The Switch port of Cannonball, an improved Outrun engine developed by djyt, has been ported by rsn8887. The developer would like to thank djyt for writing such an excellent program and ensuring its effortless portability. Additionally, the developer extends their gratitude to ScHlAuChi for testing the game.

Furthermore, rsn8887 wants to express their appreciation for their Patreon supporters, namely Andyways, CountDuckula, Matthew Machnee, and Sean Ritzo. It's important to note that Arcade roms for Outrun Version B are necessary to run this engine. These roms are not included in the download, and you can find installation instructions for them.

This game boasts many features, including smoother 60fps gameplay, a genuine Widescreen Play Mode, Force Feedback support, Custom Track support from LayOut, and new game modes such as Continuous Mode and Time Trial Mode, among many other enhancements.
