The WiiWare Bit.Trip series is one of the few truly unique games that everyone should at least try once, and now that there is almost three different Bit.Trip games on the Wii you have a selection. Gaijin the makers of Bit.Trip are pumping out titles faster than you can say “chiptune songs are awesome.” and are almost done with Void, which will be playable at PAX09.

If that wasn’t awesome enough, according to 4 Color Rebellion the game will be included features that players have been begging for…

Gaijin says [Bit.Trip.Void the] third chapter in the series is bringing 4 player local co-op, nunchuck & classic controller support, the mid-level checkpoints some have begged for, and guest star Nullsleep.

To be honest, I’d like to know your thoughts on this series Infendo? Have you Bit.Tripped?

You can view the trailer for Bit.Trip.Void after the jump.

Ever heard of Chiptunes? No? Well here’s your crash course – Chiptunes are musical compositions that use classic game console soundchips instead of traditional synthesizers – in short, people hacking old consoles to make music.  Every now and then something awesome comes along that just begs to be shared, and this is one of them: Pterodactyl Squad’s “Weezer – the 8-bit album.”

Do you remember that dream you had, where the sound chips from the beloved games consoles of your youth all got together and formed a Weezer tribute band? Yeah? No? OK. That dream is about to come true whether you had it or not.

It’s pretty neat – check it out.
