Official Bit Boy!! Game Play Trailer

Looks pretty cool, I'll keep my eye on this one.

EPICNESS!

WOOT!

Looks like a cool version of Pac-man

OH MY GOD!!! That looks too cool. I really hope the levels aren't too easy. And I hope that there aren't only two levels of each "bit-era", because that's what it seemed like in the video...I can't wait. >:3

Yes it looks like a very cool version of Pac-man. This one is on my radar

Looks pretty cool. Can't wait to find out more. Maybe our interview will reveal more information about the game.

Some gameplay mechanics emerge... It looks interesting, I'm registering at their forum to stay up-to-date with this game's development

Very interesting. I guess it's done if it has an ESRB rating, which is odd, as until now it sounded like it was fairly early along in development.

Oh well, whatever. On the radar for shizzle.

the idea sounded cool but might not be that great if the gameplay through all generations is the same

The 4-bit thing really irritates the computer pedant in me because it makes no sense, but the game looks pretty groovy.

It looks good, but I'm worried about the gameplay, it seemed that all the eras were played in almost the same way, didn't expect that, mmm I still hope this turns out right.

Looks good. I love pacman and can play for hours, so hopefully this'll be an updated version, meaning I can play for weeks

This game actualy looks fun.

Hmmm, the game actually looks worse now that I've seen the trailer. Although I haven't obviously seen much of it, the gameplay looks drastically less appealing than what I was hoping for. Mainly, I was hoping for something a little more free, and mazes, well, they're kind of the opposite of free. The graphics aren't that impressive either, and I mean that for each platform. The idea is interesting, and I'm still intrigued, but right now, I'm not getting my hopes up.

This seems like a clever idea uniquely executed. A definite download, I'm thinking.

@Sean Aaron:
What do you mean about them not making sense? I'm not questioning your conclusion, I'm just too dumb to know what you're referring to specifically.

I'm interested. But I stick to my feeling: BPlus makes horrible 3d graphics. 4- and 8-bit looks really nice though

I dunno...C'mon BPlus! Surprise me!

It looks nice, but I hope this does not get poor reviews like other ones.

Yeah, this could be Bplus best work. That might not be saying much, but hopefully it is a better effort. Certainly looks like a great idea if they can pull it off.

@ChickieBrutie: Well, the game claims to be a tour of video games past. Back when the Atari 2600 and it's competitors ruled the roost (what the first stage seems to be emulating) the consoles used 8-bit processors, meaning the CPUs could process 8-bits of data at a time.

They seem to be trying to distinguish between these systems and the NES/SMS because for most gamers it's hard to imagine that the NES/SMS were also 8-bit systems, it's just that their CPUs had higher clock speeds (meaning they could process more chunks of data in the same timeframe) and more memory. I won't claim to know the CPUs in all of them but their may have been other differences as well such as co-processors for graphics on the later 8-bit systems.

But, like I said, I'm just being pedantic!

I already have the audio extracted, converted and put on my SD card. It's fun to listen to the trailer audio as you fall asleep.

I'm glad that everyone is finally seeing some good in Bplus' work, and I hope that it can live up to this small-scale-hype I've been looking forward to this since I got myself some details on it a couple of weeks ago, and the trailer only makes it seem better as well. Hopefully, Chicken Brutus is right though, and we won't have to wait long to give it a go.

@Metakirbyknight: Agreed - the music is really catchy, and I love it. If you're interested, "Kubi's Song" is available as part of the Bplus Soundtrack part 4 on the Bplus forums, and I love it.

Yes, it's a wonderful parody of how a franchise plays exactly the same despite the different (and dubious representation of some) generations.

No! I'ts Bplus and man does that game look repetitive and ugly as hell.- the 8-bit and 16-bit sections are about as good as it gets. The 64-bit and 128-bit visuals are plain laughable but I expected nothing less.

Hopefully this game will skip a generation - or twelve - and come out when I'm dead

@Calculon: GIVE THE GAME A CHANCE.

I'm with you, Virus. Was intrigued by the premise, thought it was going to be more like Retro Game Challenge, with different types of gameplay... but it's just one maze after another, with updated textures and graphics along the way? Hmm. I'll stick with the Bit.Trip games to quench my need for games with Bit in the title.

This is Bplus we're talking about. I'm staying far away... This is probably trying to grab some cash by putting "Bit" in the name.

This ain't gonna work unless they add different types of gameplay. Emulating times that pretty much feel the same but with slowdown and other problems? It seems to retain the B+ way, sadly.

Yeah... So it's Pac-Man... Only charmless and ugly... That's a swell idea... I mean really...

I'll wait for reviews.

i'll probably pass. doesnt look like much fun

@Wiiloveit. Calculon? Give a Wiiware game a chance? That's crazy talk!

This one's goin' on my radar. This just might be the first B+ game worth playing.
