  Bit.Trip Fate Revealed as Side-Scrolling Shooter

  Gaijin Games has revealed BIT.TRIP FATE, the penultimate chapter of its six-part WiiWare rhythm game series started by BIT.TRIP BEAT.

  While FATE's name was revealed by Nintendo last month, the game itself remained a mystery.

  BIT.TRIP FATE puts the intrepid CommanderVideo in an on-rails side-scrolling shooter, blasting bad guys and dodging shots in time to a "chiptune-inspired dubstep soundtrack."
