Japan's October line-up announced. Nothing really major this time around; the biggest news is that they're adding games from the NEC PC-Engine SuperGraphx, which was essentially a tweaked PC-Engine that only saw 7 SuperGraphx-only games during it's lifespan.

I always heard that there were only 5 Supergrafx games. Either way, it's good news. The trick will be getting any of them in the US.
My single favorite game of all time is the arcade version of Ghouls N' Ghosts but I've never gotten to try the Supergrafx port. Nintendo/Capcom, bring it over here and let me buy it for 900 points.

Someone on GameFAQs (for what that's worth, which is nothing) predicted the 29th for Earthbound.
It's not going to happen, but I'm interested to see the reaction on the Mother 3 board when it doesn't. I was honestly only there to check if they knew anything about the status of the fan translation! Honest!

Orbient sounds interesting, very interesting. I might have to pick this one up sometime. Depending on reviews.

Bomberman Blast? Heck yeah.
And Art Style: Orbient looks to be remakes of their bit generation games for the GBA. I may have to check this one out as well for only 600 points.

I'm absolutely down with bit generations showing up here in NA in any form. I sort of wish they retained the original games names. The titles seemed relatively import friendly and Orbital > Orbient.

I think we're only getting 3 games (when Japan and Europe get more) is because of the storage problem: they know the U.S. market will complain more. Where is the storage solution Nintendo mentioned?

Damn it, I JUST bought Mega Man 9 last night. Now, I'm going to have to buy Bomberman too...but given that I've been waiting for it since they announced it, I'll survive. 
Can't promise any impressions anytime soon (exam on Thursday), but if anyone's up for multiplayer over the weekend let me know.
Mega Man 9 is fan-
ing-tastic, but I suck at it. I've only beaten Galaxy Man and Splash Woman, and had my ass handed to me by Magma Man a few times. :lol:

Wow. Anything Bit Generations has to get support from me, so I'll be picking that up out of pure principle.
If I find out BMB has lots of love around here, I might get that as well. I just fear that in six months we'll get BMB2 and it'll have WiiSpeak support, which would make it SO much more worthwhile.

Bit Generations is full of win. If I had the money I'd own the full set, but I have just Orbital and Soundvoyager (best game on GBA!) now.
BB is fun, but like wiiskiier (I think that's the username) mentioned, the 3D makes boundaries unclear in some levels where a specific grid is necessary (to judge if you need to move from a bomb explosion)
Since I already own Orbital the remake is only a pirate for me until I know how it seperates itself from Orbital. Also what the kind of terrible name is Art Style: Orbient? Orbital sounds badass, Orbient sounds like someone on GameFAQs talking about solar systems. Art Style? Bit Generations any day.
All of these new games remind me that I need some updates to my micro WiiWare reviews.

That good?
I've never played any of the GBA games because I can't really afford the import prices (and missed the awesome sale). 600 points is cheap, but I'd have to spring for another $10 worth of points to get that, on top of the $10 I'm already planning on for Bomberman. I might put Orbient off for a little while.k

It plays exactly like the GBA version. The only differences I'm noticing are some enhanced graphical flares here and there. When you increase gravity, you'll see all these little white specks speeding toward you to represent that. When you push away, all the outlying planets start sending off this fiery exhaust.
Otherwise it's a straight port. So I know you'll come in here and deride it just for that. It's a somewhat valid point - if Sony or Microsoft had been in charge, we'd be seeing a much more graphically pleasing game, and it wouldn't have killed Nintendo to make up better backgrounds and textures for the planets. Granted that would have required some reworking of the gameplay mechanics, but overall it wouldn't have been hard to do.
The word of the port is "utilitarian." It gets the job done but you're not going to love it for the aesthetics - you'll either love the gameplay and realize this is sort of an answer to Sony's flOw. Or, rather, a predecessor. I guess another way of saying this is that the minimalist graphics work much better on the GBA since you've got a lower-resolution screen and all that, so it makes a little more sense there. Here, on the big screen, you're sort of directly staring at the pure void of graphics going on.
The name could be worse. I was never too hot on "Digiluxe" as the trademarked American name for the series. "Art Style" makes sense. "Orbient" just sounds like one of those cool buzzwords - all spacey and mysterious. There's a small, small chance "Orbital" presented some copyright issues, since this is their first honest approach into the States.
I hope the other games make it over. Dotstream would be amazing if they give it some proper attention. I'm thinking nice 8bit styled graphics and some simple particle effects. Online racing/leaderboards would be nice too, but I'm guessing nothing even close to that extravagant is going to happen.

It's not going to break you if you don't get it now - I can say that much.
Bit Generations was sort of experimental and only released in Japan, complete with amazing boxes/boxart and little symbols for the seven games. I so desperately wanted them to come stateside but they never did (I've heard this is due to marketing issues - they couldn't figure out how to tell people to buy a cheap $20 game when all the licensed stuff is the same price, and what parent is going to buy Orbital over Spongebob?).
So this is sort of my way of supporting this sort of thing, in the same vein as Megaman 9, Earthbound, Super Mario RPG, Cho Aniki, etc.
It does bother me that this game came out of nowhere. Nintendo should really be giving some amount of hype to them - they are exquisite games in the purest sense of game, even though I know today's generation of gamers are doing to cry and whine about them left and right. Here we have Wiiware presenting them with a second opportunity to let these games be experienced by a broader range of people, and they just sort of sneak it in under the radar.
Oh well. I'll take them in any iteration I can get them. I'm surprised it's only 6 bucks - I probably would have paid onward up to 1000.

What's to get? Check out flOw. Or, really, Katamari Damacy. Same basic ideas at play in each.
You're a tiny planet. You can absorb ones the same size (the blue ones) to grow. Smaller planets (gray) can be "adopted" as satellites if you get close enough and get them trapped in your gravity. Ultimately you become large enough to reveal the "gold star," which you must trap as a satellite in order to end the level.
It's an extremely minimalistic game. You only have two buttons to use - A and B. A draws you closer to planets (increase gravity), B pushes you away (decreases). In that respect, you have no gimmicks to help you - it's "pure" gameplay.
If it doesn't interest you from the movie, you aint gon' like it after you pay six bucks.
Let's put it this way: You people know Touch Generations, yeah? Bit Generations/Art Style is like the hipster cousin. He carries a Macbook around and drinks double mocha lattes with cinammon shots. He wears a fedora from Kangol and drives a Vespa. Except he's not quite such a pretentious asshole that you would dislike being near him - you'd just rather he didn't order a salad when you went to a burger joint. And he happens to like all the movies you like, and for all the right reasons. He also listens to underground indie bands but doesn't necessarily scoff at popular ones, so long as they can demonstrate some amount of honest musicality and skill.
To further drive the point home, Touch Generations is far more pedestrian, and wants to only eat a burger and fries. But he's a little friendlier and more approachable, and might even pay for dinner if you put up with him long enough, even though he's kind of infectiously annoying with his endlessly bubbly personality. No, Touch Generations, I don't want to go the zoo again this weekend. We were just there yesterday. Yes I know everybody loves the zoo. Leave me alone. Damn.

Orbital for $6 is a ridiculously good deal.
If it had had a graphical update or any sort of new content, I'd buy it again in a heartbeat.

There are more than enough stages/options for online play in the WiiWare version. Previously stated spatial reasoning issues aside, it's pretty much all anyone actually needs or wants out of a Bomberman game.

Just picked up Orbient since it was the only game that I could download without having to delete anything *shakes fist*.
The game itself is very relaxing and does kind of make me think of a mix between flOw and Katamari Damacy. The "goal" is to become big enough to capture the end star, but of course there are various other things you can do in the process, deciding whether or not to engulf a smaller planet or keep it in your orbit for additional points and lives. As a new planet enters into your orbital rotation, a new theme is added to the ambient soundtrack increasing the complexity of the overall theme.
For 600 points, this game is a steal guys and there's really no excuse not to pick this up.
Sadly, these past few weeks have left me drained almost completely of points and space and Bomberman Blast might have to wait a little while until I obtain more points and decide to free up some more space. If anything else appealing is released in the upcoming weeks be it VC or WiiWare, the problem is going to become even more annoying.

The game itself is very relaxing and does kind of make me think of a mix between flOw and Katamari Damacy. The "goal" is to become big enough to capture the end star, but of course there are various other things you can do in the process, deciding whether or not to engulf a smaller planet or keep it in your orbit for additional points and lives. As a new planet enters into your orbital rotation, a new theme is added to the ambient soundtrack increasing the complexity of the overall theme.
For 600 points, this game is a steal guys and there's really no excuse not to pick this up.
Sadly, these past few weeks have left me drained almost completely of points and space and Bomberman Blast might have to wait a little while until I obtain more points and decide to free up some more space. If anything else appealing is released in the upcoming weeks be it VC or WiiWare, the problem is going to become even more annoying.[/quote]
Wait is this the same as the cell phase of spore? Eat things until you get bigger?
