    This was released on the PC quite a while ago (a year or more?)
    [www.bigfishgames.com]

    I disagree with the need to count moves. They add enough interesting tweaks to keep the game interesting until the end.

    Would anyone buy this after the disaster of a "haunted house simulator" that was released earlier this year? This sounds slightly more intriguing, but I'm sure only the best parts were shown and, after the first game, can't imagine this one coming together in any way positive enough to get people to shell out $50. Can your character, at the very least, move more than .2 miles per hour? Gah! I hated the first Wii "game." I'll keep my eye on this, only because I love survival horror. But unless there are some huge improvements, I won't be picking it up if/when it's eventually released. #calling

    Does it strike anyone else as really bizarre that this game would be on other platforms?

    The original Bonk was for TurboGrafx 16. In Japan, this system was called the "PC Engine." In Japan, where Hudson is based, Bonk was called "PC Genjin" (genjin is prehistoric man or caveman) so... it'd be kind of like Nintendogs for PSP.

    Not that I'm complaining about more Bonk! Just weird that his name is a pun for a different console... I wonder if this is coming out in Japan? #bonkbrinkofextinction

    @fuchikoma: Bonk has actually already been released on pretty much every system out there ... except for Sega systems, I believe (I could be wrong about that) -- so, no it's not very weird. #bonkbrinkofextinction

    @jayntampa: Oh yeah, he's been all over Nintendo's systems. I just think it's funny that he was kind of made to be more platform-mascot than even Mario, yet the series is so multiplatform. Like if Mario had Nintendo in his name somehow, and then came out on the Dreamcast. :p #bonkbrinkofextinction

    I'm all over this! I still play TG-16 on a regular basis. It's my favorite old system, and I have a pile to choose from. Bonk's Revenge is one of the best games on any system. #bonkbrinkofextinction

    Wasn't Bonk on Turbografx or neo geo? I don't remember him on NES.

    Either way, I am all for modern technology remakes of old style games. I think Shadow Complex was the most fun I had with a video game in a long time, but it should have been a little harder. Bionic Commando: Rearmed was good too, including the way out of my league super hard setting. #bonkbrinkofextinction

    @BlueBeard: Bonk was TG-16's mascot, but he was ported to NES and those are really expensive due to their rarity, even though the TG-16 version is superior in every way. #bonkbrinkofextinction

    @High Speed Indeed: I thought so. Those less popular systems(only because they were too expensive) are probably goldmines of rehash content. Let's see some Colecovision remakes! (I'm still bitter, I bought my Coleco then 2 games before they went under) #bonkbrinkofextinction

    In reply to Skate 3 Preview: Peer Pressure Is On
    While I did put Skate 1 away after about a month, I'd say the only thing keeping me from buying 2 and 3 are that 1 seemed so complete... I mean... one stick for board, one stick for body, and it's intuitive enough to quickly get, and hard enough to train and train on. I really didn't find myself going "you know, this could use a ____." Pretty shocking for a brand new(?) game idea really. #skate3

    "I have an enormous soft spot for Bonk because his game was synonymous with "the cool babysitter is coming over tonight and he's bringing his Nintendo."

    And you played a TurboGraphix 16 game on the Nintendo how? #bonkbrinkofextinction
