Retro City Rampage is coming to the 3DS eShop

[Administrator]

Brian Provinciano's nostalgia-tinged arcade throwback Retro City Rampage will be making its way to the 3DS eShop this "holiday season."
His cult classic was already released on PS3, Vita, Xbox 360, WiiWare and PC where the developer noted on his blog that it sold 170K units and moved another 270K on PlayStation Plus. With all these ports, one might wonder how necessary a 3DS version is, but Provinciano said that he "designed RCR with pick-up-and-play in mind," and it was arguably best-suited for a handheld device. As such, the Vita version was the best-selling one, despite the fact that very few people own Vitas. The 3DS is a far more popular platform and could give the game a whole new audience.
While the game is nearly a year old, Provinciano said that Retro City Rampage sold more and generated more revenue this year than it did last year, so it seems to have enough legs to make another console port worthwhile.
