I read the article. Congratulations. Wow, that sure looks improved. The Japanese lucked out...again...like they always do...leaving us Yankees in the dust...like every time... 
I want this in America.  It could re rereleased as a special edition, like Daytona USA: Championship Circuit Edition for Saturn. |

BIT MAN!! is looking awesome!! New levels, enemies and more play time (6 hours to complete), sign me up!! I hope it's released in the US.
Have you ever thought of including a random level/maze generator, that would give the game infinite playability It could be a special mode you unlock after completing the game, kind of like Turbo mode in BIT BOY!!. |

| If there will be enough positive buzz for Bit Man!! we will definitely think about releasing it – or an even more advanced version – in the Western territories. |
Positive buzz positive buzz positive buzz

| My soundtrack nerd senses are pleased. If Bit Man!! gets enough positive buzz, besides the magical western version, will you also try to pioneer PLÄTTCHEN and Niki? And do a few extras like new fantasies/world and (PLEASE!!!!) new songs for the Bplus Soundtrack? |

| I know we can expect some previews from NintenDaan when it hits Japan. Sorry I haven't been on the forums before it's just there wasn't anymore game news for Vektor Man and stuff. |

We internally call it "Bit Boy!! 1.5" 
So it is not an official successor to our loved Bit Boy!!-The Original!  |

| Maybe we should have a petition to get "Bit Boy 1.5" (though I personally prefer Bit Boy Plus) released in America and Europe. Games get rereleased all the time, so why not? |

Our partner Marvelous Entertainment Inc. had some meetings behind closed doors with press some weeks ago and they let us know that the japanese press are not just very excited but totally crazy on Bit Man!! - let's hope that the sales will be good because it works the way like DEMON212 said
Learning Japanese is not that easy - let us start if the main phrase:
BIT MAN = ビットマン |

How will that help? We'd be better off asking them to sign petitions to get the Japanese version released in America. |

Marvelous now uploaded a video interview with Louis Lamarre, who helped us a lot with the localisation, on Marveoulous' official website:
http://www.mmv.co.jp/special/game/wiiware/wgp/
(I hope your Japanese is good enough)
Click the second button in "BIT MAN!!" to watch the video.
BIT MAN!! will be released in Japan on March 30th, 2010. |

Good to hear, Marvelous must know a good thing when they see it 
So what exactly are the differences between man and boy, or is it just a name, and if so, why the name change? |

Sometimes it is just so easy: Scroll-up and read
You find the answer on that and many other questions in the recently posted Interview:
We are all very happy with Marvelous and they are also very happy with us - so I think this partnership has much potential.

THANKS A LOT!!
You also let me know that it is currently on position 3 (THREE) in the Wii ShopChannel charts, which is awesome! And that just 3 days after its release!
What do you like most in BIT MAN!! ?? |

Yes, many fans wished that the soundtrack also goes with the evolution and not just chiptunes... and in BIT MAN!! we followed all your wishes as good as we can!
128-BIT got a complete new song and 32-BIT's song also got a small lifting. 64-BIT song is the same but now played with instruments!
Great to hear that you like it that much. So you are just playing 32-BIT-Generation because of its advanced song?

| Nah, it was always my favourite, for the nostalgic value-I started playing games in the 16-bit era, but really got INTO in in the 32-bit era. |

Ah I see... and... do you SKIP THE LOADING-SCREEN? or watch it all the time?
Sometimes I just forget about skipping it and wait... wait... wait... unusual for a Nintendogame having that unusual long loadings... but I am still waiting *fg*
Did you all watch the Video from Marvelous? I'm loving it! |

I'm really enjoying Bit Man!! at the moment. Suprised about the changes in the difficulty, it makes the game so more challenging and a blast to play through. 128bit was for me the biggest change: galaxy background, easy to fall down and robots!
I wished Europe & America could experience this version
And guys, Bit Man!! isn't in the Top 20 now. Give it some time though, because Zombie Panic managed to reach #2, despite not being a franchise. Japan is very franchise orientated region, so that Marvelous is behind the games really seems to work |
