BIT.TRIP BEAT

Publisher: Aksys Games (US, EU), Arc System Works (Japan)

Platform: Nintendo WiiWare

Release Date: March 16, 2009

BIT.TRIP BEAT brings retro action back as you use the Wii Remote controller’s motion sensor to bounce beats in this rhythm game. Retro visuals, classic game play, four-player multiplayer, and an 8-bit soundtrack will get you in the zone and rock your world. Pay attention, though! Like most classic games, the challenges are mighty. If you can stay cool as the difficulty increases, you’ll discover the beginnings of the BIT.TRIP saga…

BIT.TRIP CORE

Publisher: Aksys Games (US, EU), Arc System Works (Japan)

Platform: Nintendo WiiWare

Release Date: Summer 2009

BIT.TRIP CORE adds up to an exciting action/rhythm game that’s best played while zoning out on the tunes and letting the visuals swallow you whole.  The experience is inspired by games from the 80s, only with a modern twist.  The gameplay is entirely new to the series, leaving the single-axis controls of BIT.TRIP BEAT behind in favor of the ability to control two axes.

BIT.TRIP VOID

Publisher: Aksys Games (US, EU), Arc System Works (Japan)

Platform: Nintendo WiiWare

Release Date: Fall 2009

BIT.TRIP VOID is a synesthetic exploration of rhythm and music as they pertain to our everyday lives and moods.  In a control scheme brand new to the series, yet wholly familiar to gamers, the player is given complete freedom to move about the screen wherever they desire, interacting with the music in brand new ways.  The classic gameplay aesthetic remains, as color—and the absence of color—are explored to the fullest.
