According to Nintendo, games in the Art Style series emphasize "elegant design, polished graphics, and pick-up-and-play controls" that create "an experience focused purely on fun and engaging game play." [4] WiiWare titles released in the series cost 600 Nintendo Points, while DSiWare titles cost 500 points. [2]
Art Style was preceded by a series of seven similar games for the Game Boy Advance called bit Generations . The bit Generations series came late in the life of the system and have not been released in Western territories, however some of those games have since been remade as Art Style games (with the exception of dotstream, which was given a sequel titled light trax).
