3, the references are certainly fun to find and point out. Whether it was the first major mission being a take on Metal Gear, a jump into a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles-like sewer with the same exact look of the super hard NES game, or notes given to Player on the same stationery that Princess Toadstool mailed to Mario at the end of each world in Super Mario Bros. For me, I was busting a gut and giggling with glee from the opening ten minutes. Your mileage will vary depending on how many references you gel with. The game doesn't try to be anything further than be a hilarious parody of video games and pop culture, particularly around the '80s and early '90s.

It's constantly shifting from mission to mission, story point to story point, all while never letting the player rest for a moment. Retro City Rampage never lingers on one particular thing. The story is as simple as the rude dude with an attitude, named Player, being transported into the future, and now he must gather all seven pieces of the broken down DeLorean-esque time machine to return back home. The game really is just an excuse to drive around, plow into vehicles, shoot anyone without discrimination, and enjoy the game's fantastic missions and odes to games and pop culture of times past. Retro City Rampage DX relishes in its ridiculousness and urges players to savor in its stupidity. Still is, as you'll see with my own love and praise for the game. I can definitely, 100% agree that the high amount of love and praise for Retro City Rampage and its deluxe incarnation (the latter being the review subject) is very much deserved.

The console itself has been my go-to for indie games, as I love being able to play them on-the-go or at home while having the TV on the background as I play in undocked mode. It finally seemed like a solid starting point with the newly released and relevant Nintendo Switch version, so here I am. After seven years or so on the market in various forms, this was my first time playing Retro City Rampage. Until now, I've never played any version of Retro City Rampage! GAH! There.
