Bit.Trip Runner is a platformer, but it’s not as predictable as you might imagine.

Speaking to Forbes, Fils-Aime commented:

“When the software developer comes forward with an idea that can’t be executed on the current platform, that’s when we start thinking seriously about the next system. We’re not there yet, from a Wii perspective.”
