After a bit of teasing, Aksys Games has officially announced Bit.Trip Saga for 3DS. The card will compile all six of the games in the series, originally released on WiiWare: Beat, Core, Void, Runner, Fate and Flux. The games have been well-received, both by us and in general, so it should be a promising compilation.
There’s no date set yet. The full release is after the break.
