Title: Bit Boy!!

Yes, the exclamation marks are in the title.

Anyway, it's a maze game.  Or rather, a series.  You travel through the different generations of video games from 4-bit (even though second-gen consoles were technically 8-bit, and Bplus acknowledges this) to 128-bit, which is today.  You have to save Kubi's friends who were kidnapped.  It's coming out for WiiWare in early summertime.

Do you want this?

I sure as hell do.

Sounds pretty neat, I'll get it as long as it doesn't cost more than 600WP

It's confirmed to cost less than 1000.  I'm not worried about the price so much.

Interesting idea but I'm not sold.

It sounds interesting indeed.

If they do it properly, they have a sure sale with me.

To my knowledge, this isn't getting released in Japan.

How's it feel to become one of us?  8)

Dude, shut up.
He used to live in Europe, so he's gotten the shaft from game companies worse than you ever will.

You never know.
World of Goo was also not going to be released in Japan, until Nintendo did it themselves.

And at first they have to prove it will be good.

Until then I can tide me over with... let's say Game Center CX 2.  :P

OWN'D

In other news, I don't like puzzle games very much, but if this gimmick works well...and they don't screw it up like other games similar to this, then it should be good.  I'm glad to hear that it'll be under 1,000 points.  Just because it has N64 graphics doesn't mean that it should be 1,000WP

Well... the idea is good, but im 95 percent sure its a decent game
Title: Re: Bit Boy!!
Post by: nintendodork on June 23, 2009, 09:08:12 am
...What?  Decent=Average

It's a puzzle game, so I don't expect much, but I think it'll be good...for a puzzle game.

Did anybody end up buying this?  Kotaku gave it a pretty poor review:

QuoteUnfortunately Bit Boy only gets the idea half right. Rather than being an evolution of the video game, it's merely the evolution of video game graphics.

Ok.
No buy for me.
