The Wii U version of Runner2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien features a special homage to the Famicom.
Gaijin’s Mike Roush revealed to the Official Nintendo Magazine that players will be able to collect Famicom cartridges in the game. By doing so, they’ll unlock Retro Game Challenges.
According to Gaijin’s Mike Roush:
“You will be able to play the Retro Challenges on the Wii U Pad after collecting Famicom cartridges. We have a whole Famicom theme around the Wii Pad, and Disasterpeace made the most amazing music with FamiTracker so it’s sounds just like a Famicom game!”
One more piece of news: when you “boot up” the mini-games, they’ll play out as if Runner2 were a NES game.
