast like I do, you will love this! Feels like a typical colorful dreamcast arcade racing game
I love the Dreamcast, but this game has no excuse to look like the graphics cameout from the wii era
Yeah Dreamcast and N64 was the era for this also PlayStation and Saturn
@@heisenbergwhite00 this look better then a Wii game. This had a Wii game look way worse.
@@SkitBitProduction i dissagree, if you seen the Need for speed games on the wii you'll see that this Game looks no better than those.
@@SkitBitProduction if you look at need for speed carbon/ the run/nitro they're not much different aside from the very bright neon colors of cruis'n blast.
Hey! Thanks for this MJR, I know you love Hydro Thunder and it's cool to see more arcade influence!
Utterly love this game. I would love to be able to go in a slow touring vehicle to be able to see the amazing backgrounds including the dinosaur sections
It reminds me a little of Excite Truck and Excite Bots. Those games are so underrated.
Great review reminded me of crusin USA on Nintendo 64 thank you ❤❤❤❤
Picked it up at my Best Buy a few weeks back it was amazing to revisit the series my local theatre has the arcade version
How do you unlock the unicorn? I need to know!
I actually saw this in an arcade, enclosure, steering wheel and all. Much more fun.
Reminds me of the kookiness I loved in the San Francisco Rush games
Good review, i was playing it on my brothers switch two days ago (didn't know about the game), thought it was fun, the UFO was pretty cool.
Hey Metal Jesus! Your face on the thumbnail says it all!
Ok, you convinced me to buy this game! Can’t wait to have it delivered
Thanks for the review, this looks like a lot of fun. Question, though: That camera looks low to where the ride is obstructing a lot of view. Can it be raised or drawn back a bit??
Yes
Does it have split screen in dock mode?
Awesome review dude! I am so happy I picked this game up!
How well does it play with no analogue triggers?
Killer review! Took me back in time!
Can't wait to try this out!
Simply pure nostalgia, a new arcade game is always welcome!
As someone who spent many allowances' worth of quarters on Cruis'n USA in the arcades, I've been really curious about this game and thought about buying it. Thanks for selling me!
I was waiting for this review! Haha, very very nice! So much fun in this game.
SOLD! Thanks for the great review!
Those hidden elements (keys) look interesting!
I used to play so much crus'n USA back in the days!
I was actually on the fence about getting this game. I'm definitely trying it out now.
Good video also i been wanting to buy a n64 wii and Nintendo switch so i been cheking ur vídeos for any sugestions And i like the vídeos
Love, love, love this game! I found this game at the Showbiz Cinema arcade section and after playing several family members at the arcade, I knew I had to have this at home on the Switch. At the arcade they have two linked car consoles next to each other so you can race each other. Once the family saw it at home, we played for hours unlocking keys, cars and tracks. The challenge is worth it and I hope also, they keep this franchise alive in the future with more Cruis’n games and updates. I loved all the N64 Cruis’n games with Cruis’n the World my all time favorite. Get it, it is just like the name, a blast!!!
Hey Metal Jesus, idk if you’ve answered this in a video already, but what shooter game would you recommend as in intro to the genre? Especially if it’s easily accessible to modern gamers. I own PC and ps4
Great game! Happy to see Cruisin return to home console
I LOVE this game! Exactly what I wanted in an arcade racer.
What racing games would you recommend for the switch?
There was an Easter egg scene of the two dinosaurs fighting against each other from the Jurassic park arcade game.
Was wondering if you checked out the new hot wheels game and if so how do they compare to each other?
We need more MJR reviews!
I literally bought this yesterday and I can't wait to start playing it on my oled switch
Oooh, that’s gonna be some eye candy.
If i remember correctly the Dave and Busters in Auburn,Wa has this game.
I normally don’t like racing games but I love this one. The arcade feel is just so over the top.
I also set my switch up to play on my arcade1up and it’s amazing.
I'm doing the same thing. I have a seated OutRun from Arcade1up/Tastemakers and I decided to reskin it into Cruis'n Blast, I'm getting custom graphics for it and I have an actual arcade topper I got on ebay, those are hard to find by themselves. I'm going to replace the stock wheel with a Switch one. And I have led light strips I can place on the fronts of the side panels. Sure the arcade game has better visuals and more details but the Switch has about 25 bonus tracks beyond the five arcade tracks.
Fun game,my 5 and 6 year old grandsons love it. I have noticed on two player mode you can put the controller down and still finish in the top three places though. Still love the constant action.
Can't find this game anywhere in Toronto. Ended up buying digital.
I actually got to play that game in its arcade form at a local Dave & Buster's a few months ago...I got 2nd place for my first go at the game...not bad.
I picked up Dread and this last Friday. I have not even put Dread in my switch yet haha, Crusin blast is so much fun, I’m addicted!
We need more games like this..
Does anyone know of other games like this one?
I like the graphics style reminds me of the original arcade version i used to play at a taqueria when i was younger
I just got the game today and you were right Metal Jesus this game is Awesome😎🤘
Another arcade racer that came out not long ago is Hotshot Racing. It's a love letter to Virtua Racing and its great, but this game takes it to the next level.
I actively play Hotshot Racing. My friend and I LOVE the early 90's polygonal graphics aesthetic. Such a fun game!
Great review man! Are you gonna review Metroid next?
Great review Metal Jesus and after watching your review i've decided to pick up a copy of the game but I was wondering what happened to the trophy girls they had in the other games from the N64. It just seems like a different racing game then the original series but still looks like a lot of fun😎🤘
Love the speed in racing games
I remember playing this game all the time at the arcade
Come on. We're Cruis'n. Let's go cruis'n. Let's go cruis'n!
you have to go to a special, old arcade to even find classic arcade cabinets and games nowadays. Most arcades now are filled with slots, educational-type kids games, and non-licensed content
I run one of those old traditional arcades with ACTUAL arcade games in Utah!
My wife grew up on the n64 games. She's thrilled to find out about this game!
