I cannot express how happy this makes me, you guys. If you haven't played any of Gaijin Games' Bit.Trip games on WiiWare--ARGH. But I can't really blame you. Even as someone who regularly boots up their Wii to play WiiWare games (they exist!), it takes some effort to do so. That said, the Bit.Trip games are phenomenal pixel adventures that treat apply the right amount of nostalgia to modern mechanics.

Aksys Games, Gaijin Games' publisher-in-crime for the Bit.Trip games, announced this afternoon the companies are collecting all six of the Bit.Trip games--Beat, Core, Void, Runner, Flux, Fate--onto a single 3DS cart called Bit.Trip Saga. 

Yep, 3DS, meaning those beautiful retro graphics are also grabbing a new dimension.

I WANT THIS CART RIGHT NOW. 

Right, sorry. Unfortunately, I don't know when any of us will be playing Bit.Trip Saga, as Aksys Games did not attach a release date to this extradimensional compilation, but one (mememe) hopes it's not far off.

#6 Posted by Hailinel (18077 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

Bit.Trip in 3D?!

I am there.

#7 Posted by Portis (1254 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

First 3DS game I'm interested in playing.

#8 Posted by Danda (75 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

That's a good deal!

#9 Posted by Enigma777 (5970 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

This is a slight against the train! I will not stand for this! How dare you snatch away one of the biggest WiiWare exclusives and give it to the non-downloadable game crowd. People will die for this! Chooo Chooo!

#10 Posted by RecSpec (3057 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

Hopefully this comes out soon.

#11 Posted by Hot_Karl (3309 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

and it looks like we finally have a game that makes me want to buy a 3ds. 

#12 Posted by SolidOcelot (267 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

ive played beat and flux and i cant wait for this collection, also excited to dust off the ol'3DS 

#13 Posted by erinfizz (1039 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

Oh man. Yeah. I will get this just as soon as it's available. :)

#14 Posted by Bloodgraiv3 (2679 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago


Fuck yes, Day one.

 

#15 Posted by Trebz (487 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

I am going to devour this. 

#16 Posted by BRG9000 (111 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

Whoa. I need a 3DS.

#17 Posted by Xpgamer7 (2259 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

MUST BUY NOW.

#18 Posted by virtorio (235 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

Finally a decent use for 3D

#19 Posted by Skald (4366 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

Dudes, Bit.Trip is awesome.


Especially Runner.
#20 Posted by RJPelonia (753 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

Uh oh. I think this means I have to buy a 3DS, you guys.

#21 Posted by steelknight2000 (379 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

How can anyone NOT be aware of a Nintendo downloadable release? It's impossible.

#22 Posted by l3reak (118 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

Well I already feel like my 3DS purchase was justified. Looks like I'll actually be buying a game!

This was way funnier coming from Hitlerchu than it would have been otherwise.
#24 Posted by 49th (1782 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

In 3D!? My eyes will probably explode.

As someone who boards the NintenDownload X-Press regularly, I do not approve of digital games making the transition to non-digital media. I know Conductor Gerstmann would not. 

#26 Posted by Jolt92 (1479 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES

#27 Posted by Godzilla_Sushi (1023 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

What a great idea....


Perhaps the train will chug through this announcement as well!
#28 Posted by ImmortalSaiyan (4186 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

I want this! I guess I have to wait like 2 years.
#29 Posted by C_Rakestraw (747 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

I've now found a reason to buy a 3DS. I need to get some cash ASAP so I can buy this on day one!

Also, as far as a release date goes, I read somewhere that Askys games said its slated for a summer release.

#30 Posted by Yzzerdd (521 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

" comes to a platform you might want to play them on."

Oh......
#31 Posted by Dilenger93 (42 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

Its kinda of funny that atm this makes me want a 3ds more than zelda or starfox; still not more than mario though ;)

#32 Posted by Gerhabio (1932 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

This actually sounds like a good idea to me.

#33 Posted by davedave24 (19 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

Finally. A game for my 3DS


#36 Edited by NegativeCero (2493 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

Cool. Don't have a Wii, but I'll probably end up with a 3DS at some point. Hopefully I won't end up breaking it immediately though because the one thing I know those games are is hard.

#37 Posted by YukoAsho (1523 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

Up next - Super Meat Boy 3D.

#38 Posted by Burn1n9m4n (253 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

And so completes the apotheosis of Commander Video.

QFT. Still need some more convincing before I consider buying a 3DS though.

A hand-drawn 'Secret of Mana 3D' remake maybe.
#40 Posted by MustachedPagoda (47 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

Part of me believes that the 3DS's analog stick was actually created for this game

#41 Posted by Ozone (100 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

I want this. I want this bad.

#42 Posted by moelarrycurly (666 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

Best thing I've heard all day.

#43 Posted by crithon (353 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

I am now MORE interested in the 3DS then before. That's a great collection

#44 Posted by DrRandle (1186 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

#45 Posted by MrKlorox (11079 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

Cool, but also sigh inducing. I hate carts.

#46 Posted by beard_of_zeus (1321 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

Awesome! Will totally pick this up!

#47 Posted by LordAndrew (13812 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

Bit.Trip Beat was fun. I don't have a Wii, so most of the series is completely unavailable to me. I guess I'm getting this!

#48 Posted by JJWeatherman (13870 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

The Bit.Trip games in 3D would blow my mind.


Great games.
#49 Posted by Scrawnto (1960 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

Oh shit! I am so getting this. I've only played Bit.Trip Beat.


Coincidentally, the founder of Gaijin Games, Alex Neuse, was a guest critic for my game design class today, giving us some advice for our senior projects. He seemed like a cool dude. He also used "choice" as an adjective a lot.
#50 Posted by MEATBALL (1955 posts) - 2 years, 21 days ago

I only ever bought Runner, but damn that game was awesome (and infuriating). Super pumped that the games are making their way to the 3DS - on a cart, no less.
