Bit.Trip comes to the 3DS with Bit.Trip Saga photo

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!

*Prepare for the BIT.TRIP SAGA in 3D!*

TORRANCE (ALTERNATE REALITY), Calif. – April 28, 2011 – Aksys
Games, a publisher of interactive entertainment software, is pleased

And now I'm kinda glad I hadn't bought any yet (though I wanted to). Played a couple of the demos and really liked what I saw. Just might have to pick this up.

I want this.

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.

Alright, this sounds great! I don't own a Wii and so never played any Bit.Trip games, but I hear nothing but good stuff about these games. When I finally get a 3DS, I'm making sure to grab this.

Hmm. I hope it gets broken into parts for the eShop. I didn't really like the demos for Flux nor Core, and I don't want to buy stuff on the Wii Shop Channel.

I've never played a single game, but I have heard NOTHING but AMAZING things about these games, so this will definitely be a buy for me.

I just hope they port Lilt Line for the 3DS eShop. It'd be a perfect match for the gyro controls. Also: with good hedaphones on, the dubstep would be amazing. Make it happen, Gaijin! Please. : )

I was kind of wishing they would do this with the Wii. I really don't like the way Nintendo structured their online store, the idea that if my system died I'd have to buy all my downloads again never set well with me (Even if Nintendo consoles have proven to be nigh indestructible). If I was forced to re-purchase the bit.trip series I'd like to be able to obtain it in a more permanent, portable form (see: a DVD).

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.

@ ANeM- A Bit.Trip collection for Wii might happen. I'll let you know if I hear anything.

Weird... they mention fate in the overall summary, but they didn't give a summary for the game itself with the others.

How would the gyro sensor for Beat/Flux work when you can't tilt your 3DS without losing the 3D effect? Unless you have to move it like the augmented reality games.

awesome, I held out on buying them on WiiWare cause I thought their would be a collection, and it's in 3D.

@Duster: You can tilt the system up and down pretty far without losing the 3D effect. Left and right, not so much.

Nice, this sounds like a 3DS game to really look forward to. Now I'm kinda glad I only bought one of them as it'll totally justify me buying this when it's released.

I should be the target audience for this thing, but the punishment used and memorization required in these games just gives me heartburn.
