As part of a licensing deal between Midway and Nintendo, the arcade versions of Cruis'n USA and Killer Instinct were advertised both in their attract modes and on flyers as being powered by Nintendo's Ultra 64 hardware, which would eventually be released as the Nintendo 64. However, this claim was false; the versions of both games shown at the 1994 Summer Consumer Electronics Show ran on a modified JAMMA arcade board. As for the versions released to arcades, Cruis'n USA ran on the significantly different Midway V arcade hardware, while Killer Instinct only utilized parts of the Nintendo 64 hardware. It used a 64-bit MIPS CPU and the Nintendo 64 file format for data structure, but not the console's memory media or graphics technology.
