Bit Boy!! Wii Ware Review

[NonPlayerCharacterLP]

epic review this made me buy a coleco vision oh and how did you get your wii menu color different?

[xDarkSensex]

Great game, but sadly, too short

[DEIVION212]

Agreed, and it's dissapointing that the sequel (Kid of) never hit anywhere outside of Japan, something I have complained to Bplus about.

But I know they're busy doing new games for the 3DS, so I understand.

[SavedByGODsGrace777]

Really good review. I'm not really a high score gamer though. I guess I'll skip this one. :P

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

[SuperNintendoGameboy]

BPlus games actually thanked you and some other person in the credits of the Operations Guide for Bit Boy

[jewifeifei]

this game is mulitplayer? all this time i didnt know that...

[ColBarnaby]

Don't you think that the fact that you're in the credits trump how objective you could possibly be?

[DEIVION212]

As I don't score the game, only mention my personal opinion, and everything else I mention is a fact, then no.

If I'd given the game a 10 at the end of the vid and made shit up, then yeah, I could've seen where your argument comes from.

But it's almost like you've not even bothered to watch the vid to see how it's unbiased and just decided to try to be clever and leap on me.

In all honesty, the game's not worth more than a 7, I said so on the Bplus forums and say it here. Niki = much better.

[moronicron]

it was a good game but it would have cool if there was something like a level editor or something.

[GameReviewsYoshi]

only review on youtube but there isnt even a gameplay video

[DEIVION212]

Well I know the trailers are up from Bplus, but yeah, Bplus unfortunatly never recieve any love.

And I'm honoured to have been the first Plattchen Reviewer, the first Niki Reviewer and the first Bit Boy Reviewer.

I've been the first to do a few other WW games too, like Maboshi :D

Pretty sure I done Nyx before anyone else too :D

[supersonicxshadow]

just got this it was fun , hard at first but fun ^^

[DEIVION212]

Glad to hear it :)

[bluekentuckyboy]

i beated bit boy!! and I saw deivion212 in the credits

[DEIVION212]

Yup :)

Good mates with the Bernd :)

But that never means bias in the vids because I don't score the games, so the only thing that people can say is biased is where I say that I find it fun. And even then, that's my opinion :)

[bluekentuckyboy]

if you like pac-man you wii love this game

[jake19962]

some crappy looking games look bad

but onece you play them its some times fun(most of the time anyway)

=!

[DEIVION212]

Yup, that's what I was saying. I've got a lot that I though I'd hate and then loved them, but with the Bit Trip's, not only do they look meh, they seem VERY basic and I also hate rythmn games.

So there's a lot going against me buying them.

[StrawberryGuy86]

I might check out this game once it comes to Wii Shop Australia. I mean, it only cost 600 points, and I think it's a good price for a game like this.

[BlutoDaBoss21]

Bit*

[SentorPaco]

your name is in the credits :O

[DEIVION212]

Yup, was in the last game.

But before you acuse me of bias, please re-watch the vid and point out where the bias could be. Everything is either fact or opinion.

[TheT113]

"It's here for people who like Red Bull games"? What?

[DEIVION212]

If you show me where then I'll try and say it, but I say several things about who it's for so it could be one of many.

Just hit the timer, if you do this 0:03 then it'll take me to it.

[dorbabil]

retro

[PaulDoucetteOwns]

he said retro.

[PrinzessinRamode]

Are you forced to use the Wiimote or does Nintendo actually give you the freedom to use a real controller?

[DEIVION212]

Wiimote either on it's side or as a virtual joystick (Hold upright and then tilt).

[thaneros]

I love this neo-retro-revolution going on this gen!

[BlutoDaBoss21]

agreed But Trip Core is awesome!

[DEIVION212]

Is it the same as Bit Trip Beat?

Because I hate rythmn (SP) games and if so then I won't be buying Core either.

[BlutoDaBoss21]

not exacly the same you control all the axis now

[DEIVION212]

Yeah seen some footage of it now and I just don't get why people would willingly pay for it.

It looks like a free flash game, both of them do to be fair.

But you never know, I have tons of games that I thought looked terrible and I really enjoyed.

[cheatboy111]

bit trip core is also multiplayer. both wiimotes have to be on when you start the game. then you can play co op, even though theres no menu option for it. its kinda pointless though, since player one and player 2 control the same axis. so, when p1's hands get tired,p2 can continue where p1 left off.

[BlutoDaBoss21]

lol havent tried multiplayer yet hahaa sounds lame.

[112048112048]

lol when he says gotcha it sound like:

duckshit...

[fmfpictures]

a nintendo mag gave this game 31%

[DEIVION212]

Yup, ONM.

[PrinzessinRamode]

@fmfpictures, that's because gamers today only care about graphics. I'm a gamer who prefers gameplay over graphics which is why I say Solar Fox for Atari is more entertaining than most XBox titles.

[fmfpictures]

im with you there on the gameplay over graphics. i woul rather play old mega drive 2D games over full 3D adventure games anyday.

[JOKER92092]

they should do a mario sonic or megaman game like this

[DEIVION212]

They've done a Mega Man in retro style, 9.

But I would like to see an old but new Mario and Sonic.

[LordFeckington666]

Umm...Your Wii menu's BLACK!? HOW?!

[KaiserGX]

Thats the meno for the SD card storage.

[LordFeckington666]

Wow. I'm a dumb shit. But thanks!

[DEIVION212]

I wouldn't call yourself dumb just for not knowing why it was back.

I get tons of people asking who didn't even know that the update was out.

Doesn't bother me and it doesn't make people stupid.

I only get the updates right away because I am always checking for them on everything :)

But that's because I'm never happy with what we've got and I'm always hoping that fixes are coming soon, lol.

[LordFeckington666]

Haha! Thanks, mate. It's just, I don't have an SD card so I never use that feature. SO I didn't remember that there's a black menu!

[DEIVION212]

Well exactly, you never use the damned thing so why remember it?

There's tons of things on the PS3 that I never knew were there simply because I never use them.

Started to use the odd application though so I'm glad that they're their, lol.

[apanrobert]

Good review!

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

[MattTheSpratt]

I feel the developers should have used different music and sound for each era.

[KaiserGX]

I hope im wrong but... did you show 64 Bit? I didn't see any cure spring enemies from the 64 Bit world.

[DEIVION212]

Yeah I did show it off but I didn't realise that the reason the camera was top down was because it is in co-op, and I only shown off co-op footage.

So... D'OH! XD

[SuperCamMan20]

B-PLUS is AWESOME

[DEIVION212]

Yup :)

[TheNintendoMaster03]

It looks like retro heaven on WiiWare. I'm definately gonna get this.

[PhyA52]

Great review. Wish I could have seen the 3D camera though.

[DEIVION212]

Sorry about that, it does show it in their official trailer but I just forgot about it and only shown co-op, lol.

Thanks :)

[PhyA52]

Not a big deal. On the flip side, you actually show co-op, which is much more important to me. Most reviewers don't even do that.

[DEIVION212]

I know, annoys the hell out of me that.

If it's not a good co-op or not really important, I'll miss it out. But if it's something big, I'll try to add it.

Obviously it depends on if my bro's round when I record them, because my mate laughs too much, lol.

[matt10matt10matt10]

How many pints was it?

Plez Reply ASAP

[Ivaria]

600 Wii Points

[McKrunk13]

Nice touch on the ending with the music. Is that song from the game or that Bplus thing?

[DEIVION212]

Yeah, they let me use it, lol.

That's why the top 10's are coming back though, because I need music to do them and they're letting me use their tracks :D

[KnuxSonic8]

Great review, indeed. Well done on this one! I love high-scores and I'm really happy to see that Bit Boy turned out as well as I thought it would! Definitely looks better/more fun than Niki.

And yeah, Vektor Tank does looks great. :D

Go BPlus!!

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

[tlclpd]

it looks like pac-man

[DEIVION212]

It kinda is, only not, if you know what I mean?

[MasterMario22]

Great review! I'm very interested in the look of it (considering I love retro although those retro games weren't my time) So it looks cool!

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

[ccmmss84]

Great review! I am also impressed how incredibly fast you did this!

Bit Boy!! is retro awesomeness.

If you consider yourself a gamer and you don't get emotional playing this game you are dead inside!

[lxlANDlxl]

it does wake childhood memories of the good ol' pixelated nazi's in wolfenstein 3D

But most of all... 8-bit super mario

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

Lol, yeah brought some good memories back, love the skippable loading times too XD

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

SD Card Menu, update came out almost 3 years ago now.

[echoray2736]

sweet

[Shadowpower7]

Great review as always Demon!

BIT BOY!

I shall buy just to support Bplus from Wii Wankers

[DEIVION212]

Thanks :)

Well whyever you buy it, I'm sure you'll have fun :D

[PKoAwesome]

LOOKS COOL
