This week, we get our first taste of Nintendo’s new WiiWare demos. Surprisingly, it didn’t take Nintendo that long to flip the switch for North America, considering the company revealed the long-overdue feature — and day-one annoyance — only earlier this month. And on top of the free trial versions of select WiiWare titles (five total this week!), there are also two new Virtual Console titles to enjoy, as well as three new DSiWare games. Hit the break for the full list.

Gaijin Games has announced a release date for the third game in its abstract, chiptune-infused Bit.Trip series. Bit.Trip: Void, which involves using the Nunchuk’s analog stick to absorb and/or avoid dots based on color, will arrive in North America on November 23. “That’s right, the week of Thanksgiving!” the announcement notes. “Total sweetness in the village.” Like Beat and Core, it’ll cost 600 Wii Points.
If you like the music from the Bit.Trip games, you’ll also be delighted to know that the soundtrack for Bit.Trip: Beat is now available for purchase on iTunes and CDBaby, with releases to follow on pretty much every online and mobile music retailer you’ve ever heard of, and several you haven’t.
Finally, proving its allegiance to the chiptune community. Gaijin Games announced that it will sponsor this year’s Blip Festival in New York City. Classy!

Attention virtual pilots: New DLC for IL-2 Sturmovik is now available on Xbox Live and PSN. The DLC adds six new missions to the game, one for each theatre. Also included in the pack is a new plane to fly, the American P47D. According to the Xbox Live Marketplace description — though curiously absent from the press release — the pack also adds the German Ta 152 H-1. The mission pack DLC will set you back 400 or $4.99 on Xbox Live and PSN, respectively.

Proving that the
Bit.Trip is far from reaching its destination, Nintendo has
listed two additional games in the pixel-celebrating series for WiiWare. (We already
got a hint at another this morning, bringing the total number of
Trips we’ll be going on to three.)
The Big N has the already announced Bit.Trip: Void down for Q3 2009 release, noting that “three additional titles” in the franchise will arrive sometime in Q4 2009 and into Q1 2010. We already know from our chat with Gaijin Games that one of the trio is based on an old-school Atari title — the other two are anyone’s guess. We’re betting on the sixth game being Bit.Trip: Trip, in which players must guide a lone pixel home through all of the previous Bit.Trip games.

Following his panel about Gaijin Games’ design process, we approached art director Mike Roush to try to get some more information about Bit.Trip: Void — specifically, when we’ll be able to download and play it. He wasn’t entirely sure, because nobody is when it comes to downloadable Nintendo releases, but he told us, “If I were to guess, it would be mid-October. We wanted to push that release date back.”
Roush said that Gaijin is shooting for a simultaneous worldwide release for the Ikaruga-ish dot-absorbing game, after receiving some “flak” from impatient European fans. While we were chatting, we tried our wiliest interview techniques to try to extract some hints about the next Bit.Trip title — which is to say we asked for hints about the next Bit. Trip title. “I will not give you a hint,” Roush said. “However, it is the game we all wanted to make when we started Gaijin Games. It’s the game we’ve been waiting for… I will give you a hint: it will be based off of an Atari game.”
And no, it isn’t Warlords. We asked.

Gaijin Games is up to its old tricks again, offering inscrutable teasers for an upcoming game, though the new “Explore the Void” site is much more quietly lovely than the Commander Video mysteries we’re used to. Over the last week or so, the developer has posted images to the site that have now been revealed as extreme closeups of satellite dishes in silhouette.
What does it mean for the next game? Bit. Trip: Dish? Bit. Trip: Transmit?Bit. Trip: Zoomed In Images of Everyday Objects? At least we have pretty pictures to look at while we contemplate this puzzle.

Folks, it’s time to break out the party hats and noise makers because, just as expected, Bit.Trip: Core is the 100th WiIWare game to release on the service. Why, we remember our little pal doing finger paintings and learning to ride a bike like it was yesterday. They grow up so fast!

Gaijin Games posted this semi-cryptic puzzle to its official blog yesterday, offering what seems to be the release date for Bit.Trip: Core, the follow-up to the retro-rhythm-Pong-shooter, Bit.Trip: Beat. The numbers “7+6+9″ correspond to a date: July 6, 2009, which just happens to be a Monday. We’ve gotten confirmation from Gaijin Games that this is indeed the meaning of the image.
“Absolutely,” Gaijin’s Chris Osborn told us. “And it will be the 100th WiiWare release!” Given that Nintendo saves its milestone Virtual Console releases for things like Zelda games, it seems like quite a distinction to be the hundredth game on WiiWare.
