"Color me puzzled. Why would anyone, and I mean anyone, want to port a horrid, mostly unseen coin-op rail shooter from 2004 to the Wii?

Maybe Konami thinks the kitsch factor will outweigh what will soon officially be the worst graphics on the Wii console. That's right this makes Cruisi'n look like a Playstation 2 game. I'd blame the horrid graphics on the Wii, but I've seen the arcade game and they were just as bad on the 2004 coin-op, maybe worse"

"Oh, and indeed, dear. The screenshot above is one of three distributed today of Cruis’n, the Midway San Diego-developed racer currently in development for Nintendo’s Wii. If the name rings a bell, it’s likely you’re thinking of one of the three Cruis’n titles that hit the N64 - Cruis'n USA (1996), Cruis'n World (1998), or Cruis'n Exotica (2000)."

"Our 2007 E3 lineup truly reflects our product strategy to develop top quality titles in a wide range of genres across all major platforms," said David F. Zucker, president and CEO, Midway. "With exciting next generation games such as Stranglehold and proven brands like Mortal Kombat, along with games for the younger market and handhelds, this is Midway's most diverse and strongest line up yet"
