Five Nintendo Exclusives Coming From Midway

cruisn_keyart.jpgI know the PS3 and Xbox 360 users are going to be crushed to find out that Midway will be making five of their hot hot upcoming games just for Nintendo systems. Two of the titles, Cruis’n and Game Party will be exclusive Wii titles, while Ultimate Mortal Kombat, Foster’s Home for Imaginary Friends: Imagination Invaders and The Bee Game are for the Nintendo DS. See? You’re crushed, right?

While at first I thought Cruis’n was a new game about trolling for trannies, apparently it’s just an all new version of the classic Midway arcade racer. Game Party, on the other hand is a collection of classic skill games from around the world, from American sports venues to European gathering spots (darts, table hockey, hoop shoot). Both will be available in November.
