Grand Theft Auto NES

We don't get to talk much about Grand Theft Auto on a Nintendo blog, but the folks at College Humor whipped up this silly video showing what the game would be like on the NES. After seeing this, we think Rockstar should seriously consider adding a tanuki suit in the next iteration of the game (we kid). In any case, it's amusing to see the sandbox-style game in limited, pixelated glory. We're not sure if people would have been ready for Grand Theft Auto in the late 80s, though, which makes this video all the more humorous.

This reminds me of Grand Theftendo, and that makes me sad, because I don't have it =(

that one was kinda...lame? I mean it didn't really look "nes"-ish in the graphics ;D. Fail!

Yeah. It was a weird mix of things, but it was mostly like an upgraded Atari 2600, both in graphics and sound.

Of course, in reality it probably would have been more or less the same as the Game Boy Color version.

The dragon boss was pretty funny though.
