Bit.Trip Saga, Bit.Trip Complete Get Bit.Trippy in September

BEAT. CORE. VOID. RUNNER. FATE. FLUX.

By Patrick Klepek  |  June 24, 2011

Bit.Trip Runner made me want to kill and hug myself at the same time. LOVE AND HATE.
Bit.Trip Runner made me want to kill and hug myself at the same time. LOVE AND HATE.

If you haven't played any of the Bit.Trip games, a solution is en route. Gaijin Games and Aksys Games are bundling all the games in the series--Beat, Core, Void, Runner, Fate, Flux--for both 3DS and Wii. The former's coming under the name Bit.Trip Saga, the latter as Bit.Trip Complete.

Each version's getting bonuses, too. On 3DS, it's...3D. And if there ever was a series whose visuals were perfectly matched for the benefits of 3D, Bit.Trip is it. On Wii, it's a soundtrack sampler, 120 challenges, audio and video galleries with remixes and production art, additional difficulty modes (as if these games weren't hard enough to begin with), online leaderboards and letters from the developers.

Both are dropping on September 13. Bit.Trip Runner in 3D? I'm in a puddle of drool.

I love this series. Even if the only one I've actually completed is Runner.

Can't wait, games are perfect to play on the go.

Now give me Bit.Trip Runner 2!

I'll be getting the 3DS one then, even if the wii edition is overcompensating.

I love Bit.Trip Beat and Runner so much. <3

Glad they're getting re-releases.

Good to see they're getting disc/cartridge releases.  I stayed away because of the Wii's horrible store.

Good on them. I have bought all of them on wii, but I would love to support a great company with a 3DS purchase.

I want the other Bit.Trip games to come to PC. I have Beat and Runner, but none of the others are on PC. Port them over, Gaijin!!!!!

Looks good

The 3DS version doesn't get the extra levels? Lame. 
 
Still, really happy they put a date on this!
