E3: Bit.Trip Runner 2 En Route For Wii U

Things are coming full circle for Gaijin Games at this year's E3; the franchise kicked off by their Wii Ware hit Bit.Trip Beat in 2009 will offer its newest incarnation, Bit.Trip Presents: Runner 2, Future Legend of Rhythm Alien on Nintendo's Wii U. With ten playable characters as well as unlockable content, Bit.Trip Runner 2 has the potential to push the franchise beyond its humble indie roots in to the realm of the titans. There are still many details to come, but the simple confirmation of the game's eventual release is exciting enough.

Disasterpeace, the chiptunes artist behind the innovative platformer FEZ, will be providing the music for Bit.Trip Runner 2; in other words, the soundtrack is going to be beyond top-notch. Gaijin Games has already refined the Bit.Trip rhythm gameplay to perfection. Combining that with music of Disasterpeace quality will result in unimaginably good rhythm gaming.
