Retro City Rampage creator Brian Provinciano promised a development update for February 20, so here it is. Is he not a man of his word?

The most important bit of news is that, in addition to WiiWare and Xbox Live Arcade, Retro City Rampage will also be getting cozy on PlayStation Network, PS Vita, and Steam. The game will release some time in May, and that date is looking like a lock.

You can even pre-order the Steam version right now on the Retro City Rampage main page for $14.99. Not only will the pre-order score you the Steam key the second the game arrives, it'll also earn you a soundtrack sampler, a digital manual, an 25% off all RCR-branded shirts, posters, and pins on Fangamer.

So, yeah, boyee! Get on that sh*t!

Glad Brian Provinciano caved in to the demands of us PC Gamers. Also, Mr. Destructoid and Jonathan Holmes! All my money, Brian.

(PS Holmes needs to get Brian on 'sup Holmes)

Vita version sounds good. Though I kind of want a 3DS version more because I think having a map on the bottom screen at all times would be cool.

any confirmation on game pad support for the PC version? Why, that would simply be divine.

I was planning to get this for XBLA, but maybe I'll go for the Steam one instead. Hmm.

Also apparently this news announcement and pre-order dealie broke their website. Good job internet. XD

@Kereth:
I would think native 360 controller support is almost a given.

LMFAO I get a 503 on their website now. I assume it's getting swamped with traffic and buyers!

Seems like it has been worth the wait. Glad to see he's really getting it out there. I'm still getting it for Xbox, though.

This game is going to have A LOT of content. I can't wait to try to burn through it all.

Also, Brian will be on this Sunday's Sup Holmes?, so watch that!

My favorite part of video games is when retro fascists call Modern Warfare creatively bankrupt.

Great news. I thought Microsoft would be cock-blocking the PSN release for at least a year.

Eh, by the time it's finally released I'm probably not even going to care any more.

Thank goodness this game didn't turn out to be vaporware... but wow, it's coming out for almost everything (except the 3DS eShop, but hey). I'll probably pick it up for Wii, since I like the controllers better on Wii. What's up, D-Pad?
BoomingEchoes's Avatar - Comment posted on 02/21/2012 16:07

Interesting how the 3DS isn't included in this.. I'd probably be more willing to play it on that then anything else. So, probably nab it on the Vita I guess, if not XBL.

Either way though, I'm not wild about a $15 price tag either, no matter how robust the game seems. I'll probably wait for a sale to bring it down to $10 (where I think it should be)

It's definitely overflowing with content. I'll get to play this in May(probably).
