Quick Look: Bit.Trip Saga

@brotherstereo said:

Wow! I love watching the 'Dead Island' trailer every single time I watch one of your videos on Giantbomb.com, oh wait...no I don't.

That is unfortunately starting to drive me mad, as well, and it's been, like, a day. I just wish, if there are commercials, they could at least be different ones. Not to mention, the commercial seems to be louder than the actual video; so, I have to turn down my audio at the beginning and then turn it back up. Very odd for GiantBomb.

Anyway, that aside, I really enjoy the Bit.Trip Saga as kind of simple throwback fun. Glad to see it get some attention. :)

Nyan cat?

Commander Video came first.

I cringed.

He did too.

Anyone else think of nyan cat after seeing the thumbnail?

@NobodyHIFI: Looks like you had the same problem i did, the video changed while you where making the post. Still it made me laugh.

Why is this a game that people would pay for? I guess it totally misses me.

I like this presentation for 3DS stuff! Into it.

Giant Bomb...I love your site in general, but when a new video would hit I always went to your site for videos so I wouldn't have to deal with annoying before video ads. For some reason I thought that this would never happen here, but I guess there is no refuge anymore. And it's even worse that it's the same ad every-time.

Well... at least your video player is still better than most sites. It's a shame that the 3D is lacking with this one. I'll probably pick it up when the price drops.

Because it's fun? Why is that hard to figure out?

@durden77: If you like the site enough, I'd recommend getting membership to support the guys (oh, and there's no ads...)

FYI, I didn't mention this in the Quick Look, but if you dig the soundtracks and not the games, you can buy the (excellent) soundtracks here: http://www.cdbaby.com/Artist/GaijinGames

isnt that menu noise the same as Ocarina of times menu noises?

Damn your stupid-ass advertisements, Giant Bomb.

You don't have to JUMP onto the purple spring pad in Runner! Don't be crazy.

Maybe the capture unit didn't pick it up, but I literally never noticed a frame rate drop during the entire Quick Look, despite Ryan and Patrick spending like a third of the time talking about frame rate drops.

The only thing I noticed was one part in Runner where the game seemed to just skip a bunch of frames for like half a second because Patrick suddenly turned on the 3D mid-level, which you would have no reason to do unless you were demoing the game for thousands of people on the internet.

I can't imagine paying anything for this kind of experience I prefer Picross

All those psychedelic colors make my head hurt LOL

Hey, look. An on-rail side-scrolling shooter. =D

Uhh you don't have to jump onto a spring, you just have to press up when you go over it to jump, right? Or is it just me?
