Friday Video: Generations


We found inspiration for today's video in the discussion about Q-Games' mysterious DS title. We referred to their bit Generations game Digidrive in that post, but it really takes a look at the game in motion to understand it. And even that probably won't fully explain it. Since we never got any of the bit Generations games in the U.S., this may be your first look at one of these abstract, experimental, weird GBA games. If you like what you see, you can get the game for $10 right now at Play-Asia, along with Dialhex and Boundish.

We have enough trouble keeping Q-Games and Q? Entertainment (Tetsuya Mizuguchi's company) separate in our minds. Q-Games doing a game like this doesn't help.

Q-Games working on unannounced DS game

Q-Games alternates between independent development and "second-party" status with Nintendo. That's just one of the perks of having helped create Star Fox, as founder Dylan Cuthbert did. Lately, they've been making the PixelJunk series of high-res downloadable games for the PlayStation Network, having finished up Star Fox Command for Nintendo.

Cuthbert revealed in a Siliconera interview that, in addition to a new PixelJunk title, the company is working on another DS game for Nintendo. Will it be a Star Fox sequel or something interesting? As developers of the Bit Generations title Digidrive, Q-Games has shown a flair for abstract stuff.

Play-Asia has awesome GBA sale for cheap people

Play-Asia is clearing out a bunch of GBA stuff, and passing the disappointment losses savings on to you, the customer! They've marked some very interesting items down to very interesting prices, and as of right now there are still limited quantities available of most of it.

Three of the bit Generations games, Digidrive, Boundish, and Dialhex, are available for $9.90 each, and Soundvoyager for $14.90. Donkey Kong: King of Swing is only $7.90. Perhaps most excitingly, the Japanese version of Mother 3 (as if there is any other version) is marked down to $14.90. There's a nice selection of cheapo Japanese games, so get out your iMoney and start e-browsing those virtual shelves!

Play-Asia's summer smoothie sale

For the next week, online shop Play-Asia will be selling all of its in-stock items at a 20% discount, excluding weekly specials or anything released in the past 30 days -- cross Jump Ultimate Stars and Doki Doki Majo Shinpan off of your to-buy list. All of the import retailer's eligible products have been marked with the smoothie icon shown on the right, so it's easy to spot which games are on sale. We've picked out several noteworthy bargains that you might want to consider:
  • Moero! Nekketsu Rhythm Damashii Osu! Tatakae! Ouendan 2 - $39.12
  • Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Justice for All - $23.92
  • Naruto: Saikyo Ninja Daikesshu 4 - $15.92
  • Gyakuten Saiban 4 Limited Edition - $103.92
  • bit Generations: Orbital, Soundvoyager, Dialhex, Boundish, Digidrive - all $11.92
  • Urban Life Style Cases, White and Light Blue - $10.32
  • Headsets, Nintendo - $10.32, Dragon - $5.52
  • Play Stand DS Lite - $11.92
Though the sale doesn't end until next Friday, a lot of these items won't stay in-stock for long. Don't be that guy who has to leave a comment about missing out on a particular deal!
