Recently, Gaijin Games released the above image on their blog for the game Bit.Trip: Core, the sequel to the unique rhythm-based Pong game, Bit.Trip: Beat.
“7+6+9” could be interpreted as the date, “July 7th, 2009” but the “100” was a bit baffling. When asked if the meaning of the first three numbers was what people thought it was, an employee of Gaijin Games responded with extra information that explained the whole image:
"Absolutely," Gaijin's Chris Osborn told us. "And it will be the 100th WiiWare release!"
As of this writing, the number of WiiWare games available is at 95 and July 7th is a Monday, when new WiiWare games are released. This gives credence to the claim but it also is interesting in that milestone releases are usually reserved for titles believed to be greatly anticipated. Considering how well received Bit.Trip: Beat was, one can see how Nintendo would be taking such a chance with Bit.Trip: Core. The game just has to live up to its, now much higher, expectations.
