Bit.Trip CORE is the second in a six-part series of games devoted to exploding your brain. Through a mix of Atari-era aesthetics, chip-tune music, and rhythm-based gameplay that will have you crying for mercy, Gaijin Games has created the best new franchise on the WiiWare service. The first game, BEAT, updated the classic Pong mechanic of positioning a paddle in order to repel incoming balls, here called “beats.” Each subsequent hit would add a tone to the increasingly complex music. You controlled the paddle by tilting your Wii-mote forward and backward. It was a thrilling new type of retro 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.
