TGH writes: "Retro" video games are just about on the verge of becoming a marketing tool, instead of an artistic choice, where games are crafted to sell specifically to certain audience's tastes, instead of developers making interesting games. Fortunately, we aren't there just yet, as 8-bit graphics and chiptunes are still a hard sell to a lot of gamers out there. However, the relatively new "Bit.Trip" franchise that just released its third game this year that should be at the forefront of changing gamers' minds about retro style. The most recent release "Bit.Trip Void" continues to proves what many old school gamers already knew; that you don't need to have realistic gameplay to be fun."
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.
