Core rush: Gaijin tease next WiiWare Bit.Trip game

A low-bit rainbow-pixellated bird -- the same one, obviously, as flew in to alert me to hidden envelopes being discovered around San Fransisco during GDC -- has again dropped in with this new image, whispered something unintelligible about the next volume in Gaijin Games' Bit.Trip series, touched a single wing-feather to the side of its beak, and flown off without a trace.

His appearance has reminded me, too, that I've still yet to make it through even the first challenge of the original Beat -- so much for worries that the game would be all-show and no-play -- though I did watch with no small amount of stupefied wonder as Flashbang's Ben Ruiz quietly showed the rest of a small GDC party up by making his way through on his first attempt.

He remained stoic throughout: the only sign of weakness was a single bead of sweat slowly tracing a line down his forehead.
