Gaijin Games to show its first self-published and non Bit.Trip game at PAX

Gaijin Games has revealed its next WiiWare game, and -- surprise -- it's not a Bit.Trip game. The company's first game outside of the franchise -- and the first to be self-published instead of put out by Nintendo -- will be a port of the indie-developed iPhone darling lilt line.

While lilt line has already been developed by another company (online game development collective differentcloth), the trailer shown above shows that the title has a lot in common with Gaijin's popular Bit.Trip franchise -- particularly the rhythm-based gameplay. While all of the company's Bit.Trip games have been met with critical acclaim, Gaijin will have a high standard to live up to with its version of lilt line, as the iPhone original captured the Mobile Audio Achievement Award at the 2010 Independent Games Festival Mobile.

lilt line will be released on WiiWare this Fall, but eager gamers will be able to try the game out at this weekend's Penny Arcade Expo in Seattle, Washington. Any Bit.Trip fans looking to check this one out?
