I'm not normally big into the WiiWare scene, but I'll take a cue from Jonathan Holmes and make an exception for Gaijin Games' Bit.Trip RUNNER. Y'all have my full attention now, gentlemen -- this new trailer is out of control, and I love it.
A bunch of unexplainable things are happening on screen at once and of the parts I can actually make out, every last bit is gushing with style and utter weirdness. This is the stuff that brightens my day after reporting on the less-than-captivating aspects of this industry.
Confirmed: Bit.Trip RUNNER will make you smile.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Is it me or are the levels designed to sync with the music? They might be doing that just for the trailer but I swear that leaked footage did the same thing. That would be pretty awesome.
Also, OMGOMGOGMOMG I CNA"T WAIT!!!
I was going to buy a Wii, anyway, but knowing I'll have this available to me sometime in the near future makes my potential purchase seem that much more urgent.
i have rakugaki showtime and it is also my all time favorite PS1 game.
never played vib ribbon, but have always wanted to.
-Delicious retro graphics
-Catchy retro music
-Simple but challenging platforming
I love you, Gajin Games!
I thought it looked the exact opposite. Previous trailers have shown the game very obviously following a beat with every move you make but this one just has a single song playing over several different levels.
I'm hoping the game is more like previous trailers than this one. The beats are supposed to act as cues for your inputs the way I understand it.
This looks amazing. down right magical
@DinnertimeNinja
It's subtle in the trailer (pay attention when he jumps and slides) which I assume is because it's clips set to a non-clipped song. I bet an unedited clip of gameplay would match up more but there's really not a better way to show that in a trailer (without chopping up the music).
@Birthmark Destructor:
The series starts at 2-bit and moves up--that's what the creators were aiming for.
This shit must end! NOW!
*rolleyes*
@ Birthmark Destructor
What's your problem ?
Troll activity is not appriciated.
Wishing a game was on a system you owned so you could get it is another story completely.
And you're a horrible troll who can't pull his head out of his ass and attempt a little something called "logic". So I guess we're even.
Also, Super Meat Boy in 1:29
That was Anthony Burch.
Ive never really seen the appeal of other Bit.Trip games, they all seem, a little boring, just moving a paddle or whatever, but I probably will buy this. Looks awesome :D
And yeah, we're totally suing these fuckers.
