BIT.TRIP SAGA Will be Just $5 in the North American eShop From 1st September

everyone should buy this, Bit Trip is just wonderful. I kinda regret buying it on launch instead of Kid Icarus though, as tis price has declined heavily but Kid Icarus has stayed up near the £30 mark :/ Still, $5 for 6 fantastic games is not even a steal, its a bank heist.

Dude, I own Bit Trip Complete for the Wii and I'm tempted to get this just so that I can have Bit Trip on the go!

Good to see the Eshop doing these sales, Steam's sales are a reason why it's so big, hopefully they continue down this road and we get more discounts.

Radical! What a great deal (not that the deal applies to me) but doesn't it have debilitating frame rate issues or something, in some of the games? In any case I already have all of them on WiiWare AND Bit.Trip Complete on Wii so I don't really need it on 3DS, though I guess if it was $5 in my region I'd probably buy it quick smart anyway despite any issues haha

Not in America. If this deal came to Europe, yes, I'd buy it in a heart beat!

Sweet. So getting this.

Hurry up September!!!

I wished I waited for this deal. But if you have not played any or just a few of these games get this, you will not be disappointed.

Already got Complete for Wii,but for that price everybody and their mother should get it.Hopefully the E-shop will have sales like these regularly.

This deal is so good, I may sell my cartridge and download it!

I'm buying it

@therick112 Use the Save Data Transfer Tool before you sell the cartridge

Have all 6 Wiiware titles, Bit Trip Complete (Amazon cheap) and got this already for $15... all good!

Totally getting this!

Wish a promotion like this was available on the UK 3DS e-shop.

$5? I may have to pick this up then.

hell yeah! that right there is a major bargain! any huge game for that price is worth it, even if you don't like those types of games hahaha

Bit trip complete for $5? Great.... Now I gonna have to decide whether to use my wallet.... (again..)

Might have to get this...

I can use my deluxe digital promotion code to get this for free. I only have runner 1, the others only as demos

Okay. Now you got my interest. I really only liked two of the demos on Wiiware and this is less then even one of them. I guess I'm going to have to jump on this sale later.

I guess I will be getting this and Steamwolrd Dig next week

Now I'm really glad I didn't pick this up two weeks ago.

Sweet deal was gonna pick it up before on the last sale and never got a chance. This is a steal of a deal for 6 great games.

I already have the cartridge, but I am tempted to get this permanently on my 3DS. I have put so much money into this series. I have all the originals on my Wii, COMPLETE, and SAGA. If this version wasn't so glitchy I'd get this for sure.

Ok, I'll bite down on the hook. It seems the universe really want me to have this game. This would be my first in the series.

I've already got the cartridge but I might as well download it onto my 3DS. Time to finally utilize that Save Data Transfer Tool.

Love it on Wii, It's a must get for me and the price is just soo attractive.

Time to double dip!

ohh wait its for the American eShop.. doh!...

I wish this was Europe and I'd be downloading it right away!

Why you no put Runner HD on the e-shop in Australia?

I hear it's not the best port in the world, but holy heck, you can't go wrong for five bucks. I paid that much just for Bit Trip Beat when it first released on the Wii, and it was totally worth it.

I will absolutely get this. I have no experience with this series and have always contemplated trying it. Can't go wrong for $5.

If Rising Star follows this price cut, I'll get it on 3ds too. I have Complete on Wii and Runner 2 on Wii U, but I love me some 3d and handheld gaming.

I knew I saved my $5 code for a reason!

Doodoopoopiecacadoo, that's tempting...I've beaten Runner 1 on Wii, and LOVE Runner 2 on the WiiU, but never played any other Bit Trip games, but for $5, I'd replay Runner 1 in 3D

It's not any kind of deal if it still hasn't been patched. i love Gaijin to death and I've been a big fan of the Bit.Trip series since the beginning, but I absolutely recommend that people not buy this game, not even for $5. Life is too short to spend it fighting with a broken version of these amazing games. Get Complete instead (it has no issues and includes all the extra goodies) or buy the WiiWare versions.

I was waiting for a deal like this!

@theblackdragon If I had a Wii or Wii U, that'd be great, but all I have is a 3DS...

Well, looks like I'm never buying an on-sale third party eShop game again, at least until that discount hits 50%. Oh well.

This is a no-brainer. At $5 you're getting a lot of content and get to listen one of the best soundtracks of the last 5 years.

I loved the game in my review:

http://www.4colorrebellion.com/archives/2013/02/15/4cr-plays-bit-trip-saga/

And yes, I also own complete and didn't have any problems with playing the game. If you think you're doing good and the game is the one with the problem, turn 3D off.

I have been waiting to play these games... Seems like the time is getting near!

Got it for 3€ on amazon a couple of weeks ago =)

Man, this is a great deal but, I really preferred the Wii version mainly because of the game design being built around the motion controls for a number of it's games. However this is a fantastic deal for the 3ds so I cannot really complain. Will be getting for the 3ds.....and probably for the wii eventually still. ^_^

I have heard this is a poor port and I have the wii disk.

Have the cart, but this deal is to good to pass up!!! I'll just move all my data over boom!!!!!

Done.

@JaxonH I'm aware of this. I was responding to the comment that theblackdragon said about buying Bit Trip Complete instead of Saga.

Interesting deal. Considering i havent bought anything from the E-Shop in a long time this deal seems to good to pass up.

@pariah164
Yeah I realized my mistake immediately after posting.

@theblackdragon

How are these games broken? Corbs mentions framerate issues in Runner, is that what you mean?

Another option for those who don't want to settle for a glitchy version but lack a Wii/Wii U is Steam. All but one games are currently on there with the last one probably coming eventually.

That said, I'm gonna buy this.

$15 is an incredible deal to begin with, but only $5? After having personally spent $55 on SAGA ($40 at retail, $15 for eShop) with zero regrets, I CANNOT recommend highly enough that you pick this up for only $5.

I am tempted even though I have the retail release.

W.O.W.

Just, this is awesome. I'm probably going to get this.

Sweet. I still kinda want the box though...
