There seems to be a new Cruis’n arcade game in the wild, as arcade enthusiast hub Arcade Heroes reports that arcade game maker Raw Thrills has licensed the property from Nintendo to create Cruis’n Adventure.
He spoke at length about his thoughts on arcade game design and the work of Raw Thrills in this 2007 conversation with Gamasutra.
The latter was actually heavily based on the Raw Thrills arcade game The Fast and the Furious, which was also designed by Jarvis.
What’s interesting here is that there hasn’t been a new Cruis’n arcade game in nearly twenty years, despite the fact that Cruis’n USA, Cruis’n World and Cruis’n Exotica were common American arcade fixtures in the late ’90s.
