Run, run, as fast as you can
Unless you’ve had experience of the BIT.TRIP games previously, you’d be forgiven for thinking Runner3 is a platform game; Commander Video and his pink lady friend counterpart both jump, kick and slide their way through obstacle-laden courses. So on the surface it looks that way and through a certain pick up in...

News Charles Martinet, The Voice Of Mario, Will Be A Playable Character In Runner3
It's-a-me, Charles!
You've almost definitely played as Mario, and you've probably (poorly) imitated his voice on multiple occasions throughout your life, but now you can actually play as the man behind Mario's voice in what must be one of the weirdest, but most wonderful, cameos to ever exist. Runner3 is scheduled to launch on 22nd May, bringing...

Just a few weeks to go
Choice Provisions was responsible for BIT.TRIP, one of the standout game franchises to arise from Nintendo’s original Wii Shop Channel. Favoring musically driven, arcade-like gameplay, the series jumped from genre to genre, but one of its most popular entries was BIT.TRIP RUNNER, which eventually went on to get its own...

About The Game
The rhythm-music gameplay of BIT.TRIP RUNNER and Runner2 is back and better than ever!
The Timbletot is determined to rid the multiverse of all its love and happiness. CommanderVideo, a lover if ever there were one, refuses to let this happen. He’s ready to jump, double-jump, wall-jump, slide-jump, slide, kick, float, drive, fly, and dance his way to victory, all across a medley of thrilling, challenging, and joyous levels!
- Hero quests! Runner3 is filled with oddball characters in need of your help. Lend them a hand and they'll reward you generously!
- Vehicles! Players will encounter wild vehicles that stand no chance of ever being deemed street legal. Eggplant planes! Celery cars! Cans propelled by carbonation! And so much more!
- Branching paths! Every level in Runner3 offers branching paths of varying difficulties. Take the hard path and earn yourself some gems; opt for the normal path and line your pockets with precious gold bars. The choice is yours!
- Retro challenges! A series tradition, every level in Runner3 has an accompanying "retro" level--it’s like two games for the price of one! These levels will also offer a series' first: free movement! Control CommanderVideo in ways you never have before, and earn precious “Gildan” coins in the process!
- Item shop! Players will be able to spend their hard-earned Gildans and gems on costumes, capes, accessories, and more. There are no in-game purchases in Runner3--keep your dang money!
- New playable characters! The Commanders are joined by friends new and old, including Dave of Woah Dave! fame, Unkle Dill, Frank 'N Stein, Awnty Rewty, and more!
- Charles Martinet! Charles Martinet returns for his role of "The Narrator"

It looks like Lord Buckethead finally got his own game.
The runner series is ever popular and number 3 is no different. The learning curve is just right but you will be cursing aplenty!
