This game looks pretty cool. The music is awesome and it looks like it's stole levels and gameplay from Contra, TMNT (the first one) and Bionic Commando. This looks like a must download.

Wants!

I can't wait to put my hands on this game. It overflows awesomeness.

The developer is being quiet, and hasn't beeen saying anything for a while, something's up. One thing's for sure, I can't wait to play this on my Wii. The moment I saw this in nintendo power, I quickly jumped up and immediately put it on my wish list. I haven't been this excited for a game in a while. I can't wait.

this one is looking good.

This. Looks. Awesome.

You know this game is based on 8-bit gta.There actually was a game like that but its lost and canceled

check it out

First the xbox then the wii

This is vaporware!

no no my friends, this here is what we call a pipedream, a front, a lie for the most part. This dood is some sort of psychotic perfectionist, and will never ever be able to meet his own "standards"... its all bogus. Lol I give up on this game, lol but its funny how NL still has it as a game that isn't out yet....LOL! it's never going to come out, same thing with Night Sky by Nicalis....

It's all just pipedreams...

Sweet, heavenly pipedreams...

Well sorry, I live in objective reality, and I refuse to sit by and idly wait for something I fullheartedly know that isn't to be.

I mean I've heard of rushjobs, but this is a .... NOjob....

IE...it was never meant to be..
basically, the intent of this game ,was to scare competitors into never making the above mentioned canceled game. Why? Because Im sure this dood wrote a little bit of code for the game, but come on, lets be real, its like if you are not ready to release it, then do not give a date, do not give us false hope! It's sad, because it looked like a clever game, but I heard from the man himself! "I am not going through with the development of Retro City Rampage, due to insufficient funds and lack of time to write all of the strings of code for this original NES game, I apologize to the antcipated fans, but I can no longer afford to support making this game, possibly in the future when more monetary units become available, i will be able to make my way back into this venture,"

That is a direct quote btw. I knew it was too good to be true! Im surprised NL didn't get that info before me!

@wallyobass12: source, plz?

it's drawn from the world of knowledge that is a game that takes too long to release.

I'm playing that Vaporware right now for the preview and it seems pretty solid for vaporware.

Well the official website looks like it's still being updated and says coming in 2011 so it seems to be up and running. Hope it doesn't end up like Super Meat Boy.....

When is it coming out? I'm scared of them cancelling it.

Hello - new here. Been haunting this site for a while. I found an interesting link w. some info on this game: http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/32128/Retro_City_Rampage_To_Hit_Xbox_Live_Before_WiiWare.php

Assuming the source is credible, it seems it will be hitting Xbox live this summer, and then WiiWare sometime in the fall. Just thought I'd share.

I read about this game in the July (2011) issue of GamePro! They interviewed the developer. Also, they showed all of the parodies in the game (If you watch the video above, you can see the character go down a warp pipe and collect money from brick blocks. Also, those bushes with the eyes in the Mario series are seen before the character goes in the pipe.)

Is this ever going to come out?!

I sure hope so, PoshSnivy. : /

Not in Australia anymore, apparently...

When is this going to finally to come out? ITS KILLING ME!!!!!!!!!

I really want this!

@estoiagamer actually its XBOX then Vita then Wii.

I'm reminded of Back to the Future...
