I think putting all the kiddie stuff in a separate website would be a good idea...

But then again they wouldn't have that many games left for their "grown up's" website lol

I would have preferred a "first"

Me too, that said, this looks grand to me.

Girlfriend's micro hasn't seen a non-harvest moon game in months.

That website looks very nice - love the styling :-)
Shame I can't read japanese as those games look very interesting indeed - any idea if there will be US/European versions?

I like the look of the funny coloury liney one. Like a 2d Rez or something.

Agree with dj - those games do look interesting. Like Touch Generation, perfect pick-up-and-play stuff with a correspondingly lower price point.

With market saturation on the more complex and bigger titles, looks like Nintendo have found another profitable niche for themselves.

I've only seen a small amount of footage showing these games off, and whilst they look interesting, I'm not sure they warrant being separate games. I spose we'll have to wait and see how substantial they are.

Could Nintendo not release them all on one cart, or even 2 volumes if they're feeling extra greedy?

These look reet stylish.

Nintendo - release them in DS lite shaped cartridges too, please!

I like the music. We need more little games like this. How could they NOT release them in the English-speaking world, when we have crap like the atari classic ports stinking up the platform?

My impression was that each cart had several (3 to 5) types of minigame on it already - the different carts being different themed collections. I could be completely wrong though, I can't read japanese :-)

They are releasing in the US as the the "digiluxe" series, IIRC.

EDIT: And they are releasing them all seperately, also IIRC.

SoundVoyager is by far the most promising I think. I mean, a rhythm-action game that requires no visuals at all? Just sound?

WOW.

Something worth dusting my GBA for, although with this weather I've finally been able to make some progress on Boktai recently. This seems a more direct plug into the fun-bone though. Hypnotic addictive gaming like Wario Ware Twisted.

i'm happy they're changing the names of these overseas though. Bit-G does sound a bit "bitchy"...

The logos look very Designers Republic-ish, don't they?
