Well, some good and bad news for fans of the upcoming Retro City Rampage game. The good news is that the game is now definitely coming to a platform other than WiiWare, in fact it’s actually coming to my preferred platform of XBLA. The abd news is that the game has been delayed significantly to the summer of 2011. For those that recall, the game was originally slated for this month.

Some other off putting news for Wii owners is that the game isn’t set to launch on WiiWare until fall of 2011, a significant delay from when it was supposed to launch exclusively onto the service.

Still, it’s not all bad news as it appears that Retro City Rampage could be in the running for inclusion into Microsoft’s coveted “Summer of Arcade” event that they hold annually. No specific word on it yet, but I’d be surprised if such a high caliber game wasn’t included.

Our own Peter Eykemans previewed the game recently and found it to be a fantastic gaming experience even 6 months out from release. Even I can attest to the fact that the game is certainly shaping up quite nicely given my play time at this past year’s PAX 2010. So, with that said, let the waiting game begin.
