Bonk is Back

This is the type of stuff I talked about in my post earlier on what I would like to see on WiiWare. The return of classic platformers. Hudson announced today that Bonk is coming to WiiWare in Bonk: Brink of Extinction scheduled for release next Spring 2010.

• Story Mode with Co-Op play. Play alone or have a friend join you at any time!
• An entire new adventure with Bonk as he swims, bites, climbs, jumps, runs, and head-butts his way through jungles, deserts and volcanic caverns
• Search for help along the way: power ups, check points, and extra health are the staple for every adventuring caveman.
• Transformations are back and weirder than ever! Now Bonk can transform himself into eight different forms by eating meat or encountering Primordial Jelly. No enemy is safe from the boy with the super noggin!

New Features
• Online play for the first time in the series!
• New enemies with incredible variations in personalities and abilities. Beware the Raptor Unicycle Tank!
• Classic 2D platforming in a 3D world.
• Tons of collectibles will have you searching the entire prehistoric world.

If you haven't played a Bonk game before I recommend you head to the Virtual Console and download Bonk's Revenge right now!!
