Released this past March, Bit.Trip Beat was a game that seemed tailor-made for the WiiWare service. Its intentionally lo-fi sound and stylized pixel graphics didn't stretch the Wii's hardware, and the unique, rhythm-shooter style of gameplay made clever (if subtle) use of the system's motion controls. But there's no denying that Bit.Trip Beat was hard--really, really hard. Thankfully, the brief duration and suitably low price point made sure that its vindictive difficulty level didn't wear out its welcome. Now Bit.Trip Core is right around the corner, another charming but thoroughly difficult shooter in this newfound series that will test the limits of your love for old-school gameplay.
Hardcore Gamer: If you love the Bit.Trip games, but haven't yet been able to get their OSTs, then the newest Game Music bundle is for you. $1 or more gets you the OSTs for Bit.Trip Beat, Bit.Trip Runner, Bit.Trip Core, Bit.Trip Fate, Bit.Trip Void, and Bit.Trip Flux.
Set for release later this month, Rising Star Games’ BIT.TRIP compendium will be available for both Wii and Nintendo 3DS. Electronic Theatre recently had the opportunity to get hands-on with the former, BIT.TRIP Complete, and while it doesn’t promise to add anything new to the series, delivering the short bursts of adrenaline rush gameplay for which BIT.TRIP is famous in one all-encompassing package should be enough to grab the attention of any innovation-hungry Wii gamer.
Acclaimed videogames publisher Rising Star Games has today announced the signing of two new Gaijin Games titles, BIT.TRIP COMPLETE and BIT.TRIP SAGA. Both BIT.TRIP COMPLETE and BIT.TRIP SAGA offer an amazing collection of six of the very best celebrated indie BIT.TRIP videogames, and will be available to buy in Q1, 2012, on Wii and Nintendo 3DS respectively.
