Development
Along with Killer Instinct, the arcade original was promoted as running on Ultra 64 hardware, upon which a 64-bit Nintendo console of the same name would be released. However, both games actually ran on different custom hardware platforms. The final version of Nintendo's new console, now renamed the Nintendo 64, was different from and less powerful than the arcade hardware than ran Crus'n USA. As a result, Williams, the developers of the Nintendo 64 version had to downgrade most of the graphics in the home version. Originally announced as a launch title for the Nintendo 64, the game was delayed before the console's release due to the censorship issues. During the last couple of months of development, people sent letters or emails about the censorship.

Famous quotes containing the word development:
“Every new development for the last three centuries has brought men closer to a state of affairs in which absolutely nothing would be recognized in the whole world as possessing a claim to obedience except the authority of the State. The majority of people in Europe obey nothing else.”
—Simone Weil (1909–1943)
“They [women] can use their abilities to support each other, even as they develop more effective and appropriate ways of dealing with power.... Women do not need to diminish other women ... [they] need the power to advance their own development, but they do not “need” the power to limit the development of others.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)
“Such condition of suspended judgment indeed, in its more genial development and under felicitous culture, is but the expectation, the receptivity, of the faithful scholar, determined not to foreclose what is still a question—the “philosophic temper,” in short, for which a survival of query will be still the salt of truth, even in the most absolutely ascertained knowledge.”
—Walter Pater (1839–1894)
