Cruuuuuis'n USA! Yeah! Huuuh! ♬
Was my very first N64 game can you believe? Even before Mario 64 lol. Cause it actually came with my system when I got it.
My friend and I were big fans of it from the arcades before then so we actually did play it quite a bit.

Yeah, I played the heck out of Cruis'n USA on N64. I also had Cruis'n World but didn't play it as much for whatever reason.
I got my N64 with Mortal Kombat Trilogy and KI Gold. Like, I chose those games, I could have gotten Mario 64. I was an enormous fighting game fan at the time. I got the N64 primarily for Mortal Kombat Trilogy, but wound up playing KI Gold more. I didn't get Mario 64 for a few months later.
USA on the N64. Thought it was awful though.
A friend of mine traded his copy of Mario 64 for KI Gold with another friend. He told me he regretted that decision lol
Yes crusin works was fun but I always preferred California speed(I might be bias as I live here)
Oh yeah, me and Cruis'n World go back. One of my favorite N64 games.
You've got the speed
You've got the POWAH...
What we need now is a Cruis'n Blast port or better yet, a full series collection!

All I knew of the N64 was...well I remember I almost abandoned it because I didn't know the Blue Button was how to go.
I tried playing Cruis'n USA a few years back and I don't know maybe it's because I don't have as much nostalgia for it but I honestly did not like it at all. There's just waaaaaaay better racing games on the N64 than that.
Fuck yeah I did. This was the pallet cleanser to break up hours upon hours of GoldenEye multiplayer when my friends and I had N64 sleepovers.
Definitely played the arcade version probably just as much
CRUIIIISINNNNN
I can visualize myself double tapping the gas pedestal to boost at the start of the race

I know the N64 games aren't as good as the arcades, and the arcade games aren't as good as other racers, but I loooved Cruis'n USA.
My cousin had USA and I have Exotica, and while Exotica is the better game, I have a waaay softer spot for USA, its tracks, and its house music.

Yes the first two in the Arcades were fun.
I see Rush mentioned many times and that makes me happy. San Francisco Rush in the Arcades was great but, to ACTUALLY have it at home? On N64. With new tracks? HEAVEN!
But all these games mentioned and no one mentions the KING

Blast is low key good. Actually most of those Raw Thrills modern arcade games are good. It's exactly what you'd want from a Cruis'n game.
Played it every time I'd see it at an arcade, then endlessly on N64. Even bought a wheel for it.
I see San Francisco Rush is already mentioned, I was going to bring it up since I got the names confused and thought it actually was Cruisn' USA until I watched gameplay videos. Rush had a lot of fun shortcuts, I think that was the racing game I played the most in that era outside of Mario Kart 64.
Pretty sure I played a race or two of Cruis'n but not much.

Take the first track, put on 9 laps and perma death and you have the best death racer out there. My brother and I have fond memories of nudging cpu racers at the peak of the hill and watching them tumble and explode. Oh and the hidden Alcatraz track was an awesome surprise.
Death races work with the second rush as well but there are fewer hills and the 90 degree corners are rough.
This started playing in my head the second I saw "Cruisin" in the title. I would always do the bumper camera on certain levels because you'd get bugs and goose poop hitting the "windshield" I played this more than Mario 64 I'm pretty sure and it was the first N64 game I owned/played. Only owned an NES before then.
What a time to be a kid.
Even Cruis'n Velocity?
I loved it at the time even though it sucks, because I just couldn't get enough of 3D games on the GBA.
I always hated that view for those reasons, lol. I stuck with the default; it's my preferred camera angle for racing games.

Wow, didn't even know this existed!
I think mostly it was because I just found it absolutely mind-blowing and hilarious (I was 9.) I never went to arcades and I had been renting NES games from a local place and didn't even know the SNES existed. I'd usually do pretty terribly in the race and would switch to default eventually, lol.
