CULVER CITY, CA – October 8, 2011 – Gaijin Games and Aksys Games are proud to reveal their new project called BIT.TRIP Presents: Runner 2, Future Legend of Rhythm Alien, which will be released on Xbox LIVE® Arcade and PlayStation©Network in 2012.

"Runner 2 is going to blast open your mind like a blooming flower and Gaijin Games is going to pollinate it with our fun proboscises" -@MikeNRoush

"With its new art style, fantastic music, and gameplay innovations, Runner 2 will make your brain glands SWEAT BLOOD!" -@AlexNoisy

Inspired by the BIT.TRIP series originally released on Nintendo platforms, CommanderVideo makes his debut in an all-new re-imagined downloadable game with a ton of features that we hope even CommanderVideo and CommandgirlVideo can handle:

• HD Graphics
• 10+ new abilities for CommanderVideo (and other playable characters)
• Achievements/trophies/leaderboards
• Unlockable costumes
• Difficulty modes and checkpoints
• ...and LOTS more to be revealed later!

Well, Nintendo already pissed Gaijin Games off with their fabulous slider.
Just kidding.

For PSN? Hell yeah.

So.. Does the 3DS version of the complete Saga has this game?

That video was pretty funny. The sequel seems pretty good, too.

I don't have a PS3 or XBOX so i will miss out on this completely. This doesn't make me happy at all. Runner is my favourite in the series and it is meant to be on Wii. That is where the large audience for retro is. It will not receive as many sales on the other platforms and i will miss out.

Excited about the sequel, but the HD part seem rather pointless with how the game graphics are to begin with.
