What is Art Style: Orbient? Watch and find out

by David Hinkle { Sep 29th 2008 at 2:33PM }

The Nintendo Channel updated with fresh videos today, most important of which is a gameplay video showing off Nintendo's new WiiWare title, Art Style: Orbient. Our own JC noted that the title looked a lot like Orbital, a Bit Generations game for the GBA. Sure enough, it is!

Head past the break for some gameplay footage of Nintendo's new game.

Someone also uploaded the first stage of the game, so check that out below.

Perhaps Art Styles will be a series like Bit Generations.
Anyway, this is awesome, speaking as someone who bought Orbital and didn't regret it.

Nintendo does tend to do some very beautiful nonconventional games

Also: That opening screen you have for your videos is creepy as fuck.

Interesting game.

I think I've played a flash game like this. You absorb smaller planets to get bigger, so you can then absorb larger planets. It was fun until I ran out of the few levels available.

So who made this game anyway because they had some great marketing :P but no really who did make this game?

Skip limited, not Nintendo. Same studio behind GiFTPiA, Chibi-Robo, and Captain Rainbow.

Interesting idea, but not something I'd spend money on.

That's a shame, this is probably the best use of $6 that I can possibly imagine. I adored this game on the GBA and it's even better now. One of the all time great gaming concepts. Art in Gameplay.
