Nintendo Minute: Retro City Rampage: DX
Originally released in early 2013, Retro City Rampage from Vblank Entertainment takes everything you loved about the video games, television, and films of the 80’s and 90’s and compresses them into an 8-bit Grand Theft Auto-esque parody filled with more inside jokes than humanly possible. Time-traveling DeLoreans? It’s in there. Does it have certain hard-shelled ninjas who live in sewers? You’re covered. A John Stamos hair salon? You bet.
Though the game received positive reviews from the gaming community, the staff at Vblank has spent the past year working hard to improve all aspects of Retro City Rampage–tweaking all of the game’s missions, mini games, weapons, driving, and interface– culminating into the ‘director’s cut’ of the game entitled Retro City Rampage: DX, which debuted February 5 on the Nintendo 3DS eShop.
Retro City Rampage developer Brian Provinciano sat down with Kit and Krista of Nintendo Channel for an in-depth interview regarding all of the improvements found in Retro City Rampage: DX.
