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...

News Runner3 Sprints Onto The Nintendo Switch This May
Dauntless dashing
We really loved the amazingly titled BIT.TRIP Presents: Runner 2 Future Legend of Rhythm Alien when it landed on the Wii U eShop back in 2013, so we're really looking forward to getting our mitts on Runner3 when it races to the Switch eShop on 22nd May. Developed by the lovely folks over at Choice...

The last leg of the race
Runner3 is one of the higher profile indie games on the horizon for the Switch, continuing the rhythm-platformer gameplay in what seems like an even more outlandish adventure than the last.

It's a shame we have a little while to wait for this one, but it'll be...

News Choice Provisions Got Runner3 Running on Switch in Just One Day
"It's been smooth sailing ever since!"
Much noise has been made over the past couple months about how the Nintendo Switch is a significantly more developer friendly console than the Wii U or 3DS. It's a bit more powerful, the architecture is more PC friendly, and there's support for many widely used engines like Unreal. We already saw an example of...

"Nintendo platforms have always been CommanderVideo's home"
When Runner3 was announced as a Nintendo Switch exclusive this writer's eyebrows went up a fair amount - it's not particularly common for download games to be exclusive nowadays, much less so from studios with a track record of multiple cross-platform successes. Yet here we are - it's an...
