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.

During the last couple of months of development, people sent letters or emails about the censorship.
