WiiWare is finally getting something worth mentioning. The Bit.Trip collection is a series of five rhythm-based games that meld both old and new game design philosophies with the mystical power of chiptunes, a fact which has probably either instantly gained or lost your interest. The first to be released is Bit.Trip: Beat, which I have decided can best be described as "Pong Fights Techno". Perhaps a video is in order:
As you can see, the idea is that you use your cute little paddle there to deflect oncoming debris and when you do it produces primitive noises in a manner that some may confuse with a popular medium known as "music". The better you do, the more difficult it becomes until you either beat the level or suffer an epileptic seizure. Boss battles of some sort have also been promised.
Joystiq claims to have done some horrible, nasty, morally reprehensible things to get this trailer so please do watch it, otherwise that rape shower is going to be for nothing. You might see Bit.Trip: Beat sometime this February, but there has not yet been an official release date. Looks like fun.
