This week, we got some exclusive time with the developers of the Bit.Trip series. It was awesome. I can't tell you everything they shared with us, but I'll do my best to tell you what I can, starting with this bombshell.
Bit.Trip BEAT is coming to iPhone/iPad courtesy of Namco-Bandai. New features will be added. I can't give you all the details, but rest assured, it shall be glorious.
Also, Alex Neuse, CEO of Bit.Trip developer Gaijin Games, is an amazing conversationalist. Seriously, your mind will be blown by the stuff he says in the video after the jump. It's a work of brilliance.
And no, I'm not drunk. That was all an act. I grew up on The Andy Griffith Show, and Otis has always been one of my all time acting-heroes. I tried to put in the intoxicated performance of a lifetime here, and I think I nailed it.

Antwhan, would you say that Gaijin Games is so PRINGLES? That Jon is a CHIP off the old block, and that he gets all the booth babes because he's such a SPUD? That the pacing of this interview is CRISP? Don't feel SALTY that the clip is so short, just RUSSET it and watch again.
I'm really glad to see that there are such awesome people making games. Oh, and that Bit.Trip BEAT is coming to the iPhone, which is pretty awesome too.

I wish i could think up more chip puns but that's all i could FRY up. O wait...
I need to stop.
Also, Jonathan, you are the greatest.
The game's looking good. I've only played the demos on the Wii but loved it. I may have to force my sister to get this for her iPhone.
Also, Char made me hungry for chips.
Anybody else freaked out by that guy sitting on the bed in the background?
