We're pretty big fans of Retro City Rampage DX here at Nintendo Life, as its blend of chaotic retro GTA-style action and a whole load of '80s and '90s references come together into a hugely entertaining package. Though excellent on WiiWare, the DX edition on the 3DS eShop is the most feature and content-packed version on Nintendo hardware [Correction: the WiiWare version has also been updated with the DX content].
One disadvantage on the 3DS, however, is the absence of dual stick aiming, an option that made the Classic Controller / Pro a must on Wii. Though he hasn't previously been able to support the Circle Pad Pro, developer Brian Provinciano has tweeted confirmation that he's now producing an update to support the C-Stick on the New Nintendo 3DS.
The C-Stick does work differently from a Circle Pad, functioning as a pressure based nub, but we're still pretty pleased that dual stick aiming is on the way.
Will you be checking this out on the New Nintendo 3DS, or sticking to the existing controls on a standard 3DS? Let us know.

I like this a lot! I really need to actually get into this game!
@ThomasBW84 Can I just point out that the Wii version has since received an update to bring it on par with the 3DS version. I only say this as the developer still requires more copies to be sold on Wii in order to see a ROI.
With the new possibility of Wii software booting directly from the Wii U menu, the publisher should approach Nintendo about getting Retro City Rampage to the Wii U eShop! This increased exposure should dramatically increase sales, and possibly take sales beyond the units-sold-threshold before the two year period ends!
I got excited when I saw this on Miiverse (yes, Miiverse).
Funny thing is, I have the game downloaded but I probably won't actually get to playing it until after the update arrives.
The C-Stick works really on After Burner II. I use it to increase / reduce speed.
Hopefully the C-Stick will work really well on this game.
@Mus1cLov3r we know what that is
Kudos to these guys for keeping on with the updates!
@BornInNorway81
Yes!!! And perhaps even one of those "buy both @ reduced price" -deals could help making their hard work worthwhile.
Sounds good, I hope the few games that supported the circle pad pro will be able to make use of the new buttons and c sick as well.
@Mega719 Well, of course you did... I didn't expect you not to.
Please give it a 3D update too. I bum out every time I turn this game on. Just wishing it were in 3D.
@SanderEvers: Awesome, thanks for the clarification on that;) Do you know by chance if the new 3DS XL will be able to hold more than 300 applications? I'm already at max and then some.
I've been playing Resident Evil: Revelations using the C-stick and it's amazing... It's made the game not only playable but very enjoyable for me. Glad I got it when it was on offer...
If Retro City Rampage gets c-stick compatability, maybe that too will become enjoyable... as at the moment, I just can't get into it.
I also downloaded MGS:3D and wow. It's so much better on New 3DS.
