bit Generations started life as the Digitylish series, a collection of simplistic but very artistic games for the Game Boy Advance. We first heard about it when a bunch of odd names were trademarked by Nintendo Japan at the start of 2005. Later the series turned up in an interview with someone at Nintendo Europe. An exhibition was held in Tokyo in April/May this year and now the games are finally being released.
