Retro_Link Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 http://www.n-europe.com/news.php?nid=15343 News: BIT.TRIP Compilation Headed for 3DS Aksys Games announces it is to release a compilation of Gaijin's superb BIT.TRIP series for 3DS... Fans of the psychedelic WiiWare gem BIT.TRIP may be inclined to pry themselves away from any romantic regality today, as Aksys Games have announced they are to release a compilation of the entire series on 3DS. BIT.TRIP SAGA, will feature fully 3D-fied versions of every one of Gaijin Games' creations, which are: •BIT.TRIP BEAT •BIT.TRIP CORE •BIT.TRIP VOID •BIT.TRIP RUNNER •BIT.TRIP FATE •BIT.TRIP FLUX A release of BIT.TRIP SAGA is expected, in North America at least, some time in autumn 2011. I imagine we'll see a PAL version. The series was made for 3D! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adthegreat Posted April 29, 2011 Share Posted April 29, 2011 Never played any of these games, but I've heard only good things about them. I'm looking forward to more info Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drahkon Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 I purchased Bit.Trip Beat off steam a couple of days ago. It's fun. Might wait for this instead of buying other games of the saga. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonno394 Posted June 26, 2011 Share Posted June 26, 2011 Oooooooh. One of the only non-Nintendo games coming out before christmas that I'm actually interested in. Gaijin have confirmed recently it will come to Europe, they just aren't sure when =[ I was worried we might not get this. http://twitter.com/#!/GaijinGames/status/82873026609291264 @FreakingWesley It'll come to EU. We're not sure of the release date yet, but it'll make it overseas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Retro_Link Posted September 26, 2011 Author Share Posted September 26, 2011 (edited) IGN Review - 8.0 http://uk.ds.ign.com/articles/119/1196310p1.html Closing CommentsThe developers really should have included the new content they created for the Wii version of this collection, but luckily it has enough 3DS-specific pros to make up for this exclusion. With addictive gameplay, gorgeous and creative use of 3D, and some amazing new control options, portable gaming enthusiasts have no reason to pass this title up. And even though the $40 price tag looks high at first glance, it actually costs about the same as buying these titles individually on WiiWare (they range from $6 to $8 each on the Wii Shop Channel).

Ganepark32 Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 Wish they'd give a release date for this over here as I'd rather like to pick it up and play the Bit.Trip games I missed out on (which is everything other than Beat). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cvl Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I'd buy it if it was available as DLC on the eshop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rummy Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 I'd buy it if it was available as DLC on the eshop. Me too, but it's probably too big or something silly. Not sure if Nintendo still have ridiculous limits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted January 6, 2012 Share Posted January 6, 2012 Was browsing Amazon, Zavvi and ShopTo earlier, and noticed they all had this game listed for release on February 17th. Fingers crossed that date will stick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

f00had Posted January 17, 2012 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I've heard they removed motion controls in this game so it doesn't affect the 3D which kinda ruins Bit.Trip Beat (my favourite one) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 Was browsing Amazon, Zavvi and ShopTo earlier, and noticed they all had this game listed for release on February 17th. Fingers crossed that date will stick. I was wrong. It was going to be March 23rd, but they've moved it forward to March the 16th now. I'm suprised the 3DS version is so expensive, when compared to the Wii package, but I'm guessing this could be a rare game someday, plus these games are perfect for handheld gaming, so I shall be keeping my pre-order!

Ike Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Was debating on which version to get but the Wii version is ?18 on Amazon so I went with that one verses ?30+ for the 3DS version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 The price difference is ridiculous. But I'm with welsh, think they'll be perfect handheld games so I'll get it on that, but might wait for a price reduction. Is there online leader boards?

-Dem0- Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Bit. Trip SAGA doesn't have online leader boards. but COMPLETE does. for all the comparisons/differences between SAGA & COMPLETE Here's Nintendolife's Article: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/2011/09/feature_bittrip_saga_vs_bittrip_complete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazzybee Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Why do they do such retarded things like this? Why NOT have online leader boards? Why NOT have those extra challenges? It's ludicrous. You're charging more for the 3DS version, you're offering less, just irritating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Got my copy from ShopTo this morning. Read some reviews that said the frame rate is constantly poor, but I've played quite a few games now, and only experienced a little lag in a Bit Trip Runner stage when there was a lot happening on screen. It's a great little collection, but the lack of online leaderboards is a real shame, especially as they would work better on 3DS when it came to comparing scores with others from your friend roster. Still, I highly recommened this if you haven't played the Bit Trip games before, or fancy having them for playing on the 'go' or completing the set if you've already own 1 or 2 titles on WiiWare like myself. Boy, Bit Trip Core is tough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted March 15, 2012 Share Posted March 15, 2012 Amazon shipped mine today, but I noticed the lowered the price to £14.99 (from £17.99)! Not that bothered but Amazon are usually good at charging you the lowest price unless they refund me in a couple of days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolness Bears Posted March 16, 2012 Share Posted March 16, 2012 I'm guessing £14.99 one is Wii and £36 is 3DS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welsh_gamer Posted March 24, 2012 Share Posted March 24, 2012 Spent over 10 hours with this game since last Thursday. It's so addictive! Had a quick go on the WiiWare version of Beat the other day, and found twisting the remote to control the paddle to be a right pain, compared to using the more accurate stylus here. I wanna get the 3DS version but £36 on amazon is a piss take! It's dropped to £22.97 now. I asked Rising Star games, why the 3DS version was much more expensive than the Wii version, but all I got back was "We' can't go into pricing decisions I'm afraid".
