I had a chance to chat with Brian Provinciano of Vlank Entertainment, best known for his upcoming title Retro City Rampage, the 8-bit GTA game that started out on a hacked NES and is now set to debut on XBLA this summer.
So Brian, why don’t you tell us a bit about yourself and the game briefly before I really start to grill you with questions?
Brian: Well I’m a game developer who pretty much does everything from the programming to the art, design, and business – definitely wearing the indie hat for sure. I used to work in the industry for many years, and before that I was a hobbyist, or “indie” before the term was coined. I’ve been working on Retro City Rampage, or at least a retro-style GTA game for…..wow…..over seven years now, and I went full time about two years ago and have just been plugging away, and it will come out on Xbox Live this summer and WiiWare this fall.
Online multiplayer is back for 11 more games thanks to Insignia's XBL 1.0 replacement service running on Original Xbox consoles and the Xemu emulator on PC. Multiplayer, voice chat, leaderboards, etc. have been a monthly addition for many games from Xbox's past library thank to the team at Insignia.live! The 11 new games are now playable online once again after 13+ years.

Booo!! I was hoping that was Rainbow Six: Black Arrow...Boo!! again. I thought this coming to Xbox. I don't even read it I was so excited.
When a game released exclusively digitally disappears from distribution, it becomes impossible to play it legally. Actually, quite a few gems have disappeared in this manner, with the legendary P.T. being just the beginning of the story.
Nice message and physical should always be supported, but I am not supporting this article being set across like nine pages.
The Wii Shop Channel will be going offline very soon. Here's everything you'll need to know if you want to make some last minute purchases, or want to preserve any games that you've previously bought.
Luckily with the Homebrew scene on the Wii being as big as it is, you could still get these afterwards.
The Switch VC can't come soon enough. I wish they'd wait until then to phase out the Wii's VC.
