So I was looking around on Hudson's website to see if the English minisite was up for Lost in Shadow (previously named Tower of Shadow). It wasn't listed on the main page so I started messing around with the urls to see if I could find it. I did, along with pages for several other games that as far as I know haven't been announced yet.

Oh, and here's the unfinished page for Lost in Shadow that I was originally looking for in case anyone is interested. There's some new screenshots but everything else is old news.

Lost in Shadow (Wii)

[MiloFoxburr]

ooo New Bomberman. Will buy!

I know lots of people didn't like the XBLA version but I spent so much time playing it when it first came out.

[Princess Skittles]

Ew, that Bonk game looks gross. :(

[SuperBonk]

Sweet. Not that I really care though.

[Zombie James]

Bonk looks very boring and uninspired, Bomberman looks alright.

[Drkirby]

Bomberman for all systems sounds cool. Hope it isn't to much, I am a sucker for new bomberman games.

[sixteen-bit]

Ew, that Bonk game looks gross. :(

+ how are modern gamers going to know wtf Bonk is?

Million seller confirmed.

[Nemo]

Shadow of the Tower looks interesting

[nincompoop]

Bonk is a day one purchase for me, sure it has crappy graphics but so did Adventure Island: The Beginning (which I assume was developed by the same team) and I still had a lot of fun with that one.

[wrowa]

Bonk looks like garbage and Bomberman like Bomberman. I guess I'll pass.

At least Tower of Shadow looks nice.

[Marvie_3]

Bonk looks terrible. As long as it plays well I'll still buy it.

[tetrisgrammaton]

Retro Revival Gone Wrong

[G-Fex]

Original Bonk was beautiful, it's like they gave no effort to try.

[TheUnknownForce]

Bonk is alright. Not sure how it'll translate over the platforms. Co-op's nice.

Bomberman looks like Bomberman. If people liked the last version, this new one'll be good.

Rooms sounds like a very basic puzzler. No pictures makes me concerned.

Oh, and Tower of Shadow is a retail release, I thought.

We are still waiting for Diner Dash and Military Madness, so Rooms, Bonk, and Bomberman will be released on WiiWare next year definitely.

[Stumpokapow]

lost in shadow isn't wiiware, by the way.

[jj984jj]

Uh, the latter 2 titles say Wii and the first 2 say WiiWare, why is that? Are you sure they're WiiWare?

[VAIL]

Ew, that Bonk game looks gross. :(

QFT.

ugh

[VideoMan]

lost in shadow isn't wiiware, by the way.

Ah, you're right.

Uh, the latter 2 titles say Wii and the first 2 say WiiWare, why is that? Are you sure they're WiiWare?

On the Rooms page near the top it lists the platform as both Wii and WiiWare but doesn't mention DS so who knows really.

[Nose Master]

What is the fucking fascination with ruining classics with shitty 2.5D? Jkfd;lfkjdljn

[magicalsoundshower]

I'd totally play a new Bonk game provided the level design is as good as in the first game but this looks indeed pretty damn bad, Bonk hasn't really been the same any more since they gave him that questionable makeover in Super Bonk 2.

Wasn't there a 2.5D Bonk game for PS2 or GC that looked pretty bad as well? I'mma google a bit.

[jrricky]

Uh, the latter 2 titles say Wii and the first 2 say WiiWare, why is that? Are you sure they're WiiWare?

Only Wii game up there is the shadow game.

[PSGames]

I freakin love Bonk. Day 1 purchase for me.

[Enk]

Ugh, much like Higgins they took the color and whimsicalness away from Bonk. Come on Hudson, you can do better.

[Jim]

Uggh... what did they do to Bonk?!

[FrostuTheNinja]

The new Bonk design is SHIT compared to the PS2 and Gamecube remake of the original.

Sad Hudson... Sad.

[Cat in the Hat]

Bonk is creepy as fuck

[Alphahawk]

I've always wanted to play a Bonk game, this looks like it'll be my chance.

[djdac]

Bonk should always be in 2D.

[Joe Shlabotnik]

Rooms: The Main Building

Hmm. The title doesn't exactly soar, you know?

[The Interrobanger]

Lost in Shadow looks pretty interesting. I just hope the graphics are decent enough to fully realize the concept.

[Alphahawk]

Rooms: The Main Building Hmm. The title doesn't exactly soar, you know?

Reminds me of King of the Monsters 2: The next thing.

[OMG Aero]

I think I might pass on Bomberman, that Bomberman game looks the exact same as Bomberman Live and I don't like the idea of paying just for team mode and other game modes I will never play anyway.

[MattyGrovesOrMe]

Hudson! Bring. Back. Neutopia.

[Malfunky]

Was I the only one hoping to open this thread and find a Bonk: Act Zero announcement?

[FrostuTheNinja]

Hudson! Bring. Back. Neutopia.

You sir, have fine taste in games.

[Xater]

A return of Bonk? That's one of the last things I expected.

[gkryhewy]

Hmmm... could be cool; A for effort, Hudson. I wonder how the Wii version will look.

[Icomeinpeace]

Colors seem too dark, not fitting for either title.

[sooperkool]

Bonk should be 2d

[Noogy]

I LOOOOVE Bonk, but I don't want to see it like that. HD 2D please! Where's my old Bonk fan art?

[CTLance]

And this is why I loathe 3D. Bonk should not look like that. It's obviously the superfluous D that makes him look so ugly. There's no other explanation.

All jokes aside, as much as I look forward to a (maybe even better!) new Bomberman, the "tilted" 3D view makes me hesitate.

I'm gonna need footage. Lots and lots of footage.

[jluedtke]

Hell yes! This is great news! Not sure what the problem is with the visuals, but what were you expecting? This is a pretty good way for Hudson to reintroduce the character/franchise in a relatively low-risk kind of way and gauge interest for future titles. I think it looks fine and sort of exactly how I expected it to look. Of course, I'm a Bonk fanboy so I'll take what I can get.

[Princess Skittles]

Hudson! Bring. Back. Neutopia.

Not if it will suffer this same fate. :(

[Noogy]

Not sure what the problem is with the visuals, but what were you expecting?

Bonk I and II were absolutely beautiful in their day. And the worlds were incredibly stylized. This just looks... nothing like that. Seriously, it'd take me a week to properly animate Bonk in HD.

I don't mind the backgrounds so much, but they do not feel like Bonk's world.

[FrostuTheNinja]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ6f7ntHRL8

Bonk looked just fine in 3D...

[soco]

on the 'new bonk looks like ass' bandwagon.

[Beer Monkey]

God fucking dammit MAKE A NEW 2D BOMBERMAN LIKE THE SATURN AND PC-ENGINE GAMES. Fuck the damned 3D perspective.

[nincompoop]

The new Bonk design is SHIT compared to the PS2 and Gamecube remake of the original. Sad Hudson... Sad.

Really? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=okymK...eature=related
That doesn't seem much better to me.

[Nuclear Muffin]

Bonk looks yucky and Bomberman Battlefest looks more like Bomberman Live/Ultra than Bomberman Blast (Which was the better game by far)

I'm not overly convinced.

[Enk]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJ6f7ntHRL8 Bonk looked just fine in 3D...

That looks soooo much better and more lively. Still not a fan of the changes to the character designs (especially the normal angry Bonk look), but what the hell happened to the new one here? Is this one done by the same team that did that awful looking Adventure Island game hat came out this year. Kinda looks like it.
