First of E3 2011: Retro City Rampage

I often wonder about some homebrew NES games that simply vanish. One such game was Grand Theftendo: an attempt to crte an GTA-style homebrew NES game. I stopped keeping up with the project yr ago, when the developer went AWOL.

However, the game has resurfaced as a WiiWare, PSN, and XBLA title: Retro City Rampage. Suppodly the game jokes, much like Fight Town, and gaming/GTA/bt-'em-up tropes (Final Fight took place in "Metro City" and "River City Ransom" is considered by many gamers to be the grtest bt-'em-up of all time, and the first to fuse RPG elements into a bt-'em-up.

Even though Retro City Ransom loses some novelty by not being an actual Famicom game, I'm glad to see the developer rch a wider audience with 8-Bit gaming.
