Hudson To Feature Playable Demo Of Bonk's Adventure At E3

TurboGrafx Mascot Headbutts His Way onto the Nintendo WiiTM's Virtual Console


SAN MATEO, Calif. – May 9, 2006 – Hudson Entertainment, the North American publishing arm for Hudson Soft Co., Ltd, announced today that a version of Bonk’s Adventure for Nintendo’s recently-announced Wii™ gaming system will be playable at Nintendo of America’s booth at this year’s Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3). The game will ultimately be available for purchase on the Virtual Console, Nintendo’s game download service.

Designed for western audiences, Bonk’s Adventure is a side-scrolling action game that was originally launched in Japan in December 1989 under the title “PC Genjin” on the PC engine, and in the U.S. in 1990 on the TurboGrafx system. A hit among critics, the title featured a prehistoric hero named Bonk who was characterized by his use of powerful headbutts as a favored form of attack. Bonk has a wide range of comical maneuvers. Bonk came to represent the TurboGrafx-16 system and he remains one of the most popular video game characters of all time.

Anyone has problems with ign too? Every single site of their network seems down. Even ign.com doesn't work.

[joeposh]

Buffering already is not a good sign...

I should be studying for my final in 2 hours, but we all know that's not happening now.

 

[Phranky]

Right then, I've finally arrived at my old University campus and am sitting down in front of a computer with a super duper fast internet connection. However, I still can't run ign's livechat thing well or get it's Wii stream (see what I did there) working at all. Can anyone help me out with that?

I managed to get gamespot's stream working straight away and it's running at 273 kb/s.

 

[cvxfreak]

Today was a good day to come to school early and use the university wifi connection.

[Aurora]

We're less than five minutes away... wow... it's actually almost here... the moment I've been waiting for all these years!

 

[Sabaku Ika]

I just lost a probable summer job due to it being filled before I could interview.

This had better be a really good conference to make me less unhappy.

 

[speedpop]

Thanks again ioi.

I have 1UP's stream and it's very very smooth, no dropouts so far. It does have a bit of a hum in the background though as if they're still plugging in audio equipment.

 

[MrSardonic]

fuck, packed! looks great

 

[Cherubae]

I wish this thing started at 9, I'm going to miss a big chunk of it because of work

 

[Scalemail Ted]

On time! Awesome!

 

[Jasoco]

The colored bars just faded away on the 1UP feed. Leaving just the logo. Time is drawing near...

 

[Nick]
