Gaijin Games Tease Fifth Game in BIT.TRIP Series
Posted by Patrick Elliot
Facebook post outs new instalment...and Wii Zapper support?
Gaijin Games, the team responsible for creating the retro-styled BIT.TRIP series on WiiWare, is spilling the bits on its latest game. Recent updates on its official facebook page have been dropping cryptic clues as to what is coming next in the series, partially revealing the title of the game as "BIT.TRIP F_ _ _" and hinting that it may be a shooter.
Many readers have started referring to the game as BIT.TRIP FIVE, mainly due to the four predecessors in the series – BIT.TRIP BEAT, CORE, VOID, and RUNNER. However, the developers suggest the name may be a bit more complex, referring fans to two online dictionaries (here, and here), which lay out all the possible four letter words that begin with the letter F.
One thing is for sure though, the game can be played with the Wii Zapper, as Alex Neuse, one of the series creators, posted this little tidbit on the page:
Alex Neuse here. I just got my first legitimate PERFECT in an entire BIT.TRIP level! It was Level 1 of BIT.TRIP F_ _ _! My key to success? The Wii Zapper.
Gaijin has already said that the BIT.TRIP series will be six games long. Seeing that the games have traveled a timeline of sorts through the annals of videogame history (starting with a Pong-like paddle, moving up to the D-Pad and eventually turning into a 2D platformer) it wouldn't be too much of a stretch to see CommanderVideo blasting through some sort of shooter mechanic.
Still, we'll have to wait until a more specific name is given to know for sure. Until then, any speculations? Perhaps BIT.TRIP FLOW? Or how about BIT.TRIP FAUX? Got it! BIT.TRIP FIDO!

Eh, BIT.TRIP FIRE sounds to obvious for a bit trip game. Some people on the facebook page are saying BIT.TRIP FLUX, and that sounds good. We won't know for a while, though.

brandonbwii, you beat me to the punch. I agree. I think it has to be bit.trip fire. Especially if it's a shooter.

shadx, and bit.trip runner wasn't too obvious?

It has to be one of these: Frat, Flux, Flea, Foam, Free, Food, or Frog.

repeating my guess of Bit.Trip FLAW, though FRAG was also a good guess by soccer686, lol

I'm going with BIT.TRIP FLIP. Also, I think some of you need to watch Gaijin Game's public service announcement.

So far all the games in the BIT.TRIP series have gained great review scores, so I'm banking that this one might be Gaijin's downfall.
BIT.TRIP FAIL
Only joking guys!

Looking foward to this new Bit.Trip, I'm gonna say it's Flow, but we'll just have to wait and see.

Bit.Trip Fire might be the name, but who knows, finally, the guessing time begins!

My guess is definitely BIT.TRIP FOXY.

@KDR_11k
Was thinking exactly the same

V8_Ninja said:
I got it! BIT.TRIP FREE!!!
Seriously, I'm voting for Flux, mostly because that makes the most sense.

Bit. Trip FIST >:3

Bit.Trip Fire does seem like the most obvious candidate.
#24
SilverBaretta said:
BIT.TRIP PROFANITY?
But for my serious guess, I'm going with BIT.TRIP FIRE or FLUX, because those do seem like the best names for it. Unless it's just to throw us off and it's BIT.TRIP FAKE or even weirder, BIT.TRIP FIVE!

I love my Zapper so I'm curious about this game.

it's gonan be called BIT.TRIP.BOREDOM....this time instead of occaisionally pressing unchanging button sequences, there will be no buttons at all. It will just be large, blocky pixels in a 6 minute cutscene. This one will cost 200 more points than the last one as well.

I think it's either flow or fire.

@Murd: Wow, I've never actually heard of anyone not liking BIT.TRIP. Kudos to you for showing me that.

SuperMarioFan96 said:
Hmmm, I don't actually own the zapper.... I hope it doesn't help too much!

Radbot42 said:
FLUX has already been thrown out. If you read all the posts under that facebook post you will notice how Gaijin already threw that name and all the previous ones out the window
#33
WiiLovePeace said:
Bit.Trip FACE maybe? Or maybe a word from a language other thn english, just using english letters? Hmmmm...
#34
Sylverstone said:
BIT.TRIP FRAG sounds like it.
I think that PSA is giving a hint somewhat.

YoshiSage said:
Insert some BIT.TRIP F*CK joke here.
Seriously, way too many of those have been made already in just a few days.

theblackdragon said:
@YoshiSage: indeed, and now that it's been brought up here as well as on the forums, that will be the end of it. :3

MrMartinLee said:
FLAG... as in "capture the..." Just throwin' it out there...

@30. SilverBlacktail
Now you know about two, 'cause i don't think the BIT.TRIP games are all that. They're not bad games, but i never got too excited by none of them.

MeloMan said:
Nah, if it's a shooter nothing makes better sense than BIT.TRIP FIRE. There'll probably be a BIT.TRIP RACE after this since they seem to be spanning different genres. called it
