Retro City Rampage is an open-world NES-style game calling back to the original Grand Theft Auto games. The game was technically in development for around a decade, starting out as a blatant demake of Grand Theft Auto III until turning into more of a general tribute to 80s gaming (and other media). The game is also known for its many quirky ports, including an even more down-scaled MS-DOS port, a proposed Game Boy Advance port, and the enhanced DX+ version on the Wii...released in 2020.

Wii Banner Cutout

The bottom half of the Player's body sprite on the Wii's banner is cut off. This sprite is also noticeably different from the one used in-game.
