Oooh, the commenters cocked their guns before they shot this one down. Although it doesn't deserve treatment THIS bad, it does leave a lot to be desired from what I've seen so far. I'll buy this when it comes to the NA but my current verdict on this is a 7/10 not highly recommended game. Although it IS amusing to see everyone squirm with the usual defenders and the haters. Suprising to see the neutral ones siding for and against it equally, despite my love for Bplus, I think this one's a dud as I never really liked it in the first place as an attempt to redeem themselves by making a game people would like since they tried going with the retro fad. Should've stuck to your guns Bplus, but I will withold anymore comments until I have tried it.

I was really looking forward to this up until I saw a vid with gameplay footage straight from the final version and now I can only see myself yawning at it. It really just looks like an inferior Pac-Man clone with few new ideas, trying to profit from the current retro craze.

I loved the idea of moving to different bit generations but the execution seems to be a bit disappointing. I think the game would have been better if it changed up the gameplay a bit more, as real games did when they moved generation to generation. The Legend of Zelda series didn't stay top-down when it moved to 3D, it completely changed perspectives and changed a bit of gameplay too. That would have been a good idea for Bit Boy!! as well: change from top-down Pac-man like mazes to 3D collect-a-thon platformers like Banjo. (or at least that would be one way to go with it)
