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.”
