Which one was made by Q-Games?

I think I'd buy even the two I own (Digidrive, Boundish) on the Wii again. I wonder what enhancements the other games will get...

I'm psyched about these released.  I honestly don't know too much about the Bit Generation games.  They always seemed interested to me, but were never worth importing.  I'm going to have to pay attention to the reviews for these.

Speaking of which, is NWR going to start reviewing WiiWare (and VC) games again? 

This is the breakdown of the Bit Gen games as I recall:

Skip:
Boundish, Coloris, Dialhex, Dotstream, Orbital, Soundvoyager

Q-Games:
Digidrive

So the total is actually 7, of which I own 4 (Digidrive, Dotstream, Orbital, and Soundvoyager). Boundish is based on Pong I think, with Coloris and Dialhex both being puzzle games. Of the 4 I own, Orbital's probably the best, but they're all cool in their own way.

Yeah, I'm totally pumped to see these come stateside in some form. I was contemplating importing the whole lot of them which would've cost me a fortune. This way I can get them all for under fifty bucks and play them on the TV (where I would've played them anyway). Well here's to hoping they re-release them all and even set us up with a few new ones.

I <3 dotstream. How are the bit generations games casual? They harken back to a simpler, purer era of gaming... and that seems to me most hardcore.

I wonder if Nintendo will also run student created games through WiiWare? I know that in Japan they had some sort of wall of student created GBA experimental games didn't they?

I think they have a casual appeal (due to their simplicity) overlying their traditional gaming roots.  For instance, Orbient looks like the kind of thing you might see in a browser game (not to downplay its quality or value), yet the strategy and SWEET, SWEET MATH inherent in the game design are more likely to appeal to the super-nerds who invented computer games in the first place.

Sorry about getting the number of BG games wrong.  That's the difference between a news article and a blog post!  I just spewed this out in five minutes after reading this morning's press release, and there was no editing process to discover the error.  But I'm not concerned with it, either.  ;-)

Like KDR, I've got DigiDrive and Boundish (only because they were on sale :tpg: ). I'd like to see Boundish remade, I got pretty addicted to that. Always wanted to play Dot Stream, so hopefully that hits WiiWare too!

Also guys, please don't try and shove them in either of the silly 'casual' or 'hardcore' memes. ;__; The industry has already suffered enough brain damage this generation trying to seperate video games. That'd be like trying to decide who Space Invaders was for.

Games are art now?  ;)

Speaking of gaming memes that should go extinct...

That's the expanded market, as opposed to the core market. When you complain that Nintendo needs more core games you are saying they should NOT do this and focus on expsnive, complex blockbusters instead. When Nintendo goes for the expanded market that means they do MORE of this. Hardcore and casual are meaningless dickwaggery labels anyway that imply a dichtomy that does not exist (a person can belong to the expanded and core market at the same time, casual and hardcore puts a strict either-or division into place).
