Watch this exclusive Bit.Trip: Beat trailer

by David Hinkle { Jan 30th 2009 at 3:24PM }

No, we're serious. You don't know what unspeakable acts we had to perform to secure this exclusive trailer for the Gaijin-developed, Aksys-published Bit.Trip: Beat. If you don't watch it, we're going to throw out this BFF bracelet you made us and show up at your house demanding those mix tapes back. You know, the ones that had all of those Air Supply and Bryan Adams tracks on them. So, watch the 4-bit goodness in the video above and stock up on some Wii Points. You're going to want to check out this quirky rhythm game when it releases.

That looks like a boob under red light. Will buy.

Duke @ Jan 30th 2009 3:32PM

You aren't going to scratch out where I signed your yearbook are you? I would be crushed!

Will @ Jan 30th 2009 4:35PM

Not only that but he'll draw a penis on your picture in it.

David Hinkle @ Jan 30th 2009 9:39PM

It wasn't even a signature so much as it was "Bel Biv Devoe" with hearts all around it.

maduin @ Jan 30th 2009 3:35PM

"I am only a man!"

This game is going to cause some nightmares.

How did they ever get Satan to take time out of his busy schedule to do the voice-over for that part?

KiraXD @ Jan 30th 2009 3:35PM

i will buy a wii.... just for this game...... (love these trippy ass games!)

Shagittarius @ Jan 30th 2009 3:37PM

A 2600 conversion should be coming soon.

SirFishouse @ Jan 30th 2009 11:19PM

I am totally with you on that. I've seen no reason to buy a Wii other than for tatsunoko vs capcom. This game looks like the bomb!

Go1denchi1d @ Jan 30th 2009 3:38PM

This seems like I'll get a seizure after I play it. I want in!!!

ZaxCG2 @ Jan 31st 2009 12:18AM

2 words. Space Giraffe.

rockintom @ Jan 31st 2009 10:10AM

Might as well just watch a winamp visualizer. Space Giraffe sucked.

Alien Lord @ Jan 30th 2009 3:43PM

I think I'll pass this one by, seems to simplistic for me.

Roto13 @ Jan 30th 2009 3:45PM

Actually, that trailer made me feel less excited for this game than I was before. :P I might pick it up if it's like 500 points. (I hear there are only three levels, so that's very possible.)

I've been avoiding the info basically being told by Fernando 20+ times how much this was going to roxxorz my soxxorz but I have to say, THIS?!? I don't know. Maybe if the only competition in this genre was still just Vib Ribbon, meybe. But we have Space Invaders Xtreme, Audiosurf, Beats, Rez, Lumines, etc... this just looks lazy.

SunKing @ Jan 30th 2009 3:46PM

Looks pretty hard and I'm not all that bothered about the pong style gameplay. I have to admit though that I was tapping along to the beats.

Ryan @ Jan 30th 2009 3:50PM

Your head a-splode!

DiddlyKong @ Jan 30th 2009 3:55PM

Hell yea! That trailer just sold me.
Peace.

Rhamsey @ Jan 30th 2009 3:58PM

holy crap, just watching this makes me feel like im going to have a seizure.

captainlol @ Jan 30th 2009 3:59PM

That's probably the only trailer I've ever seen that made me excited to play the game

psyborg @ Jan 30th 2009 4:01PM

Totally rad.

rbtroj @ Jan 30th 2009 4:19PM

Pfft! We had hacked Pong consoles in the mid-70s that did all this (sans 3D backdrop) and more. Yawn.

Suck it, Generation Z!!!!!

grapenutsrobot @ Jan 31st 2009 3:58PM

Congrats on missing the point entirely.

Scotty @ Jan 30th 2009 4:19PM

I'm extremely intrigued by this. I'm looking forward to it.

Josh @ Jan 30th 2009 4:21PM

I'll keep an eye on this.

Though the fact that the developers gave precedence to Joystiq instantly makes them awesome in my book.

Josh @ Jan 30th 2009 4:22PM

And no, you can't read it for yourself, but you can certainly ask me about it.

David Hinkle @ Jan 30th 2009 9:41PM

Can I check itout at my local library at least?

Josh @ Jan 31st 2009 12:44PM

NO! That would constitute "reading it for yourself", so NO, NO, NO, NO, NO!

*ASK* ME ABOUT IT; DON'T TRY TO READ IT YOURSELF! IT'S FUTILE TO TRY TO READ IT YOURSELF! DO YOU UNDERSTAND?!

@tomic @ Jan 30th 2009 4:22PM

This trailer certainly paints the game in a more positive light than in the last. The game actually looks quite challenging here as opposed to the slow, simplistic gameplay shown in the last trailer. They seem to be more creative with the visuals here too.

Color me interested.

ZombiePikmin @ Jan 30th 2009 4:24PM

. . . .Neat

milan @ Jan 30th 2009 4:30PM

Awesome, we need more games in the vein of Frequency, Amplitude, and even Synaesthete (ie: the genre of musical electro-color). I'm excited!

And also funny to see the closer Joystiq affiliation tying in already...
Hi David!

David Hinkle @ Jan 30th 2009 9:41PM

*waves*

zombienutz @ Jan 30th 2009 5:01PM

Ok. I am hooked. I have never downloading anything for my Wii, and have not turned it on in awhile, but I will pick this up.

David Hinkle @ Jan 30th 2009 9:42PM

Might I suggest World of Goo?

zombienutz @ Jan 30th 2009 9:50PM

People keep telling me to pick that up. I was going to buy it for my PC, but I here it is better for the Wii.

Naturestee @ Jan 30th 2009 7:35PM

I'm really spacey and ill with a fever and that totally hypnotized me. Whoa. I really like the WiiWare tetris+techno music game, I forget the name, and this looks like it'll be fun too. I like rhythm games that don't involve me pretending to play a plastic instrument.
