We reported earlier on how Japanese members of Club Nintendo (those lucky bastards!) would be able to test the latest in retro-GBA games, the Bit Generation Series. It seems that the series is getting more serious, and perhaps the testing is done! - Nintendo of Japan has just launched the official site for Bit Generations, which can be found here. The good news is it’s got some pretty pictures and icons for the new games. The bad news, of course, is that you won’t be able to read it unless you can read Japanese.

According to Joystiq, the site says that you’ll be able to purchase the first set of games for about $17 (so look for it in that price range on eBay!), on July 17th, and the second set will show up about 2 weeks later for the same price. Here’s hoping that these games don’t have a ton of Japanese menus. It looks like they could be great fun to try out once they make it over the Pacific.
