bit Generations-esque Art Style covers by Stephen Gibson (click for a larger version).
“The Art Style series on DSi is the perfect follow-up to the bit Generations series. The one thing that didn’t make the jump to digital distribution though was the stylish little boxes that each game came in. I decided to try and create artwork for each of the new games, following the same structure and style of the bit Generations boxes.
And yes, these are the Japanese logos. Since the original packages were Japan-only (and half of these aren’t out in the US and Europe yet), I decided to use those to begin. I’ll put together some Western variations soon.”
The deviantArt watermark is distracting, but other than that, these are great, very much like the original minimalist bit Generations covers.
[Update: Stephen removed the watermark! Yay!]
In other Art Style news, apparently Nalaku released in Europe as Kubos last week. What’s the deal with Europe having five (out of six) Art Style titles, while the U.S. only has two? At this rate, autumn will arrive before North America receives Hacolife.

“Aquatic stages, as a rule, are stressful experiences, whether its the frantic search for air bubbles in Sonic the Hedgehog’s Labyrinth Zone, or the timed underwater bomb-defusion in the original TMNT.
Art Style: Aquia, though not a platformer or action game like those two, captures that same sense of aquatic anxiety, that dizzy madness you see in a deep sea diver’s eyes, through the iron gate of his rusty helmet, as he realizes that his air line has been cut, and that he has descended much too far to be saved.”
If you don’t want to wait for PiCOPiCT or HacoLife to spend your free Nintendo Points on, grab Aquia — it’s the best DSiWare release of the bunch, for really reals. WarioWare: Snapped is a headache.
