Retro City Rampage’s release on Wii (through WiiWare) is still in the pipeline. When it finally does launch, players will be able to take advantage of a few control schemes.

The 2D open-world title will offer support for the Wiimote, GameCube controller, and Classic controller. Developer VBlank Entertainment suggests using the latter option over the first two, however.
