Those cheeky fellows over at Gaijin Games have just revealed a character from the upcoming Runner 2: Future Legend of Rhythm Alien, cross-platform sequel to popular Wii and Steam game, Bit. Trip Runner, in which you play as Commander Video as he...well...runs...a lot.

The following details were divulged at the official blog page for the game:

WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT FAMOUS GERMAN DISCO STARS FROM THE 1970's?

Not much, but we did make some crap up:

1. The Germans had one and only one disco star durning the duration of the disco movement.

2. This disco star was from HAMBURG Germany.

3. His name was Whetfahrt Cheesebörger.

4. After the fall of disco in the early 80s, Whetfahrt took a job in a greasy spoon as their mascot: W.F. Cheeseburger.

5. This greasy spoon was called ... BURGER MOUTH!

The original Runner was fantastic. Conceptually, it sounds like a child's acid trip (see: Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles), but the game play is ridiculously addictive. In addition, you create the background music with your moves. Each object type in your path has a particular sound, and every time you jump, slide or otherwise maneuver around it, the sound is played in time with the main beat. This new iteration looks as great as the original with beefed up graphics, though there was some charm to the pixelation of the original.

I very rarely buy first day, but this would make the cut for me.

I've loved all the bit.trip games I've played on the Wii, although the original bit.trip runner is still my fave - so I'm well looking forward to this!

Sorry if someone already said this, I didn't have time to read all the comments. It looks like that indie game, The Impossible Game, where you're a block jumping at precise times to avoid running into obstacles. But I don't know what came first. Looks funny and cute, though. =]

I'm disappointed this wasn't a joke. A shitty joke, but at least a joke.
