Now You Can Bonk On Your Gamecube

Posted by simoniker on from the just-bc-kidding dept.

Thanks to an anonymous reader for pointing to a Gamepro article announcing Gamecube remakes of classic HudsonSoft games, including Bonk's Adventure (BC Kid) and Adventure Island. According to the article, "Bonk and Adventure Island are the latest in Hudson's new Japan-only GC budget library. The series is set to debut in Japan on July 10 with the release of two games: Star Soldier and Cubic Lode Runner." Sadly, there's no news on US release dates yet.

  1. Turbo Express by swat_r2 · · Score: 2, Interesting

    When I was 12 I lusted after the Turbo Express handheld TG-16, which I believe was the first handheld with equivalant power of the home console. It was insanely priced (around $300 back then) and with my Paperboy budget is was waaaay out of reach.

    I remember those good old days, with the TG16 and Genesis out before the Super Nintendo, the console wars back then were impressive and sadly the TG-16 couldn't handle competition from Sega and Nintendo.

    Remember Splatterhouse? Next to Bonk that was one of the games I couldn't wait to get my hands on. Even though I've played the the TG-16 on my Xbox thanks to Hugo, it's just not the same. Ask most hardcore gamers about the TG-16 and they get a fond glint in their eye, ask everyone else and get a blank stare.
