Retro City Rampage is an 8-bit-style open-world urban game that plays homage to the original top-down Grand Theft Auto games on PS1, and contains parodies of several other classics.
The game made its debut on PC in October 2012, and was later released on Xbox 360 via Xbox Live, and for PS3 and Vita via the PS Store (http://www.computerandvideogames.com/377740/retro-city-rampage-tops-us-vita-psn-purchases/).
A 3DS release date is yet to be announced.
