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:
“Fascism, the more it considers and observes the future and the development of humanity, quite apart from political considerations of the moment, believes neither in the possibility nor the utility of perpetual peace.”

“I can see ... only one safe rule for the historian: that he should recognize in the development of human destinies the play of the contingent and the unforeseen.”
—H.A.L. (Herbert Albert Laurens)
“The work of adult life is not easy. As in childhood, each step presents not only new tasks of development but requires a letting go of the techniques that worked before. With each passage some magic must be given up, some cherished illusion of safety and comfortably familiar sense of self must be cast off, to allow for the greater expansion of our distinctiveness.”
—Gail Sheehy (20th century)
