System: Switch
Release date: May 22, 2018
Developer: Choice Provisions
Publisher: Choice Provisions / Nicalis

The Bit.Trip series has had an interesting aesthetic progression. Starting out as an assortment of simple WiiWare rhythm games with mock Atari 2600-style visuals, it treated a few simple gameplay concepts with a kind of low fidelity presentation suitable for the WiiWare service’s strict file size limitations. Out of this collection, Bit.Trip Runner found the most success. Being the least abstract of the series, the autorunning rhythm platformer was fashioned after Pitfall, if Pitfall had trance-inducing chiptune music. Runner2 released with a revamped 3D art style and a musical style that was appropriately more sophisticated. In most ways, Runner3 is a natural progression from Runner2, cutting down on superfluous gameplay concepts and evolving the Bit.Trip formula to an impressive degree. Its control nuances and smart level design makes for one of the least stiff and most improvisational autorunning games that I’ve played.

Update: And just like that, we already have a silouette for one of the Dream Friends:

Original: We now have confirmation that Nintendo and HAL Laboratory will introduce the next update for Kirby Star Allies sometime this summer. The news was just made known on the official Japanese Kirby Twitter account.

What can we expect from the next update? At the very least, new Dream Friends should be on the way. A number of characters were leaked last month through datamining.

The first major update for Kirby Star Allies was published shortly after launch in March. It was highlighted by the addition of new Dream Friends Marx, Gooey, and Rick & Kine & Coo.
