Midway is set to dust of its Cruis'n franchise, bringing Cruis'n to Wii this coming November - originally an arcade title that also did pretty well on N64 for the US publisher.
The game is set to feature 12 different street circuits, and plenty of upgrades for your car such as pimp-my-ride style turbos, neon displays, body kits, nitrous boosters and other gasheaded gubbins.
Midway has also let slip that it is set to release a collection of mini-games for Wii called simply Game Party, featuring air hockey, darts and more. Unfortunately, this is about the least original idea/title for a game we have heard in 2007.
(Darts is, after all, a noble game played in pubs by dignified gentlemen... it should not be mixed in with air hockey, which is played in down-at-heel seaside piers by weekend fathers and their unremittingly whiny kids.)
We will no doubt find out more about these and other new Midway titles at E3 next month.

Hmm. Dragon's Liar and Cruisin'....Cruising sounded good in the Arcades, until Ridge Racer and Sega Rally came along...and didn't the N64 version score something like 1 or 2 out of 5 in CVG? After all the hype, it wasn't good, I know that.
I wonder what Midway can do to a franchise that surely has a reputation for dissapointment? Having said that, Rush 2046 or whatever the end digit was...was one of the few racing games I've enjoyed, and that was from Midway, so(!). But I think Stranglehold and Unreal are Midway's real aces atm. Although we know about them already.... so here's looking forwards to the rest of their new announcements in the next few weeks...

I find it amazing that Midway are again trying to push this cheesy excuse for a driving game on gamers. They'd have to do a major overhaul of the game, cause driving games have come on leaps and bounds since Crusin and its updates hit the arcade. Twelve street circuits, is that really enough to justify a purchase?
I'm not apologising Midway, for you lot to choose this over Ready to Rumble on Wii is frankly unforgiveable. Show some vision, dammit.
