Cruis’n Blast

Hugely entertaining arcade racing filled with monstrous set-pieces and splitscreen chaos, but no online play.
DeveloperRaw Thrills
PublisherRaw Thrills
Released2021
Nintendo Switch

Cruis'n Blast is an arcade-style racing game developed by Raw Thrills and released on Nintendo Switch in 2021. It brings the Cruis'n series back to consoles with a focus on over-the-top, high-speed thrills. The game offers licensed vehicles, vehicle customization, a selection of wild tracks filled with huge set-pieces, and local splitscreen multiplayer. Online multiplayer is absent, a notable omission for a modern arcade racer, but the driving is fast and the spectacle is constant. The port captures the spirit of the 2017 arcade original, delivering a loud, brash experience that leans hard into its quarter-munching roots.
