'Bonk: Brink of Extinction' (ALL) - New Screens

by Rainier on July 28, 2010 @ 3:38 p.m. PDT

After years of hibernation, Bonk returns in the brand new game Bonk: Brink of Extinction. This digital download title will update the classic side scrolling adventure of the original Bonk titles with 3D graphics, new enemies, online play and much more.

The updated side scrolling adventure features next generation graphics meets retro gameplay style.  With classic 2D platforming in a 3D world, Bonk: Brink of Extinction combines new enemies, collectables, downloadable content and online play for the first time in the series.

Bonk: Brink of Extinction is an all new downloadable adventure featuring story mode with co-op play.  The loveable caveman Bonk and his huge head returns to save the world from a doomsday comet on a collision course with Earth.  Meanwhile the comet’s magnetic field is driving the planet’s creatures crazy and smaller bits of debris are smashing into the jungle near Bonk's home.  Bonk must swim, bite, climb, jump, run and headbutt his way through jungles, deserts and volcanic caverns while earning power ups, reaching check points and gaining extra health on a perilous journey to the very center of the planet.  Bonk: Brink of Extinction also features new transformations as Bonk morphs into eight different forms by eating meat or encountering Primordial Ooze. 

Initially made for NEC’s TurboGrafx-16 console in 1990, Bonk’s Adventure was a platform adventure title that earned a committed fan base and earned Game of the Year honors.  Bonk’s Revenge and Bonk 3: Bonk’s Big Adventure followed up the classic title on TurboGrafx-16.  Nintendo also featured Bonk in the Gameboy title also named Bonk’s Revenge and Super Bonk for the Super NES.  With the introduction of the Nintendo Wii's Virtual Console, Hudson brought back Bonk's Adventure as the first title available under the TurboGrafx-16 library.
