I was surprised with how much fun this game was! Enjoy.
I haven't seen an f&f movie in so long that you totally got me! Good one 👌
I’m pretty new here but I’m curious is this a Nintendo only channel? I got nothing against that but I was under the impression that this was a retro gaming tube channel.
Also, I’m trying my best to look past the fact that he repeats words over and over again, seems like he’s really trying to pad his videos to make the 10 minute mark. Again I could be wrong
You guy's are really lucky there's no online mode. If there was I'd take every one of you to school😎
Dave and Busters is where you can find an arcade today
I was waiting for your singing!!!
"It's a racing game. With dinosaurs. Of course it's gonna be good."

Wise Words.
I was there for the 90's arcade scene and played tons of Cruis'n USA and Cruis'n World and played their ports on the N64... this is gonna nostalgia trip for me a bit... gonna play some Cruis'n Blast and crank some 90's music playlist and drink tons of Barq's root beer
Can I come too??? 😂😂😂
Amen I thought I was the only one that like Barqs and Cruisn
Barqs has bite!
There was also San Francisco Rush and San Francisco 2049. Really great arcade racers
@@danielorourke6922 Yep I remember those as well... those games could use a huge remake
Cruis'n on the N64 was my childhood
Me to man
me too i still own my n64 and my cruis'n games
This and San Fransisco Rush were my go to games as a child.
@@erk8520 dude, yes! I would love to see that series make a comeback too!
My guy 🤙🏻 Cruis’n Exotica was mine
Not gonna lie, I cracked up when he started to describe the Fast and the Furious. RGT is a comedy gold channel.
It doesn’t matter if you win by a inch or a mile winning is winning.
For real, hits even better when you don't know FatF like that and then he hits you with the jk, loool
Wasn't that funny dude
I’m ashamed to say this but I’ve never seen fast & furious so he seriously had me going 😂😂
Comedy gold? Lol
I can tell your sense of humor is that of a 9 year old.
My favorite part of Cruis’n Blast is the emphasis on “FAMILY” 💪😉
This game is about family! Love it.
😎 FAMILY
Lol
Now if only the Rush series would come back
I played this at a Dave & Busters, it was pretty fun. Ill totally check this out for switch.
The Nintendo steering whee feels and responds exactly like the arcade
@@carlbramblett1985 they have a steering well? What hahaha I legit just played this game at Dave and busters back on Sunday so everything is still fresh, just bought it and my kids love it hahaha
@@emanuelrivera8048 yeah it’s $99 and works with Mario kart.. and obviously responds with cruis’n like I’m right at Dave and busters
Hopefully if this sells really well they might possibly put the other 3 on a collection. That would be sweet.
I waited an hour at my local Walmart for the employees to find a copy of this, came home empty handed. Had a nice conversation with the manager about the series though! Hoping to get my hands on the physical edition of this, eventually. (ended up ordering one online)
Walmart didn't order any copies? Or have they started scalping them?
@@SoukaDeezNutz They couldn't find them even though they were in stock, they said that products have been getting lost due to a lack of organization and employees lol
There are still preorders up at GameStop
Amazon has some up for preorder right now!
I got mine about a half hour away from my local WM (where I work). It’s the only one in my area that got copies (I saw 2…was only 33.88). Put in ur zipcode on their website you might have to go on a mini trip.
Lol You had me when you were giving the “story” for this game 😂
Most fun thing that i noticed is that the game makes you feel you're in danger all the time but if you try to brake and stand still the chaos will stop too and start again when you pass. 🤣
I ordered the hori pro wheel and it arrived today. It works really well with the game. It uses the right button on that actual wheel for drift and that left wheel button for burst. I played over and hour and it flew by like 10 min. Watched the Apple event and I’m going right back into it now.
It's a cool game. My kid was literally shrieking with delight at the mayhem onscreen.
Damn it, I'm in the office and started laughing when you described the plot of The Fast and The Furious.
This is one of the best reviews on a Switch game I've seen. I hate reviews that go on and on, but this one was succinct and to the point. Nice footage too.
It's weird this doesn't have online leaderboards when GARFIELD had it. lol
Maybe they’ll patch it in?
Hey wait a tick; theres a Garfield game?
@@kylerobinson6102 yeah it’s a kart racer
Because Garfield is a superior racing game.
@@qphlat27 you didn’t just say that…….
……..
……..tell me…..you did not just say that!
The switch has so many bangers for a portable. I desperately wanted the ps vita to have this many great titles……..but……..thank you Nintendo….. as a portable gaming fan I have to show some respect to you. 👍🏿
True
I still love my vita, it was around for a lot of developments in my life, but the switch library is truly something deserving all the hype... I was a super late switch adopter (bought one in 2020) but I got a v.2, and it's an absolute portable powerhouse, my battery has never died on me before I could charge it, and I play primarily in handheld mode... it's what I had hoped the ps vita would be (after playing that incredible uncharted title) but alas, Nintendo for the win...
Facts
I own both but please don’t sleep on the Vita!!!
@@MadnessMan13 I do too.
Vita is over man.
Time to move on.
I'm really happy you're covering this game! Got my physical edition and it's such a "blast"! Bruh I grew up playing Cruis'N USA and World on N64, so this was goi6to be an instant buy for me on day one. It's just dumb fun, I hope they patch in Online play as that would be incredible!
I love how the more the difficulty is harder, the chaos of the tracks increases
Bought 2 copies 😁 1 digital to play, 1 physical to keep sealed. Love old N64/Arcade racer games!
Yeah. If this sells well, the game's director said we might get an arcade trilogy collection of the previous 3 titles 👍. Love the Cruis'n series & Midway games, in general.
@@TexasHollowEarth and possibly DLC for Blast. Hopefully that includes an online mode.
The funny thing is its not actually that old, 2016.
@@ytyndale3643 I'm talking about the series as a whole. This series started in the mid to late 90's.
@@SoukaDeezNutz I could see them throwing some new tracks and cars at us. It's gotta sell well though. Here's to hoping enough people support the game.

I think my wife is sick of hearing that theme song cus I was all over every trailer when this was originally announced, haha. but I just ordered my copy I can't wait to tear it up with all the crazy cars and tracks, and going back to get all the unlocks and play around with the customization stuff. been too long since I've played a great arcade racer on switch, so was definitely looking to pick this one up!
I picked this game up tonight after work and played for 3 hours. I wanted to keep playing but 5 am comes early ... LOL!! Great job Nintendo and if you love arcade racing this is a must own!!
I’m sold.
I love arcade racers.
There aren’t many anymore.
In fact, the only other I can think of is Horizon Chase Turbo.
hotshot racing is great as well!
Will never forget stress free times as kid playing Cruisin at arcade booth outside our favorite chicken place. 🎮 🏁 🏎
This is what the Switch OLED is for. Games with big, bright colors.
Definitely going to get this game. Having a lot of fun with 80’s Overdrive too!
I got that last night after preordering crusin. Ended up paying 1.04 for it using my coins from the preorder. . I like it.
@@infernonine it’s really fun!
Get Horizon Chase Turbo , it’s the best one of the three .
I like the video and I’m actually getting it after work today, I’m a fan of that series from N64
Same here!
This game kind of reminds me of Excite Truck and Excite Bots. Those were great games.
Thank you for the great review. I was skeptical on this game but now I want to purchase this. It's going to be an expensive 2 half of the year
Best Buy gave a $10 e-giftcard for pre-ordering 👍. What a bargain on an already budget Switch game!
@@TexasHollowEarth I always seem to forget about Best Buy when it comes to games. I need to quit doing that. I'm going to pass until the new year as I've already pre-ordered enough games this year. I just bought 6 games within the last week, 4 from LRG and 2 from Walmart.
I like the look of this game. A chaotic good time, just the kind of games I like on the switch.
I just bought it, I love it. Mario Kart fans will love how familiar the controls are, and the fantasy elements of the stages. Also, developers of the original Cruis'n games like Eugene Jarvis worked on the game. Unlocking the bizarre racers like the triceratops are also rewarding.
For me the fact that it's challenging is definitely a plus and so much nostalgia!!! I'm getting it today!
I think I know what RGT’s favorite movie is, literally read the entire synopsis for The Fast and The Furious. Sad part is I realized it when he said “Dominic” 🤣
Got it yesterday (physical). Loving it. Took me back to those days where you got a new game and couldn’t put it down. MUST BUY!
Thank Goodness It’s Available Physically 😩
Thanks for the review! So glad this game seems to be as much fun as it looks! I've been looking for this type of arcade racer for a long time now! I'm looking forward to picking this up!
I've played the arcade version at Dave n' Buster's, of course I'm getting this game on Switch.
My son and I raced against each other in the arcade at Virginia Beach in July and had a great time . We came home and I looked it up to see if it was on any home consoles and saw that it was coming to the Switch in September so I preordered it . The tracking said that it would be here today on launch day . It is 7:30 PM . Still hasn't been delivered .
This does look like a fun arcade racer. Rush 2049 was my jam in the arcade Crusin the world was great too
Love for DreamcastGuy showed up for a moment! The YT Gaming Cinematic Universe is starting to come together!
Lol you almost got me with the Fast and the Furious synopsis
"So, the story is..."
Me: Oh no...
"Joking, there is no story."
Me: Oh thank god.
This game is a amazing arcade racer. Amazing to look at, thrilling, cool music, straight to the point and cool unlockables with great levels. If you are a fun of crazy arcade racers with a option for local multiplayer, get this!
Ironically when you sang "Let's Go Cruis'n" but apologized even though it was one of the few times your singing actually sounded pretty good!
I mean, to the defense of the "plot" you gave off, raw thrills, the developer did make all those fast and the furious games that have cropped up in the place of the classics
What's the retail on one of those?
We need a crusi'n collection for the switch arcade perfect
Crusin blast is straight up adrenaline-filled craziness in a cart. This kind of, over the top, surreal was just what I was looking for. And Triceratops is my current favorite “vehicle” so far. Though it does have that car model from Crazy Taxi in it, which I will have to try.
I love how Nintendo keeps it fresh with awesome art design and fun gameplay!
I'm waiting for physical copies to be available in Argentina. Honestly can't wait.
Cruis'n World for N64 was a special part of my childhood.
This looks like alot of fun. I feel like arcade racers are slowly making a comeback.
top game, bit of speed devils, burnout and looks like something the Dreamcast would pump out, miss these pure arcade games
You can race as a Triceratops?! 10/10! Take my money!
I loved Cruis'n back in the day. Also this one reminds me of Excite Truck, man that was a fun game.
If someone has this and the HORI Nintendo switch racing wheel pls tell me how it feels with this game, I was considering getting one for this game
Ff
It feels great. The pedal might need to be modded if you want to attach them to a racing cockpit. The game has auto acceleration so you might not need to use the pedal. The wheel controls, and pedal inputs can be reassigned with different buttond as well.
@@SoukaDeezNutz guess who got the racing wheel???? And it works GREAT!!!
The game looks way better than it does on this video. So don’t let that discourage you. It’s crystal clear and smooth.
I was fortunate enough to play this at an arcade in Reno with my wife, we didn't want to get out of the seats!! When I saw this was ported over to the Switch I about lost my mind. Best Arcade Racer on Console Period! So glad to see that you reviewed this. I love that you went and bought the physical copy to support them!! I agree that the online multiplayer was a missed opportunity here.
I did not expect to have as much fun as I did playing this game. Glad I picked this up randomly.
This looks like a total banger, the place where I work has the arcade machine and it was pretty darn fun. Gonna get this when I can, most likely
good to hear you singing man. thanks for the videos!
Loved the games back in the 64 days and bought this game as soon as I got out of work today… glad to have a physical copy and would start playing ASAP if I wasn’t about to crash out bc of work.
Now all we need is cruzin usa, world and exotica remasters.
Yeah. I know the description of The Fast and Furious story was a gag. But as absurd as the current Fast and The Furious movies, might as well shove it into the Cruis'n story line.
I played this game at an arcade in Atlantic City, back in 2018. Now I can’t stop playing this video game on my Nintendo Switch!
I have a feeling this is gonna be one of those underrated gems
I found and played on a Cruisin Blast arcade machine at a Flying-J truck stop in Altoona,IA I was surprised to see a arcade racing cabinet that said Nintendo on it. This was back in 2018 or 2019 and it was a fun game and I plan on picking up a physical copy for the Switch.
Cruis'n USA, Cruis'n World, California Speed, San Francisco Rush, and Rush 2 were some of my all time favorite games. Those games felt perfect, so I'm glad to here this game is good, will definitely have to pick it up.
Definitely love this game brings back my 90’s arcade racing nostalgia. Definitely a game of the year contender for me
loved playing cruisn usa while traveling the country for soccer tournaments as a teenager
And I thought driving the Grey Bus was crazy in Cruis'n USA, but this takes the cake!
Best on couch racing game out on the switch right now hahaha. Bought it Jan 2023 on $20 sale. Perfect nostalgia brought to the now that you'd want to play over and over till you win it all while competing against friends.
New show: “Kickass or Suckass with RGT85!!”
I’d watch that!!
I played this joint at Dave & Buster's back in 2017. I was practically begging for this game to get on the Nintendo Switch. It's definitely fun to play.
Coincidentally, I just acquired a copy of cruis'n USA for 64. Glad it sounds like the series has made a fresh splash.
I was like wait Dominic, isn’t that fast and furious haha. Great video!
Mine comes tomorrow, can not wait, great vid man.
So far i'm loving this game! They did an outstanding job on Cruisn blast! You can even race as a hammerhead shark and unicorn LOL! I used love and play Cruisn USA, Cruisn World and Cruisn Exotic on N64 all the time as a kid! So i couldn't wait for this one!
Yeah i grew up in the arcades, god knows i miss those days. I've always loved sega racing games (namely scud race) and anything from midway. Thanks for the review btw, as i was on the fence about the revival of one of the best arcade series ever
You can ride/drive a Triceratops???!!! I AM SOLD!
I had no idea the Crusin series was still going. I have never played any of them but I knew about the first Arcade game and the N64 port. Then I found out about it through Retro Gamer, and now I want to get it to play on my Switch OLED
I'm pleasantly surprised that the Cruis'n franchise is still alive, this looks awesome!
Going to Walmart right now to pickup a physical copy. Only $33 for physical. $7 cheaper, You actually get something for your money and it doesn't take up any space on the HDD.
I absolutely loved the arcade game and I love this switch version! Pick it up!
Almost a year later and this game is still awesome!! I really hope we get a port of H2Overdrive. THAT would be amazing!!
I brought this game some months ago and I’m still trying to beat it I’ve played this in the arcade definitely was good :)
The best part of this video was the Fast & Furious story read description 😆
25 years and they still have the cars clipping through each other
Picking up my steel book copy today
Yea I got it this week and love it . Might make a driving switch cabinet for this and Mario Kart..
U got me with the Fast and Furious plot description.
Nothing seen here makes any sense. Dinosaurs racing and doing flips and tricks between cars and choppers... And I'm not even going to try and describe the rest. This could easily become my new favourite racing game, taking over from Excite Truck / Bots, NFS Nitro on Wii, and MK:DD, I think. My second Cruis'n game, the first being Cruis'n Velocity on GBA. I also enjoyed Midnight Club 3 a lot, the older Burnout games, and some others, including the f2p Asphalt 9. I'll wait a little longer, but will probably get it eventually.
Got it with the $10 gift card. Feels extra kicky!
Good review RGT. I hope people buy it, so we can get more cruisin games.
Enjoy these great games while you can. Balan is waiting for you. 🤣🤣
I hope that they release Cruise n' Exotica, my favorite game from the franchise.
I really want this game since day one physical but now finally is on great discount. 17 dlls on eshop (Canada), you really sold me with that acapella theme Haha thanks!!
I was smiling the entire time the moment he said Toretto XD. As someone who just watched all 9 movies in last week, I really enjoyed that!
Miss those old days playing at round table pizza
Dave & Busters has the latest cruisin blast arcade for the arcade lovers
I loved Cruisn USA and Cruisn World the most. I LOVED MIDWAY GAMES! RIP
