Gaijin Games once again says Bit.Trip Runner 2 is an option on Wii U, talk about BitTroid
Bit.Trip Runner 2 was delayed to November earlier today, and Gaijin Games artist Mike Roush is once again reminding everyone that a Wii U version is possible. The console should be out for the holidays… wouldn’t Bit.Trip Runner 2 be a nice launch title for the Wii U’s store?
Regarding a Wii U version, Roush said:
“(A Wii U version is) definitely something we’re thinking about. My guess is we will always be with Nintendo. Everyone at Gaijin Games is a Nintendo fanboy, so we will most likely continue that relationship in the future. We’ll make one game and cross-platform it to the best of our ability. When we made these decisions we never knew about Wii U. So rather than us ‘leaving Nintendo’, it’s that these decisions were made a year ago. We would never leave Nintendo, we love them to death.”
That’s not the only news from Roush. He teased an idea Gaijin Games has for something called “BitTroid”. It would be “a mash-up of Bit.Trip and Metroid.”
He said:
“We’ve been joking around for years about making ‘BitTroid’ – a mash-up of Bit.Trip and Metroid. We’ve never thought about it seriously but we talk about it often. It would be something we’d love to do. We’d need to get a sub-team focused on that and do it in the old Bit.Trip style.”
