Who said the GBA was dead? A sister series to the DS's 'Touch Generations', the 'Bit Generations' are a retro-themed batch of titles that now has its own website. The idea of the series is that it's basically a software experiment run by Nintendo to try and get in touch with the 'basic essence of video games.' There are currently seven games in the generation that are hitting stores in two batches, two weeks apart. The site has detailed explanations of all the games - Dotstream, Boundish, Dialhex (which are all out now), Coloris, Orbital, Digidrive and Soundvoyager (coming in two weeks). The common graphical style can be seen in the promo vids. It's pretty sweet. While we don't know whether the series will hit the west, they're sold for cheap, so importing shouldn't be a real issue if necessary.
