Up first are Wii U and Steam (Windows, Mac, and Linux), with those launches happening today, followed by Xbox Live Arcade on February 27.<\/p> <p>Unfortunately, <em><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/runner2-still-very-much-the-bit-trip-you-know-and-love-243903.phtml\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Runner2<\/a> <\/em>won&#8217;t make it to PlayStation Network until March 5 at the earliest, and PS Vita and iOS in the summer. Last I was actively following the game, the art style hadn&#8217;t fully materialized, and Jonathan Holmes <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/jbsgame.com\/bit-trip-runner2-encourages-you-to-f-ck-the-past-232607.phtml\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">was talking about it<\/a> using words that appeared to be written in English, but felt foreign and nonsensical.

It still feels unusual to see the series on non-Nintendo platforms, even all these years later.
