At the Destructoid Live PAX event, Gaijin Games revealed the first gameplay footage of Bit.Trip Fate, the fifth game in the WiiWare exclusive Bit.Trip series. This time around the game will be a shooter in which players must guide Commander Video by shooting all the obstacles and enemies on screen. The title will retain the retro look the series is known for as well as a chip tune soundtrack by Minusbaby, which is available for purchase now on CD Baby.

Bit.Trip Fate will use the Wii Remote and Nunchuck. Wii Zapper support was previously revealed on the Bit.Trip Facebook page. The joystick will move Commander Video around while the pointer fires on the screen. Upgrades can be collected so the player can use stronger attacks. Music and rhythm has always played a huge role in the series's gameplay, and Bit.Trip Fate is no exception. Obstacles and enemies on the screen will be linked to the music.

Finally, Team Meat's Super Meat Boy and Mr. Robotube from Robotube Games will be making appearances in Bit.Trip Fate. Commander Video is set to appear as a playable character in Super Meat Boy.

A release date for Bit. Trip Fate has yet to be announced, but Gaijin Games promises that it will be very soon. More information can be found on the official game page.
