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:
“Ultimately, it is the receiving of the child and hearing what he or she has to say that develops the child’s mind and personhood.... Parents who enter into a dialogue with their children, who draw out and respect their opinions, are more likely to have children whose intellectual and ethical development proceeds rapidly and surely.”
—Mary Field Belenky (20th century)
“The young women, what can they not learn, what can they not achieve, with Columbia University annex thrown open to them? In this great outlook for women’s broader intellectual development I see the great sunburst of the future.”
—M. E. W. Sherwood (1826–1903)
“Theories of child development and guidelines for parents are not cast in stone. They are constantly changing and adapting to new information and new pressures. There is no “right” way, just as there are no magic incantations that will always painlessly resolve a child’s problems.”
—Lawrence Kutner (20th century)
