Good news, loyal followers of Gaijin Games! We now have a launch date for the studio's latest, Bit.Trip Runner. May 17 is the day of arrival, with a European release expected to follow soon thereafter.
As catchy as the music is, I rarely ever am able to force my lazy self to boot up the ol' Wii and give WiiWare a nice perusal. Not this time. I have my novelty-sized calendar all marked and ready to constantly remind me to purchase Bit.Trip Runner when the time comes.
Who else is beyond ready to introduce this game to their household?
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied:
"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

With the exception of February, there have been a handful of game for every month this year, for every platform that I want to buy and play. And I simply don't have that much time or money. This is insane.
Someone stop this crazy thing.
Also, "Someone stop this crazy thing," is what I expect to yell most frequently while playing Bit Trip Runner.
Oh well, it will be an incredible week for platformer lovers - aka me :)
