Retro City Rampage has been out on the PlayStation Network and PC for some time now, providing its fan base with old school references and parodies galore. Sadly for Xbox 360 and Wii owners, the wait has been a bit lengthier. Thankfully, however, that ongoing wait may not be too long now.

As announced by Eurogamer, both the Xbox Live Arcade and WiiWare versions of Retro City Rampage have officially entered certification. Now we wait. Developer Brian Provinciano is hopeful that the game will pass certification, and while no release date has been confirmed for the Xbox Live Arcade edition, the WiiWare version will “hopefully” launch later this month.

A lot of folks (myself included) have been enjoying the heck out of Retro City Rampage for the past two months. It’s a bit of a shame that the game isn’t widely available yet, but here’s hoping that changes soon.

As far as a Retro City Rampage 2 is concerned, Provinciano specified that there are “no plans” for a direct follow-up at this time.
