That looks pretty cool, and perfect for a handheld release. Any word on an Aussie release?

BTW, good review Tom. It's sometimes hard to get the more offbeat gaming concepts across in a review but this was very clear and easy to follow. Cheers. :)

Psi - It says the menus are in English - so, no problem at all.

other games in the Bit generation series:

Boundish
Dial Hex
Sound Voyager
Orbital
Digidrive
Coloris

I quite like the soundbite naming convention of the games.

So how much are they each?

The packaging really does make this series go from an 8/10 to an impossible-to-gauge /10

Kristan says that you can't invert the Y-axis in Scarface. So that's probably challenging. It's also relevant to dotstream in two ways, neither of which I will properly explain until later in the review, thus forcing you to read more of it! Ha! Hahaha!

The man, he's on the jazz...

Instead of all this jibber-jabber (none of which I understood) why can't you just put up a video review on EGTV. Describe what's happening while we watch.

I've been dreading these being good, because not only will I want to buy them all, I'll want to buy a GBA Micro to play them on too (even though I already have an SP) Luckilly I'm sure I've seen a sign in Game saying Micros can be had for £39.99.

I hope the packaging stays the same as the sexo japanese ones, even though I hate the flimsiness of Nintendo's cardboard boxes, these need framing and hanging on a wall. Actually, that's not a bad idea, if they double up as art, that makes them real value for money.

Oh, how I have yearned for a modern review with the phrase "collecting little white blobs". Thank you, Mr. Bramwell.

Also, I think this game originally appeared on the Degenatron.

Um... couldn't Nintendo just throw them into one cartridge and then sold them at a slightly-less-budget price?

They're $24.90 each at Play-Asia, that's a bit steep if you intend to collect all of them, considering the simplicity of these games.

If by that you mean "sexy as hell", then yes, it does look like gay in a box.

I don't really understand this question.

Edit: Oh I get it. It harks back to the original GBA, which came out in pink and blue, and there's already enough blue consoles on the site.
