Topic: Bit.Trip Saga - Possible Lag in Download/eShop version?

Okay thanks. I thought COMPLETE was only the name of a bundle on Steam, I didn't see that it was also for the Wii. I'll probably end up getting that then. I love what I've played of the BIT.TRIP games, and I have Runner 2, so I wanted to try out the rest.

For $5, this game is still a bargain. Despite all the lag, it's still the most played copy of Bit.Trip I own.

Yeah, it does have lag, but it's absolutely worth $5, especially if you've never played the Wii versions. I bought it on the eShop when it went on sale for $10 and don't regret that purchase.

I don't understand why everyone has lag? What's causing the lag for all of you? I played the game before and after I upgraded my 4GB SDHC card to a 32GB one. No lag with either one. I turn the sound all the way up, no lag. Unless you guys have the Brightness all the way up, the wireless also on, AND the 3D on as well, then there should be no way that there's lag. It works absolutely perfect for me. You don't need the Wireless on, neither do you need the 3D, and the brightness is only useful when you're in a really bright room and you can't see the 3DS. Trust me, I am on Zone 2 and I experienced no lag. It plays smoother than Sips' butt.

Zone 3 is where it starts, man.

I don't play with 3D on in that game. It's more of a distraction anyway.

Feel free to comment on my skill. I usually don't put much effort on games that fail to keep me interested.

@Obito_Tennyson: as @Klimbatize has explained, the lag is farther into the game — it's awful from the level 3 stages in RUNNER, and Control in CORE is absolutely unplayable. I even had the music cut out entirely a couple times in Control the last time I tried it, there were bad, bad desyncing problems, and at no time was i attempting to play with the 3D on. I also keep brightness at around medium level on my 3DS to help save battery, so no, i didn't have that up all the way as you suggest, nor did I bother having the wireless on (again, to save battery while playing my 3DS at work). I believe I had the original 2gb SD card in at the time, but why that would be a factor while playing a cartridge is beyond me (and if it is, shame on them still because no other cartridge I've put into my 3DS has lagged like this, sorry).

If you truly landed yourself a copy of SAGA in some way, shape, or form that does not lag at all, I congratulate you on having had the perfect SAGA experience the rest of us can only dream of at this point in time. Your experience does not negate ours, however, and furthermore i suspect you haven't had the chance to reach the laggy parts we're complaining about anyway. Congratulations on your smooth-butt experience (so far?).

Drat. I read several reviews and didn't know about lag. Damn shame about CORE and RUNNER.
Guess I should have picked up COMPLETE.

btw, I beat Runner tonight on this laggy digital download version. Perfected every level except 3-2 and 3-11. :3
