Bit Generations (GBA) packaging is slick

1. {obvious}Wow, that looks a lot like Apple packaging!{/obvious}Just thought I'd save someone the trouble of saying that.Seriously, though, that is rather nice for a budget priced game. Think they'll get creative for Wii game packaging or will they go with the standard DVD style cases?

2. what exactly is the budget price?

3. I think Wii games will use stardard DVD cases since using unique packaging add a few bucks to their price and third parties might pass than extra to consumers.

4. Since when does good, simple package design automatically make it derivative of Apple? Seriously. And the Wii ads fit the bill much more than this does, to be honest.

5. popdemWell, Orbital is 2000 yen on Amazon.co.jp, which is a little over $17 US.

6. sykilThat packaging for Orbital is quite similar to the package my iPod nano came in. I'm not saying I think Nintendo is un-original .. I'm fairly tired of people saying everything Nintendo does is a rip-off of Apple. Basically anything with a decent design to it is immediately called "Apple-like" with intent to make it sound like a bad thing.

7. Considering the MASSIVE sucess Apple has with the product design they have and the simple packaging, if anyone does a use a simpler style it automatically looks like Apple, In case you people think Apple came u with those designs is mistaken, since their ads, since the imac have been based on the VW beetle ads of the 60's and their iPod feels based in futuristic 70's everything white and simple… They didn't invent white plastic with the ipod, computers were white years before, actually grey and creamy, Apple was the first making them black, and then used colors for the iMac and now couple witha uncluttered design looks amazing in white and simple cardbox packaging completes the package.

8. Its the elements of design. Apple didn't create those, nor should they get credit for individuals creativity. Apple is company or a fruit, its not a design. pucyapn

9. That does look pretty slick, but I still wouldn't buy one (except maybe Dotstream or Soundvoyager). I've played all of the Bit games and think they're worth at most $10, in my opinion

10. Apple has a history of innovation in design that it's competition doesn't. People recognize that when they associate good design that stands out from the competition with Apple. Getting cranky about that association doesn't change it.

11. What is bit generation? What is this

12. OMG it does NOT look like apple packaging, it looks like Nintendo packaging, sheesh. Everything Nintendo is Apple now? This is 2006 everything is now refered to as apple due to the style that is the 2000's. So what everything in the 70's was disco packaging. honestly

13. famicom83, actually it is VERY Apple like. You've probably just never bought an Apple product. And by packaging, I don't just mean the cover design.

14. Oh, come on… these days,Sleek, clean design = Apple designin everyone's mind. There is no way a packaging designer can come up with a good design without being accused of copying Apple…
