We’ve learned (via Arcade Heroes) that Nintendo is actually putting out a new Cruis’n racing game for arcades.

The new game, dubbed simply Cruis’n Adventure, is an officially licensed entry within the series formerly known to be only on Nintendo or in arcades.

Developed by Raw Thrills and headed by Eugene Jarvis (one of the key staff that worked on Cruis’n USA, World, and Exotica), fans can expect the new racing game to be designed completely from scratch, in an entirely new engine.

“That cabinet is just a test cabinet, for production it’s much cooler. Cruis’n [Adventure] is designed from scratch, completely new engine,” Jarvis said. “Basically what you see there is only a small fraction of what the game will be.”

If you’re a fan of ours that lives near Chicago, the current location test has two cabinets at the Regal City North Stadium 14 Theater.
