Here's a sentence I was hoping I'd get to one day write: Gaijin Games is compiling all of the Bit.Trip games for release on 3DS. When publisher Aksys Games circulated this image, it became fairly clear that such a collection would eventually be forged, but now we have the official word.
No mention of a price or date quite yet, though. Considering it's all six titles on one cartridge, I'd be more than willing to pay full price for Bit.Trip Saga. For now, we'll just have to imagine what these games will look like in 3D. The wait is going to be painful -- I'm sure of it. Heck, it already is!

YES.
I'll take 20
Take my money. As much as you want. Just give me this now.
Thank You
Don't spend it all in a day, now!
NOW.
Anyways, I've played a few of the games, and heard nothing but praise. And to think the 3DS alone would end up being less then all the games coming out.
And by games coming out I mean games I'm going to buy.
Can't wait to see what bonuses they add.
*kicks stupid PC for being stupid*
Not to mention I'd love to see classic controller support added for Core, Void and Runner, seeing that they don't really rely on any Wiimote specific controls and.. well the classic controller pro is just more comfortable than the wiimote.
This is nice, sure.. But of all the things I'd have liked to see in a bit.trip bundle, I'm not sure 3D was one of them.
Ocarina of Time
Starfox
Paper Mario
Bit.Trip
Consider me sold and take my money, Nintendo.
Font forget Cave Story and Kid Icarus!
...Unless you know, you don't like those...
Then I'd have to kill you.
