The 90s Arcade Racer Shaping up on Nintendo Wii U

Developer Nicalis has lifted the lid on the progress of the Wii U version of '90s Arcade Racer.

The bold and bright racing game, as the name suggests, takes a leaf out of the big book of rally racing gems released in the early to late nineties, and aims to bring back that much missed arcade feel to the living room.

Creators Antonis and Tyrone confirmed that, despite some aspects of the PC version not portable to the Wii U edition, the team are "very happy with the results." At the moment the Wii U is "proving very capable of running the game at 60fps at 720p with 4xMSAA and FXAA resulting in a crystal clear image. It's simply beautiful."

As for the main game itself, the "goal is to be able to race against 30 cars in each race", with a mid-2014 goal at the moment for the game's release.

Finally, a teaser photo of '90s Arcade Racer running on Wii U:
