Gaijin Games announces Bit.Trip Runner 2 for the Wii U
Since wrapping up the Bit.Trip series with the sublime Bit.Trip Flux, Gaijin Games has broadened its horizons, re-releasing some of their more popular titles for PC and iOS. Spending the last few years inducing smiles from Nintendo enthusiasts, the Santa Cruz-based indie studio shifted its focus to PlayStation Network and Xbox Live Arcade, apparently drawing a bit of ire from their most fervent and loyal patrons in the process. Fear not, perturbed prospective Wii U owner -- the developer has announced their next title, Bit.Trip Presents: Runner 2, Future Legend of Rhythm Alien for Nintendo's next generation console. Complete with infectious chiptunes courtesy of Fez composer Disasterpeace, Gaijin has also announced a vast array of new abilities, costumes, and close to ten playable characters for the follow-up to Bit.Trip Runner. You can expect Wii U Game Pad support and trophies as well, if you're into that sort of thing. Did you know? You can now get daily or weekly email notifications when humans reply to your comments.
Legacy Comments (will be imported soon)I'm assuming this will be released on the Wii U's equivalent of te eShop, right?
The newfangled "Nintendo Network"? "You can expect Wii U Game Pad support and trophies as well, if you're into that sort of thing."
Are you saying the Wii U is going to have achievements? Cool news regardless. Looks fun. This is one of those games that were heavily hinted at for Wii U release, along with Toki Tori 2.
Im excite, I like the Bit Trip series. I kinda wish they'd have more variety of musicians in the games, like a different chiptunes artist for every few levels would be pretty cool. But nevertheless still really liked the original Runner so I'll probably get this when it's out. Suprised that Holmes did not fight you to the death to post this, but then again he hates anything fun/modern/HD, such a game hipster. 3:00 AM on 05.10.2013 Save big time on a bunch of Bit.Trip games on SteamGaijin Games has a huge sale going on right now on a bunch of the Bit.Trip games over on Steam.
