Runner 2 Good Friends Character Pack DLC Dashes Onto Wii U on 15th August

So... Will the game finally be released on the Australian Wii U eShop then? It was rated in April so I don't understand how we still don't have the game...

Is there any new levels on the way?

Very nice! Now if those individual games got released on eshop as well, or better still: bundled and boxed on a Wii U disc! My Bit.trip Wii disc could use some best friends' company. I'll get the characters nonetheless though.

I would of have loved some new levels. While I recently finished Runner 2, I didn't even use the whole roster of current characters!

Okay, but what's the point when they all play the same?

I will definitely buy it when it comes to the UK!

Charles Martinet as a Powerpuff Girls-esque narrator. My day has been made.

Seriously though, isn't Quote the same guy from Cave Story? [does some research] Yes, yes he is. My body is ready.

Dont think i will get this. I'd prefer new levels

Do they all play the same?

Is this purely cosmetic or not?

It's a joke if it's just new characters and not new levels but that is what it seems in the article. Passed the game completely but stuck with the default character since they all play the same.

@Hyperstar96: How can I have more fun if they all play the same?

My personal opinion: To pay for such a thing is ridiculous...

For those who think that the new characters are not worth it, it actually is especially if you know where the characters came from. I haven't heard about Machinarium and Physchonauts before this DLC, and they don't look that interesting, but I like how Josef's character is like. They all look different and move differently as you play the level. When I played it on the PC, I felt like I was playing the level differently because of the different characters. It's more likely that you'd waste your money if you never played any of the games, but if you played Spelunker from the NES or Virtual Console or at least heard of it, then you have an excuse to use Spelunky. Don't waste your money if you don't want to and you already 100% the games in Ultra Hard Mode. However, if you still have more to do, then these characters will help you on the way.

6 for 3 dollars? That's a good deal! Ill probably pick it up!

@Obito_Tennyson Spelunky Guy is actually from Spelunky, the XBLA/PC game, not the NES game Spelunker.

@Tadness I know that. That's why I said "If you know Spelunker, then you have an excuse to use Spelunky." They are too similar to each other.

Needs more Lemeza.
(someone hack a green pallette swap of the spelunky guy, pronto!)

At 3 Dollar/Euro I might download it someday! I first have to buy a Wii u and download Runner 2 though!

@Hyperstar96: This is sad, because of people like you developers can continue to ask a (relative high) price for something that is purely a visual thing...=(

@Hyperstar96: I didn't say it is bad, but sad, because if nobody would buy such things, the developers would have to put more effort in something that costs money...

@ "I bet alternate colors in Smash Bros. are bad too, right?"

Oh, I didn't know I have to pay for that alternate colors in SSB...

@Hyperstar96: "Effort doesn't always equal quality.":

No, but it shows me that the developers put (significant) work into something and that he could have deserved it to be paid.

@ "They do, however, cost the programmers and artists time and resources that could be used to make something that isn't "purely visual." According to your logic, they shouldn't exist at all."

No, according to my logic, "purely visual" DLC (where you have to pay for) shouldn't exist at all...

Spelunky Guy!
