IGN just got exclusive video of Bit.Trip RUNNER in action, and I'm totally freaking out. As a huge fan of Sony's now abandoned rhythm platforming series Vib Ribbon, the original Atari 2600 version of Pitfall!, and the previously released Bit.Trip games, it was inevitable that this game would make me crap my pants with joy. I just didn't expect the crappening to happen this soon.

I love Vib Ribbon. Why it never got a U.S. release remains a mystery.
Good eye with the reference! I would have noticed it just from the gameplay, but I don't think Commander Video does a little jig after you get a high score, unfortunately.
How cute, Holmes thinks Cave Story is finally coming out this year =D or do you know something we don't, does it have a release date now? Regardless I'm looking forward to RUNNER xnd Super Meat Boy, will be 10/10 games.

Came with a sweet poster though!
I'll download RUNNER, day one.
I can't wait to see how the game feels to play it.
Personally, I think the game looks exceptionally fun, like something out of Rhythm Heaven.
Field day for Wii though
