BitTripVoid03 Get Bit.Trip Void and Super Mario Kart on WiiWare Today, Mac!

WiiWare’s getting retro today with both the 17-year-old Super Mario Kart and the brand new Bit.Trip Void. The former is a Super Nintendo classic, unfortunately neglected due to the popularity of 1997’s Mario Kart 64 (already available on WiiWare for $10), but that doesn’t mean it’s an inferior game. It actually feels a bit faster and more challenging than  Mario Kart 64, which by comparison really stressed party-friendliness and handicapping. If you want the most hardcore of Mario Kart experiences, the SNES version is where it’s at, and you can get it now through the Wii Shop channel for 800 points, equivalent to $8. Bit.Trip Void? That game’s just crazy. Video after the jump.

Like Bit.Trip Beat and Bit.Trip Core, the latest from Gaijin Games deals in blocky, pixelated graphics, low-fi chiptunes and initially simple action that quickly becomes complicated. The goal is to collect black dots while avoiding the white ones, but as you can see in the video below, your brain will probably melt while trying to keep up with the bobbing and weaving patterns. To make matters worse, your void expands with every dot you collect, making undesirable collisions inevitable. The game can be had for 600 Wii points. If you’re curious about the series and don’t want to dive right in, you can also download the Bit.Trip Beat demo for free. [via PC World]
