Cruis'n looks like Chewie, Baba Booey, and Hong Kong Phooey all in one

We've shown you trailers of nice looking games recently, so now it's time for one that's ... not so nice. In fact, Midway's Cruis'n is looking downright gross.

Many Nintendo fans have developed a "gameplay over graphics" mantra, but this "effort" by Midway just seems insulting. There's no reason that a Wii game should resemble an N64 game, unless it's on the Virtual Console.

Check out the official Cruis'n trailer above if you want to have your mind blown, in a bad way.

Mii Spotlight: 'Cause you're ugly

Ugliest Luigi ever

Poor Luigi. The lanky plumber already has enough problems dealing with his older brother always stealing the spotlight and Princess Daisy's failure to commit to a serious relationship, but now he has to worry about embarassing photos from 20 years ago resurfacing on the internet. We all have our fair share of unflattering pictures from the 80s, but the images posted for this vintage Super Mario Bros. doll auction are downright embarassing.

This 3.5'-tall toy was a promotional item from Nintendo that was never released to the general public. Head past the post break to see what the green guy looked like before he tamed his hair and trimmed his mustache. He really let himself go back then -- look at that hat!
