Bit.Trip Flux Out Now
Experience the final installment of Gaijin Games' retro-styled WiiWare saga today.
Bit.Trip Flux has a similar dynamic to the first Bit.Trip title, Beat, but throws a selection of twists at the player as they try to intercept dots with a Pong-like paddle. Because what that game needed was more difficulty, obviously.
Bit.Trip Flux is available now on WiiWare for 800 Wii Points, which will run you about $8.
Nintendo also pushed out a Diner Dash clone and a licensed game based on a kids' cartoon to DSiWare this week.* That'll teach you to doubt the company's commitment to the DSi platform.
* There is also a port of a mobile physics-based puzzler from 2006 called Magnetic Joe out on DSiWare this week for 500 points, but it didn't fit with my overall snarky tone. I had to pull it out into a footnote to make the story work. By all means, though, check it out – I have no idea if it's any good, but at least it's not obvious trash. And that's a win on Nintendo platforms some weeks.
I’d like to ask you to support Game Informer’s continued coverage of games with a subscription. For less than two dollars per issue, we mail you a full year of 10 print magazines, each with cover stories and preview features filled with exclusive details about the most exciting upcoming games. We profile and interview game creators. We look back on the rich history of gaming, and we celebrate what’s next.
Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
It’s not possible without support.
In a time when game makers and games coverage have faced hard struggles and layoffs, the future of this 30+ year magazine and community is at risk. Our new standalone magazine subscription is the number one way you can keep us alive – and we believe you’ll get a pretty fantastic gaming magazine in your mailbox every few weeks for your trouble.
Thank you.
