ka nūhou kēlā inoa arcade Paʻi Cruis'n ke hele nei ʻo Switch ma ke ʻano he pīhoihoi maikaʻi ma mua o kēia makahiki.
ʻO ka mea hou loa i ka holo lōʻihi o Cruis'n moʻo – i hoʻomaka i ke ola ma nā '90s arcades me ʻO Cruis'n USA ma mua o ka lele ʻana i ka N64 - ua hoʻohiki kēia mea hoʻokūkū kala neon e hāʻawi i kahi ʻike arcade kiʻekiʻe-octane ma ka ʻōnaehana hybrid o Nintendo, a hele mai me ka lokomaikaʻi o Raw Thrills, ke keena i hoʻokumu ʻia e ka moʻolelo ʻoihana ʻo Eugene Jarvis, ka mea hoʻokele (no pun). i manaʻo ʻia) ma ka Cruis'n USA.
ʻAʻole pono ʻo Jarvis i ka hoʻolauna; ʻO kāna mau hōʻaiʻē pāʻani wikiō e loaʻa i kekahi o nā mele arcade maikaʻi loa o nā manawa āpau, e like me Defender, Stargate, Robotron: 2084, Smash TV a NARC. Laki mākou e kamaʻilio me Jarvis e pili ana iā Cruis'n Blast, e hana pū ana me Nintendo a me kāna ʻoihana ʻālohilohi. Nanea.
Nintendo Life: Hiki iā ʻoe ke hāʻawi iā mākou i kahi ʻike liʻiliʻi e pili ana i ka hiki ʻana mai o Cruis'n Blast? He aha kāu i hoʻoholo ai e hana i kahi komo hou i ka moʻo i ka makahiki 2017?
Eugene Jarvis: Loaʻa iaʻu kahi wikiō maʻamau a me ka pinball arcade ma koʻu basement a i kēlā me kēia manawa a mākou i kahi pāʻina, i ka manawa e ʻike ai nā keiki i nā mea hoʻokele Cruis'n kahiko ua like lākou me nā maniac ma luna o lākou no nā hola. He paʻakikī loa ka hoʻi ʻana iā lākou i ka home. A laila aia nā makuahine a me nā makuakāne i ulu pū me Cruis'n a lele pū lākou i ka hana! No laila, inā he leʻaleʻa nā pāʻani 25 makahiki, pehea e hana ai i kahi pāʻani arcade Cruis'n hou? He mea wikiwiki ia e ʻike i ke ʻano o ka mea hoʻokele Cruis'n me 1000x kiʻi maikaʻi a me ka mana helu i kēia lā.
Ua kānalua pono kekahi o ka hui e pili ana i ka pili ʻana o ia poʻo inoa kahiko i kā mākou manawa wikiwiki wikiwiki o ka pāʻani. I ko mākou hoʻokani mua ʻana i ke mele poʻomanaʻo hou, ʻaʻole hiki iā lākou ke hoʻōki i ka ʻakaʻaka a laila hulahula i ke ʻano retro disco vibe. A laila aia ka pilikia o ka mea e kapa ai i ka pāʻani. Cruis'n no kahi Bruis'n? Nui nā moho. Ua makemake au iā Cruis'n 4-Ever 'no ka mea ua like ia me ka hā o ka pāʻani ma ka trilogy. No laila, ua hana mākou i hui huila me nā '4s' i loko o ia mau mea no ka logo, akā ʻaʻole pololei kekahi mea.
Ma hope o nā mahina o nā inoa leo ʻole, ua hele mai mākou me Cruis'n Blast. Makemake au i ka "Blast" he mea pahū - ʻo ia ka pāʻani Cruis'n mua loa i loaʻa kahi hiʻohiʻona turbo-boost, a mākou i kapa ai ʻo "Blast" - a no ka mea makemake mākou e hopu i ka leʻaleʻa leʻaleʻa hoʻokele vibe o Cruis'n (loaʻa iā "Blast"!).
I kēia manawa ke noʻonoʻo nei au, pono mākou e kau i kahi kikoʻī ma ka hopena! Aia mau ka manawa aʻe…
Pehea ka lima lima o Nintendo me kēia hoʻokuʻu? Ua hāʻawi ʻia i nā manaʻo a i ʻole nā ʻōlelo aʻo i ka wā o ka hoʻomohala ʻana, a i ʻole ua hāʻawi ʻia iā ʻoe ke kūʻokoʻa piha?
Ua maikaʻi loa ʻo Nintendo. ʻO lākou nā mea nona ka Cruis'n IP, no laila he hanohano maoli ka loaʻa ʻana o ko lākou hilinaʻi e hoʻomohala i ka pāʻani ma ka Switch. Ma ke ʻano he mea hoʻomohala arcade, ʻike liʻiliʻi loa mākou e pili ana i ka Switch, a ʻo John Vignocchi a me ka hui ʻaoʻao ʻekolu o Nintendo o ʻAmelika i kōkua nui iā mākou i kēlā me kēia pae o ke ala. Ua hāʻawi mai lākou iā mākou i nā manaʻo he nui a me nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo e pili ana i ka lawe ʻana i ka pāʻani arcade core a hoʻokomo iā ia me ka nui o nā pāʻani a me nā ʻike e koi ai ka lehulehu console. A laila ua hoʻohuli lākou iā mākou e hana i ka pāʻani Switch maikaʻi loa.
Ua hoʻopaʻa kaulana ʻo Nintendo iā Cruis'n USA ma ka N64 - aia kekahi pilikia o ka hana hou ʻana i kēlā no ka mana Switch o Cruis'n Blast?
ʻAe, ua loaʻa iā mākou kekahi maʻiʻo "humorous" i ka lā! ʻO kēia manawa a puni ʻo Nintendo i hāʻawi maoli iā mākou i ka lima manuahi.
Ua alo anei ʻoe i kekahi pilikia i ka wā e pili ana i ka hoʻokomo ʻana i kahi pāʻani arcade pipiʻi i loko o kahi ʻōnaehana portable underpowered e like me ka Switch?
Ua hoʻomaka maoli ka papahana ma ke ʻano he "pehea inā" ʻakaʻaka o ka ʻakaʻaka o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e hoʻokomo i kahi ʻāpana arcade kiʻekiʻe i ka Switch. ʻO koʻu manaʻo, ma hea ka Nvidia 32-gigapixel kiʻi kiʻi kāleka a me 5GHz CPU? Akā no ka haʻi ʻana i ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ua kāhāhā nui mākou i ka helu kiʻi a me ka maikaʻi o nā kiʻi, ʻoiai i ka wā i puhi ʻia ma luna o kahi lumi ʻohana nui ʻo LED pālahalaha.
ʻAʻole e ʻōlelo he hele wāwae ia i ka paka. Manaʻo wau he nui ka manawa o kā mākou mea pena kiʻi a me nā coders i ko lākou mau lima i ka wā maʻi maʻi e hoʻololi i ke code a me nā kiʻi a me ka helu kiʻi i ka max. Inā ʻaʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hele i kahi a i ʻole hana i kekahi mea - hiki ke hoihoi nui ka hana. No ka loaʻa ʻana o nā shaders a me nā hopena i ka nani o ke koko, ka hou a me nā waimaka. ʻO kā mākou pāʻani kēia a ʻaʻole hiki iā mākou ke hoʻohewa i kekahi no ke awa ʻino.
He aha ka mea i ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka mana Switch o Cruis'n Blast ma mua o ke kumu arcade? Ua hana paha ʻoe i nā tweak a i ʻole nā hoʻomaikaʻi no kēia paʻi?
Loaʻa i nā ʻike console a me nā arcade ka mea maʻamau, akā no ka mea ua loaʻa i nā mea pāʻani home ka manawa e hoʻonui nui i kahi pāʻani, pono ʻoe i nā megatons o ka ʻike. No laila ua hele mākou mai ʻelima mau alahele a me 12 mau kaʻa i - e kiʻi i kēia - 29 tracks, 23 mau kaʻa, mau kakini o nā pōkole huna a me nā kaʻa huna hou. Loaʻa iā mākou nā "turbo ramps" hou me nā uku kālā a me nā kī 87 e wehe i kēia mau mea maikaʻi. I ka pōkole, he holoʻokoʻa holoʻokoʻa Cruis'n e hele nei!
Ua hōʻano hou ʻia ka mana arcade ma hope o ka hoʻomaka ʻana me nā kaʻa hou; Ke hoʻolālā nei ʻoe e hana i kahi hoʻopunipuni like me ka port Switch ma DLC?
Manaʻo mākou e koi ʻia ka mea pāʻani i laila e hiki ai iā mākou ke hoʻopuka i kahi ʻikepili Cruis'n kūʻokoʻa no ka Switch. Nui nā kaʻa moeʻuhane a me nā ala e makemake ai nā mea pena e hoʻōla.
He aha ka wā e hiki mai ana o ka Cruis'n series ma waho o Blast? Loaʻa iā ʻoe nā hoʻolālā no nā pāʻani hou aʻe?
Ke hoʻolele nei mākou i kekahi mau manaʻo - hoʻokahi mea aʻu i hoʻoluliluli ai, ʻo ia ka remaster i ka arcade Cruis'n trilogy maʻamau no ka Switch, hoʻonui i ka ʻike i ka HD piha a me ka paʻa 60Hz frame rate! A manaʻo wau e hele mai kekahi o nā manaʻo maikaʻi loa mai nā mea pāʻani Cruis'n ma waho. Manaʻo mākou i ka paʻi ʻana i nā kaiapuni āpau ma ka lā hoʻokuʻu - Twitter, Insta, YouTube a me TikTok - e ʻike i nā mea a Cruis'n memes e hele nei!
ʻO kāu ʻoihana i nā pāʻani wikiō e lili ai nā mea he nui; He aha kāu e hana ai i ka hoʻomohala ʻana i nā pāʻani hou? Manaʻo paha ʻoe aia kahi lumi no nā ʻike kula kahiko e like me ka Cruis'n series ma 2021?
He pupule akā ua hoʻomaka wau e hana i nā pāʻani arcade ma Atari i nā makahiki '70 - 44 mau makahiki i hala! Me he mea lā ma kahi o ʻelima a ʻeono mau ola ma ka huakaʻi mai Pong i Mario i Fortnite i ka mea ike. Mai ka 8-bit a i ka gigabits, he huakaʻi.
Nui koʻu makemake i ke kaʻina hana dev i ka wā 8-bit i ka wā e hoʻopaʻa ai au, e hana ana i nā kiʻi pixel a me nā kani ma Defender a me Robotron. ʻElua a ʻekolu mau keiki i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma kahi pāʻani, a ua haʻalele ka hoʻokele iā mākou wale nō no ka mea ʻaʻole lākou i ʻike i kā mākou hana! He kilokilo wale nō. ʻOiai ma Cruis'n USA he ʻelima wale nō kānaka ka hui dev pāʻani! Akā i loko o nā makahiki, ua lilo ia i mea like me kahi hui nui Hollywood me nā hui nui, nā mea pena kukui, nā mea hoʻolalelale, nā ʻano riggers, nā mea kikokikona, nā leo devs, nā haku mele, nā mea pena kaiapuni, nā mea hoʻolālā pae, nā mea hoʻolālā kiʻi, nā alakaʻi kiʻi, alakaʻi ʻenehana, nā polokalamu polokalamu, nā mea hana kūikawā, nā mea hōʻike pāʻani a me nā mea hana ma nā wahi a pau āu e huli ai! A he mea kupaianaha nā pāʻani i kēia lā - 1000x ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o kaʻu i moeʻuhane ai i ka lā.
Akā inā ʻōlelo ʻoe ua make nā hui liʻiliʻi a me nā pāʻani kula kahiko a pono e loaʻa nā mea āpau i kahi kālā $100 miliona - mai kahi e hele mai ai kahi pāʻani nui e like me Flappy Bird or Ana luku aku a hoʻolilo i kekahi me ka waihona kālā ma luna o $10,000 e nānā naʻaupō! A ʻo ka lōʻihi o koʻu noho ʻana i ka pāʻani biz, ʻoi aku ka nui o koʻu ʻike ʻana ʻo ka mea wale nō aʻu i aʻo ai ʻaʻole wau ʻike i ka s**t! Ua hoʻohana paha au i ka hapalua o kaʻu ʻoihana e hoʻāʻo nei e kāpae i nā kiʻi pixelated - a loaʻa hou ka ʻoiaʻiʻo - a laila ʻo ka mea aʻe aʻu i ʻike ai ua hele mai kekahi ʻōpio ma Suedena. Noel, a ʻo nā pika nunui ka mea ʻoluʻolu loa i kēia manawa! Ke hoʻomanaʻo nei au i ka ʻakaʻaka ʻana i kahi mea kiʻi ʻōpio maikaʻi i ka hopena o nā makahiki 80 i makemake e hana i kahi pāʻani e pili ana i ka ulu ʻana i nā mea kanu (pehea ʻoe e puhi ai i kēlā?) - a laila 20 mau makahiki ma hope. ʻO Farmville lawe i ka honua i ka ino!
Manaʻo wau ʻo kekahi o nā mea nui i ka kūleʻa o ka Nintendo Switch ʻo ia ka hopu maoli ʻana i ke ʻano arcade - ke ʻano wikiwiki a hiki ke loaʻa i ka pāʻani e leʻaleʻa maoli no nā mea āpau. No laila, manaʻo wau ua ola a maikaʻi ka ʻuhane arcade kula kahiko - ʻaʻole wale i nā arcade kino o ka honua, akā i loko o kēlā me kēia mea pāʻani Nintendo Switch!
He aha ke ʻano o ka hana hou ʻana me Nintendo, a e hana paha ʻo Raw Thrills i kahi pāʻani kūʻokoʻa i nā consoles, ʻaʻole no nā arcades?
He hauʻoli maoli ka hana hou ʻana me Nintendo. ʻIke loa ua loli nui i nā makahiki 25 a ua ulu nui nā kūlana no ka pāʻani, ʻike, localization a me nā hoʻāʻo. Hoʻomanaʻo wau i ka lā e hana ana ma Cruis'n USA a ʻo ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e like me, "Ua hāʻule ka pāʻani? ʻAʻole? Maikaʻi ʻoe e hele!” I kēia manawa, ʻoi aku ka paʻakikī a me ka maikaʻi o ka pāʻani ma ka hale a ʻoi aku ka koʻikoʻi o nā mea.
E pili ana i ka hana kūʻokoʻa i ka hoʻokuʻu console - ʻo wai ka mea ʻike? Ua hoʻolaʻa mākou i ka hana ʻana i nā pāʻani arcade maikaʻi loa no nā makahiki he 20 i hala ma Raw Thrills, a ʻo mākou kekahi o nā mea hana wikiō wikiō alakaʻi i ka honua! Leʻaleʻa loa mākou i ka hoʻokuke ʻana i ka envelopp ma ka arcade me nā poʻo inoa like ʻO Jurassic Park Arcade, Halo: Hui Pū ʻIa ahi a i ʻole kā mākou poʻo inoa mua loa King Kong o Skull Island VR. A e noʻonoʻo i ka mea - ʻo Cruis'n Blast arcade kekahi o kā mākou mea kūʻai nui a puni ka honua.
ʻO ka ʻāpana o ka pana ʻana i ka envelop ke ʻimi mau nei i nā mea hou, a ʻo Cruis'n Blast for the Switch kahi ala e hoʻolōʻihi ai a ʻike inā hiki iā mākou ke lawe mai i kahi mea kahiko / hou i ka hiʻohiʻona console. Manaʻo wau e hauʻoli nui nā mea pāʻani e pāʻani i ka Cruis'n Blast no ka Switch. Ke wehe nei ʻo Nintendo i kahi honua hou no Raw Thrills. ʻAʻole hiki iaʻu ke kali e ʻike i kahi e hele ai mākou mai ʻaneʻi!
Mahalo mākou iā Eugene no ka lawe ʻana i ka manawa e kamaʻilio me mākou. Hōʻea ʻo Cruis'n Blast ma Nintendo Switch ma ka lā 14 o Kepakemapa.
