Gaijin Games: BIT.TRIP VOID And Blip Festival 2009!
I do love getting mail from these guys. Especially now that I've actually met the crew. As I'm sure most of you are aware by now I've got a little man crush on CommanderVideo. The video game character, not Alex Neuse's XBLA account. That would be weird. Now, as many of you are aware the third installment, BIT.TRIP VOID, demoed this year at PAX. Now, It is finally getting launched to the public. Here are a small list of features:
- Up to 4 Player Local Co-op!
- Mid-Level Checkpoints!
- Epic Boss Battles!
- Nunchuk & Classic Controller Support!
- A Rockin' Chipmusic-Inspired Soundtrack!
- Special Chipmusic Guest Star Nullsleep!
- Synesthetic Music/Art/Gameplay Interaction!
- Hyper-realistic Retro Cutscenes!
Release date time: 10.27.09 Japan, 11.23.09 USA. Why those crazy asians get it first is beyond me. I may just have to drive down to their office and steal a dev kit. Or two.
Also, while not directly relating to game news, Gaijin Games is also sponsoring Blip Festival 2009. This is a big chiptune themed spectacular, running for 3 days featuring some very talented musicians. I, unfortunately, will not be attending this year as New York is quite a trek, but I encourage all you east coasters to lend them your support!
