PSN, WiiWare, XBLA: NY Comic-Con '09 Media Round-Up: Battlefield, Bit.Trip Beats And More

The New York Comic Convention has been a bit of a surprise in terms of digital download goodies - EA has announced a downloadable Battlefield game, Blitz Arcade continue to have a great deal with Namco-Bandai for Invincible Tiger, and Bit.Trip Beats made the surprise showing there. Frankly it's all an odd choice for a Comic Convention but hey, more power to them.

Below is a list of all the new media that sprung up over the weekend. The Battlefield videos, like the one above, really show off the game and the mechanics of this version, and Bit.Trip Beats makes a whole lot more sense now. Give them all a look.
