Not playing Modern Warfare 2? Well then, chances are high that you'd like Bit.Trip Beat. The game is pretty much the anti-Call of Duty, and it's one of my all time favorites. If you haven't played it yet, this update may be the perfect excuse.
I'm not sure of everything this update does, but the one thing I know for sure is that you no longer have to get a high score in a level to save your progress. That was one of the more controversial things about the original version of the game, and to be honest, I'm sort of sad to see it go. Good thing I have two Wii's now (don't ask why) so if I want to play the original Bit.Trip Beat, I can just boot up on the back up.
It's also rumored that this update makes the game easier overall, which I also have mixed feelings about. I suppose that if you are one of the many who are holding off on buying Bit.Trip Core and Bit.Trip Void until they've beaten the first game, then this patch may help get you over the hump.

Or, the new one I should say, since my old Wii bricked about 3 months ago...
Void, which won't be released until late November, looks to be a little more user-friendly. And freaking awesome, too.
See...
I'm going to try a little bit longer to beat Descent.
But I'll probably get the update if I don't make too much progress...
