I can't deny that the Bit.Trip.Complete is amazing for fans of the series and is the superior version.

But I still want the 3DS version more. I would have more fun with it on the go and in short bursts. The release date is good too. I wonder if it will be priced at $40, but I still might bite.

I already have 4/6 up to Runner, so I will probably wait for a price drop on this instead of getting them off the Wii Shop. Maybe I'd bite once it's <=$20 since each were $6. I bet it launches at $29.99.

I'll probably wind up getting the Wii version at some point, but September's just getting too full for me to spare the money. I'll try my best at getting it ASAP though.

Never bought any of them before so I'm excited for this. Probably gonna pick up the 3DS version. Seems to be a better fit for me and my time schedule.

Probably going to bite on both. I really just wanted to get the 3DS version since it seems like the perfect portable game and I assume it will be awesome with headphones, but the extra features of the Wii are really nice.

Well lets do some maths. To purchase all six games off Wiiware would cost 6*3+8*3 = $42, So I guess $40 would be the fairest price and $30 would be a bargain.

Cool.. I kinda wanted the original Wii versions... a compilation is appealing.

Note that the cost of all three on WiiWare = $40

This'll be a 50-60 buck game, count on it.

I sincerely doubt it. These kinds of compilations released late in a console's lifespan are usually "budget" affairs. I'm guessing $40, with a quick drop to $30.

I kind of got turned off buying games on Wiiware when I didn't know if they would be carried over to future Nintendo consoles.

And I still haven't beaten the third level of Bit. Trip Beat so I saw no reason to buy the next game before mastering the first one.

The 3DS version has an MSRP of $40 so I imagine the Wii version will be the same.

One of the best indie series...nay, one of the best series of this generation. Even the weaker entries are still infectiously good.

I'm considering getting the wii version, just to show Gaijin some support and i already bought most of the games at Wiiware. Those guys deserve it and much more.

Just picked up the two bit trip games on Steam, was just thinking today while I was playing it how cool it would look in 3D.

Such a whore. I'll probably get both.
I'm surprised that they're not including the leaderboards in the 3DS version.
