        Bit.Trip Saga (stylized as BIT.TRIP SAGA) is a retro-style music video game developed by Gaijin Games and published by Aksys Games for the Nintendo 3DS handheld game console. It was released on September 13, 2011 in North America and in Europe on Rising Star Games on March 16, 2012. It is a compilation of all six downloadable video games released for the Nintendo Wii's WiiWare service, including Bit.Trip Beat, Bit.Trip Core, Bit.Trip Void, Bit.Trip Runner, Bit.Trip Fate, and Bit.Trip Flux.

        Gameplay

        All six of the Bit.Trip titles support the Nintendo 3DS' stereoscopic 3D visual effects. All of the games feature "simple graphics" and "challenging gameplay tied to a soundtrack of Atari 2600-like bleeps".[3]

        Development

        Bit.Trip Saga was announced on April 28, 2011 in a press release by Aksys Games, its publisher. Gaijin Games, which, along with Aksys, were responsible for the creation of all the Bit.Trip titles included in this collection, which included Bit.Trip Beat, Bit.Trip Core, Bit.Trip Void, Bit.Trip Runner, Bit.Trip Fate, and Bit.Trip Flux.[3]
