More talk of Runner 2 on Wii U

Posted on April 12, 2012 by (@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U

Gaijin Games co-founder Alex Neuse has fired off another round of comments which hint at a Wii U version of Bit.Trip Presents: Runner 2.

Last month, the game was pushed back to November. As far as whether or not Gaijin will be looking to make a Wii U version of Runner 2, Neuse said:

“(Smiles) I wonder. I wonder if that means that. Let me put it this way: we have a Wii U dev kit, and our game is coming out around the time that system launches, so that would be pretty cool.”

Neuse followed up with comments on how the Wii U controller excites him:

“I have to think of it in terms of Runner2 now — thinking about it broadly would be too much — but if we were to do a Wii U version, what if you could have a pick-up in the game that reveals hidden bonuses and stuff that you can’t see on your screen but have to hold the controller up? You’re still playing but it’s sort of like an X-ray vision.

“Yeah [sort of like a CommanderVideo detective mode], exactly! (laughs) You get a Silent Scope kind of feel. But anyway, if we do a Wii U version I don’t know what we would do with the controller. I would want to do something unique, but honestly we haven’t figured that part out.”

Gaijin Games even posted the following on Twitter today:

“What Wii U features would you like to see on the OFF CHANCE that we bring Runner2 to the platform?”

Runner (and the Bit.Trip series in general) made its debut on Wii. Wouldn’t it be nice to see Runner 2 on the console’s successor?
