Brian Provinciano's Retro City Rampage is coming out for Xbox Live Arcade this summer. The XBLA version of the game will have widescreen support, a challenge mode, a character creator mode, and video replays, and it now features Mr. Destructoid as a playable character! You'll be able to find and equip the Destructoid helmet, which will give you some special powers -- but that will be revealed a little later.
Not only that, but Destructoid is also a PLAYABLE level! At some point during your quest in Retro City Rampage, you will have to find Jonathan Holmes to get a special item. The quest is simple enough -- that is, until Dr. Von Buttnick steals the special item and goes on a city-wide rampage in the giant Destructoid robot!
Boom! Happy birthday, Destructoid readers. We'll have more on the Destructoid quest in Retro City Rampage soon. Until then, check out both of the videos featuring the Destructoid appearances.
Hamza Aziz, Destructoid's Community Director, has been here since day one. He was born when a tiger coughed up a hairball into a pool of ooze. He was one of the original Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles before budget cuts. Hamza works as a previews editor and manages a team in San Francisco. To date he has given away tens of thousands of dollars in prizes to readers. What a dick. Actually, Hamza is as kind as he is hairy.

Awesome, about time Mr. Destructoid got into another game! I know Raskulls just came out, but I feel like that game was done for months before it was finally able to get released.
Maybe I'm behind on the news for this, but is this coming to PSN at all? I checked the website and it only says XBLA and WiiWare. It probably isn't, but I'm just in denial D:
Ah man, this better still be coming out for PSN! I'm tired of XBox, the one console of this generation I don't own, getting all these awesome downloadable titles that I can't play...
That's understandable. For me I just want to keep all of my digital-distribution games on one platform. It's just that I've sort of "settled in" and want to preferably keep stuff in one place.
At this point, I just hope the Wii doesn't get screwed out of this game because of something similar to SMB. I'm down one console, I can't lose access to this game on the other!
I'd look forward to this but I'm too busy playing the slew of Kotaku and Joystiq themed games that came out ages ago and definitely exist. Yup, all those ones...
This game keeps getting better and better. Also, whoever is responsible for their Facebook page is doing a fantastic job. I'll buy this on day one and maybe buy it as a gift for some friends.
That sounds/looks fuking awesome, and Holmes is going to be famous, hopefully the power that the helmet gives you is something destructoid related, but I wouldn't know what they could use........cocks maybe.

That sounds pretty awesome.
What's the status on the WiiWare version?
NOW WHEN CAN I PLAY IT?????

Don't worry, I'll be sure to tell you all about it :)
Seriously, man, we need to get you a 360. Sexualchocolate isn't using his, maybe you could ask him to borrow it until the "eggsbawks gets some games"?
Also, Happy Birthday. ;O)
HOLY SHIT
I guess I'll have to get it on WiiWare.
Also, happy birthday, Destructoid!

Happy Birthday Destructoid/Niero!
It would be so SW33T!!!
I'm totally stoked for this release. I may or may not be moist, even.
That game probably could have used some Silver Sterling, but that won't stop me from giving it a look. There's always DLC,right?
My mind was blown.
ahhh, The wait for the WiiWare version is going to kill me.
