Bit Boy!! to bring a 'retrorama' to WiiWare

An arcade-action game in the classic form, Bit Boy!! charges players with exploring levels that parody various graphical styles from the history of video games, from the 4-bit to 128-bit eras.

Austrian studio Bplus is a specialist in the development of WiiWare games, and has previously released puzzle-shooter Plättchen and platformer Niki.

"Everyone knows that Bplus really is a crazy company. We lifted up a gearwheel to the top of evolution and let it fight against evil Plättchen 6 billion years in the future. We transformed a boy into a ball, only to let him become a rock to stand up against metal crabs and flying trees," said Bplus art director Bernd Geiblinger.

"With Bit Boy!!, we created a fantastic new arcade adventure that is delivered together with all its never-before-seen prequels from the different videogame eras. From ages 14 to 40, each Bit Generation will spark true retro feelings in all players when they set off in the ultimate pursuit of fruits and highscores."

While a US release is still unconfirmed pending approval from Nintendo, European customers will be able to download the game for 600 WiiPoints from July 3rd.
