NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
Nintendo reaches back to the dawn of the video
gaming timeline and finds inspiration in PONG for
the first volume of Bit Generations. Relive the
olden days with four variations of paddle-meets-ball
and a fifth game that's reminiscent of Juggler.
» Pool Flower: Bat a ball against another
player on a bubble-filled playfield. The bubbles
serve as directional modifiers with a literal twist.
» Box Juggling: Maneuver a stick figure and
hit boxes to bounce them up.
» Power Slider: Smack a ball by controlling a
man on an ice rink.
» Human League: A doubly good time with
2-vs-2 ball bouncing action where the
paddles are strung up on taut lengths of string.
» Wild Go Round: Record player serves as
playfield for Pong variant.

NCS Game Notes
» In Pool Flower, two grey silhouette
men clutch a red or blue paddle and bat a ball back
and forth between each other. As the ball hits each
paddle, it takes on the color of the paddle. Push,
shove, and ricochet the ball around the screen while
blue and red bubbles slowly filter into the screen.
If the ball is blue and heads into a blue bubble,
it'll pass through and cause the bubble to shimmy a
little bit. If the blue ball hits a red bubble,
it'll bounce off and carom back at you. As more
bubbles waft into screen, the physics and mechanics
of game play get tricky with the ball bouncing every
which way between paddles and bubbles.
» Box Juggling - a square of a man at the
bottom of the screen moves left and right while
hitting squares with his retractable arms. When
yellow boxes drift near the subject's upright arms,
shove them up to send them flying into the air.
» Power Slider - two customized paddles are
affixed to the rim of a figure 8 rink that's been
turned on its side. With the attached scooper, smack
the ball around the rink in an effort to blow it
past your COM-controlled opponent. Whenever the ball
drops into the rink, it'll deposit a little obstacle
which will change the trajectory of the ball if it
connects. After a while, many obstacles dot the
rink.
» Human League - There's blue and yellow
sides split in the middle of the screen. Two red
paddles are located on the blue side and two blue
paddles sit on the yellow side. All paddles are held
aloft by tensile string. Move the dual paddles
around (up, down, left, right) within the range of
the string while hitting a ball. Get it past your
opponent to score points. As a paddle hits the ball,
it'll exclaim various sayings such as "RAAAA!" and "YEEEE!!"
to spice up the action.
» Wild Go Round - Two barrier carrying
figures are mounted to the rim of a record player
with a record in the center titled "Boundish." One
figure is colored red and the other is colored blue.
Smack the ball around in an attempt to send it
sailing past an opponent. Whenever the blue figure
hits the ball, the center of the record label
changes color to blue. Likewise, when red man hits
the ball, the record label switches to red. As the
ball is hit across through the surface of the vinyl,
it'll spin slightly to change the English for tricky
and unpredictable turns.
