About a week ago we told you about an upcoming update for the 3DS version of Retro City Rampage, Vblank Entertainment's old-school take on GTA, which would add in support for the C-Stick on the New Nintendo 3DS. Today, studio head Brian Provinciano took to Miiverse to reveal more details about the update.
It's expected that the update will be coming early next month and will include a few more goodies than just the dual stick support. It will also be bringing a solid 60fps experience, erasing the minor hiccups that used to occur, as well as a Spanish translation and the ability to turn cop coins on or off. Users who own a New Nintendo 3DS can also look forward to a smoother turbo mode, smoother screen effects, and quicker fast forwarding thanks to the enhanced CPU. Provinciano also said that more details will be coming soon, suggesting that there could perhaps be more to this update that hasn't yet been revealed.
What did you think of Retro City Rampage DX? Will this update convince you to take the plunge if you don't already own it?
Thanks to Ryan Millar for the tip!

I think I'll wait to start playing this until I have a New 3DS and the update is live.
I has RCR. I has New 3DS. I has a happy for this news.
I really dislike how the game controls. And the way the car controls even more... Hoping the update improves the game immensely...at least my son likes it...
like a moron i bought this game on wed night. woke up on thurs to see i could have saved $5. BOO!!!
@NbaJunkie You can change the vehicle controls.
This just reminded me I bought this on my wii u/Wii little while ago and havnt even tried it. Bonus =)
Ok. I'm begging now. Please please please add 3D. PLEASE!!! weeps
Already have this game, can't wait to see the updates!!
It's great that they are still supporting this game after its been out for several years on the Wii.
Anybody looking for 3D in this game are only fooling themselves; I'm almost certain the developers ported this game here only to show Nintendo their support and dedication. A retro throwback game like this does not need 3D, nor do I think it should, either.
It's admirable that they're still updating. I may give it another whirl on the New 3DS once it's out and the update is live.
With a good discount i'd definiely get it to support such an awesomely idealistic dev. 've already bought the Wii version, 9 bucks is just a bit too much for me in this case.
This was a day-1 for me. No sale needed! Such a great game!! Happy to support the developer.
I had so much fun with this on WiiWare and classic controller classic.
Free updates are always welcome. Looking forward to what this game can really do on the new 3DS XL!
@EmmatheBest Seeing as though I'm the only one begging for 3D in this thread, I'm gonna hazard a guess that your (not so ambiguous) comment wad directed at me. That you feel that the 3D is unnecessary is fine. But last I looked, it is a 3DS and well... Where's my 3D?
@Gen0neD I'd love to see 3D in it too. I said the same thing about Fractured Soul, because when it first arrived it was the most expensive game on the eShop. But I guess we could say the same about Virtual Console games. At this point though, I'm just happy to have a ton of games of this quality/better/worse in my pocket. I appreciate 3D where they use in the big games but if I had my way, every game on 3DS would feature it.
(I realize now that Fractured Soul probably didn't have it because a player has to look so quickly back and forth between screens to platform correctly in the game, 3D face tracking just wasn't there yet)
That guy really is supporting the RCR players. Awesome.
Is this a cross-buy game?
@JHDKoopman
I nearly did the same thing!
I know they won't but put it on the Wii U and I'll buy it.
@Gen0neD When I play my 3ds and there is no 3d I feel like there's something wrong with my system. Just bought Citizens of Earth on Tuesday and no 3d. That bummed me put as I wanted that version because of it. If a game is offered both on the Wii U and 3ds and is essentially the same game ie Shovel Knight I always go 3ds for this reason.
No 3d in this game has me on the fence. I do like the update and now it makes it more appealing to purchase but I wants my 3d.
Does the New Shante have 3d?
@Spoony_Tech Alright, so I'm not the only one who feels this way. I haven't gotten to Shantae yet, so I don't know that answer. Plus my backlog is extensive and Dragon Age is killing me but, I think the same way about there not being a 3D option for a 3DS game. And like audiobrainiac stated above, I first noticed my dislike for this on Fractured Soul. I could've SWORN that Fractured Soul was in 3D. Only to find out post purchase, that this was not the case. Unless its a DS game, made playable on 3DS...
@audiobrainiac Agreed
There is not going to be 3D in this game as it would have to be rendered in 3D because of it's perspective.
Maybe there could be a sequel with 3D but the dev stated that there will be no 3D for RCR.

@TeeJay The fact he also updated the Wii version I think shows more about his character. (Even after not making a penny from it).
@EmmatheBest Nothing "needs" 3D, so I don't get your point. Seeing as how 3D is part of the system, it's a bit disappointing when new games come out for it that have no 3D implementation at all. I want every game to have 3D, it's not a matter of need.
