Bit.Trip Saga/Complete gets US date

By Fred Dutton Published 24 June, 2011

No Euro publisher yet for mad indie gem.

Bit.Trip Saga and Bit.Trip Complete launch for 3DS and Wii respectively on 13th September in the US, publisher Aksys has announced.

However, when Eurogamer checked in to find out when the titles will arrive in the UK, we were told they're yet to secure a European publisher. Sigh.

For the uninitiated, both titles see all six entries in the love it/loathe it Gaijin-developed Bit.Trip download series stuffed onto a cart/disc and put on a store shelf for your convenience.

The Wii version gets a bunch of extra content too, detailed earlier this month.

    If in doubt put it on the PC, you can evidently get a publisher for ANYTHING there.

  • wizlon #3 11 months ago

    WHAT! Hell, I'll publish it, can't be that hard right?

    Dang. Really wanted to play those in 3D and they're great for gaming on the go. Oh well, handhelds are region free, right? Oh.

  • marmaduke #5 11 months ago

    Nope, the 3DS is region locked. You're probably better off getting it on Steam anyway- should be another big sale over the summer

    I have a bad feeling this isn't going to receive a PAL release, which makes me sad. I haven't got any of the Bit Trip games, and I'd love to be able to buy them on a disc along with all the extras they announced. Curse the console manufacturers for not making consoles region free.

    I'm still not quite sure how you play Bit.Trip.Beat without a Wii Remote. I imagine it can be done but I bet it's nowhere near as intuitive as simply rotating your controller.

    @marmaduke My apologies. That "Oh" at the end was way too subtle.

    As far as the Wiimote thing is concerned, Beat was perfectly fine on the iPhone. What's you need is the gyroscope, not the wiimote itself. And yeah, I can see no reason why this wouldn't work with a mouse as well.
