Pure Nintendo: "If you missed the game last year on WiiWare, or haven’t experienced it at all, there’s never been a better time to check it out in ‘Deluxe’ form. With all the additions, tweaks, and a fresh coat of polish, Retro City Rampage: DX is the definitive version of the classic game, and an absolute must own! If you’ve played the game prior, you might still consider checking it out – there are enough improvements to warrant another look, and playing on a handheld offers its own advantages over playing on a home console. I think it’s telling that so many who are buying the game on 3DS already own it on other systems – it speaks to not just how fun the game is, but how much effort was put into this handheld port. The game will continue to get free updates too! There is so much more that could be said about Retro City Rampage: DX but, besides having run out of space, it would be spoilers for those yet to play it. Have fun by discovering all this great game has to offer on your own! Retro City Rampage: DX is an early candidate for 3DS eShop game of the year!"
Physical vs. digital is always a tough choice. Although the eShop has a variety of digital games, there is still a high demand for physical editions of games. That is especially the case when it…
VBlank Entertainment has announced today that it is bringing Retro City Rampage to retail. Sort of. The open-world love letter to games of the past and present will be getting a physical version, though you'll have to order it online via the VBlank website.
Phil writes, "Until now, I've never played any version of Retro City Rampage! GAH! There. I said it. After seven years or so on the market in various forms, this was my first time playing Retro City Rampage. It finally seemed like a solid starting point with the newly released and relevant Nintendo Switch version, so here I am. The console itself has been my go-to for indie games, as I love being able to play them on-the-go or at home while having the TV on the background as I play in undocked mode. I can definitely, 100% agree that the high amount of love and praise for Retro City Rampage and its deluxe incarnation (the latter being the review subject) is very much deserved. Still is, as you'll see with my own love and praise for the game."
