Retro City Rampage
 

Brian Provinciano's upcoming WiiWare title mixes GTA on NES with a million references to old games and movies.

It all just looks so wonderfully crisp 8-bit, or you can get it for the music alone.

Gameplay at PAX, sadly he feels the need to point out all the references to (I assume) journalists, so bear with that.
Game looks lovely:

It certainly has potential. I don't buy a lot of Wiiware, but this does look good.

I'm already mad at TMNT again for that level.

Oh god. Memories of gaming rage flooding back here.

The gameplay actually looks like it might hold up as well. If so, this will be the first Wiiware game I actually buy.

Why the fuck is the ninja turtle water level in this game? Game looks cool. I have to say the retro wave that sparked after Megaman 9 has been supremely refreshing.

:(

This guy has been working on this since like 2004 or something, I think it was originally just a straight-up 8-bit GTA game and just sort spiraled out from there.

FYI far as I know the retro wave was started by Bionic Commando Rearmed but I guess Megaman 9 helped keep the ball rolling so to speak. Still undecided for now, but the thought of revisiting retro games rage sections like the ninja turtles isn't exactly a selling point for me.
