Gaijin Games and Aksys Games recently revealed Bit.Trip Void, the latest game in the Bit.Trip series, for WiiWare. In this game, players will control a pixilated black hole that adjusts in size in attempt to absorb black beats while avoiding white beats.

For the first time in the series, the object you control can be moved anywhere. In order to address one chief complaint that existed in the first two Bit.Trip games, Void features mid-level checkpoints so that you don't have to start over from the very beginning when you fail a level. The game also supports the Nunchuk and Classic Controller, which gives players more flexibility in controller options. Like the rest of the series, the game features four-player co-op and retro-inspired graphics and soundtrack.

Currently, there is no release date for Bit.Trip Void.

Torrance, CA (September 2th, 2009) - Aksys Games, a publisher of interactive entertainment software, is proud to announce the next evolution in CommanderVideo's journey, BIT.TRIP VOID! Developed exclusively for WiiWare TM by the crazy brains at Gaijin Games, BIT.TRIP VOID is the next entry in the critically acclaimed retro-arcade BIT.TRIP series which follows CommanderVideo on his epic journey from the ethereal to the corporeal, and beyond...

THE VOID AWAITS...

BIT.TRIP VOID is a synesthetic exploration of rhythm and music as they pertain to our everyday lives and moods. In a control scheme brand new to the series, yet wholly familiar to gamers, the player is given complete freedom to move about the screen wherever they desire, interacting with the music in brand new ways.

The classic gameplay aesthetic remains, as color-and the absence of color-are explored to the fullest. Trip out in up to 4-player co-op and get lost in the beat with your friends! See if you can survive the onslaught of Beats and further your own BIT.TRIP.

"BIT.TRIP VOID completes the first chapter in CommanderVideo's journey with a synesthetic exploration of mind/beat interaction. But as one chapter ends, another begins.." states Alex Neuse, Designer, Gaijin Games. "We hope that you find this game as beautiful as we do, and we can't wait to make another one for you. Keep rockin'!"
