Shut up and take my deluxe payback codes!

I hope there is some option to turn off checkpoints or to have the choice to revert to the beginning of the level after each death, preferably with minimal input.

You knock down a large wall and a big red blob floats across the screen in front of things you need to be avoiding? Wha... why?
You get bonus points for intentionally skipping checkpoints, so this seems unlikely.

I'm disappointed this isn't hitting the 3DS eshop
I guess maybe they don't want to take away from Bit Trip Saga, which I would be OK with if it wasn't such a bad port (according to what I've read, anyway).
Hopefully it'll come out at a later date.
I bought BTS over the weekend because it's 9.99 on the eShop this month, and the ports seem fine of the games I've played on other systems (Beat on Wii and Runner on PC).
I spent a good couple hours playing Bit Trip Void, seemed fine to me.
What about PC (Steam)? Or are we considering all PC games DD now?
Are there any exclusive features? i.e. touch screen, waggle, camera, modes, levels, etc?
I felt kind of the same way. The graphics look really detailed and fancy, but there is so much going on that I feel the sidescrolling speed may be too fast to appreciate, and/or even harder to follow. I agree about the stop sign blocking the screen. That's kind of funny.

"PC (Steam)" was already in the OP when he made that post.

I might go ahead and get it just for runner, but I read many people saying the slowdowns mess with your timing, even in 2D

I just got it the other day, and yeah, the slowdown is really awful in world 3. To the point of being game hampering. But 10 dollars for all six of the games is pretty awesome, and I haven't noticed anything wrong with Beat or Core yet

I only did one level in Runner, so maybe the lag happens later.
Thanks for the feedback. I'll keep updating the thread with more media and avatars.
The slowdowns get horrible in Zone 3. However, they didn't mess with my timing at all.

It's the hardest boss in the game, IMO. Eventually you'll beat it and the rest of the ride won't be that painful. Except a couple levels in the last world, with all of those flying object in a wave pattern :|
Alright, updated the OP with avatars!
Your avatar looks strikingly similar to one of the ones in the OP, haha.
Anywho, yeah, those blocks moving in a wave pattern are tough. Still stuck there.

Almost certain it's $14.99 on the eShop, but maybe there'll be a week one sale if we're lucky. Really hope so!
Thankfully we as human beings have the capacity to ignore stuff in our visual field.

I already have this pre-purchased on Steam. I will probably double dip on the Wii U version at some point too. I absolutely adore the first Runner.
You haven't played Flux yet? Do yourself a favor and play it now, it's like one hour long, but it's a hell of an hour.
Haha, I've had his avatar for a while now.
The most frustrating part of the first was definitely the 3 red dots, followed by the 3 blue dots repeated about 10 times, or jumping over the air conditioner looking things and ducking under the meteors, sliding down the stairs.

Man the music in these trailers is awesome. I can't wait until next Tuesday.

The lastest trailer mentions PS VITA at the end.

Is this a mistake? Does this mean cross-buy?
UPDATE:
I asked them on twitter and they said it's coming out on Vita as a separate game!!
Is it wrong that I'm tempted to buy a vita because of that? (and PS+).

Picked this up on Wii U and played through the first four stages or so. Having a blast so far, but noticed something weird on the leaderboards.
I beat the first stage on normal, and then tried it on hard. I got a perfect on the level and a perfect on the bullseye at the end. I was pretty happy and was third on the leaderboards when I checked. However, I went and replayed the level on normal to try and get a perfect on that difficulty and it seems that the lower normal score overwrote my record for hard on the leaderboards. Even stranger, I got the 'Reward' (their form of achievements) for getting a total of score of over 5,000,000, but when I look at the game totals, it's only now showing 4,550,000.
I might be misunderstanding how they are tallying certain things, or maybe the leaderboards are a bit buggy from just launching, but was a little surprised when it happened. Anyways, I replayed it again, and got a perfect with the perfect bullseye and the hard score is now back on the leaderboard.

One of my least favorite parts of the first game is how the actions you needed to perform were so off-beat from the music that was playing. It presents itself like a rhythm game but if you ever try to match your actions to the beat you'll fail instantly.
Any chance this game handles that better?

I had no idea that Charles Martinet (actor who voices Mario) was recording dialogue for this. Really looking forward to hearing his happy little voice take me through the insane world of Bit.trip as soon as I get off work...
No Ps3 version until next Tuesday? What the hell?
Steam preorder version is not up yet despite game being live
Have tried restarting a few times, to not avail, looking at the Steam forums and the facebook page, I'm not the only one
