No Bit.Trip Runner 2 for Wii due to limitations, Wii U version might be possible

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

If you’ve been keeping track of multiplatform news on our sister site, then you probably saw the announcement that Gaijin Games is developing Bit.Trip Presents: Runner 2. Although the franchise started out on WiiWare, Runner’s sequel will not be making an appearance on the service (or the 3DS for that matter).

Gaijin Games’ Alex Neuse said in an interview that the title won’t be made for the Wii because it “cannot handle the game.” On the bright side, the studio is considering Runner 2 for Wii U.

“…the Wii cannot handle the game. If the console were able to hang with what we’re going to be doing on the PS3 and 360, we would definitely be bringing it to the Wii as well. I mean, you know us; we love the Wii! Now, we are considering Wii-U, but we’re not ready to officially announce anything yet.”

First, it seems that the some sort of multiplayer functionality. The site lists that two people can play wirelessly. The site also says that Revelations will support local play, Internet play, and StreetPass.

Since details for these features have yet to be shared, it sounds like Capcom has plenty of content announce before the title launches next year.
