open-in-new
<p><i>bit Generations</i> is a <a href="/facts/Video_game/vmTdNASJ">video game</a> franchise for the <a href="/facts/Game_Boy_Advance/oRJksVAa">Game Boy Advance</a>, published by <a href="/facts/Nintendo/dMrLpaHu">Nintendo</a>. It was first announced under the name <i>Digitylish</i> at the <a href="/facts/Electronic_Entertainment_Expo/0tq1j8qq">Electronic Entertainment Expo</a> (E3) in 2005. Each of the games in the series feature simple controls, gameplay and graphics. All the games were developed by <a href="/facts/Skip_Ltd./st0YTI8x">Skip Ltd.</a>, except for <i>Digidrive</i>, which was developed by <a href="/facts/Q-Games/XXXz5u6g">Q-Games</a>. </p><p>The <i>bit Generations</i> series has only been released in Japan. The games were released in two "series" - the games in Series One were released in Japan on July 13, 2006. Series Two was released on July 27, 2006. However, from June 1, 2006, Nintendo had sent out 700 copies of the games to random <a href="/facts/Club_Nintendo/JnjVuqBa">Club Nintendo</a> members, encouraging them to preview the games and to post their opinions at the <i>bit Generations</i> official website. Each game costs 2000 yen. </p><p>In March 2006, some of the games were given an <a href="/facts/Entertainment_Software_Rating_Board/hSKzzqmG">ESRB</a> rating and were labelled under the title <i>Digilux Series</i>. However, Nintendo of America did not announce a release of the series in North America. Stickers depicting the game logos in <i><a href="/facts/Super_Smash_Bros._Brawl/W6ArhU6U">Super Smash Bros. Brawl</a></i> indicated that the game series was intended to be released under the title <i>Digilux</i> outside Japan. Some of the games were eventually released under the <i><a href="/facts/Art_Style/ahAF2AqY">Art Style</a></i> banner for the <a href="/facts/WiiWare/lXoc0e5Y">WiiWare</a> and <a href="/facts/DSiWare/HXk8lcdG">DSiWare</a> services. </p>
