It actually reminds me a lot of Lolo, from what I've played so far (admittedly not a whole lot).beelzebozo said:

I don't think we know exact titles, but they are supposed to update every monday through December (total of 30 games by end of year), and then 10 games per month thereafter.HeadsUpSevenUp said:

If it hasn't done it by then, give up, reset the thing, and try again. If it's already accepted your payment it will let you download freely.GoutPatrol said:
Question for those who bought Bonk - did you intend to download it before it went online a few days after launch? Was it on your list of games to try?
It's definitely on my list when it gets released in Australia, but I'm wondering if it might be the beginning of Game download whores, much like Xbox Live! has, where some people will download every new Arcade title when released.

Well, I after about a half an hour I reset and the game was in the main menu. So...eh? :lol
Nintendo should really have the Wii automatically send you a message when there are new games available. Better yet would be a release schedule but that might make people spend less since they'd probably skip some of the so-so games while they wait for the better ones that are almost out.

If Nintendo updated the Tuesday after launch, they should be updating tomorrow...

I got Super Mario 64, and Donkey Kong.

Hehehe, no, it's the cover of the upcoming pain of Salvation album (Scarsick).Pureauthor said:
Bonk was the mascot of the TG16, which was the third 16bit console. It had a dark fate, but some awesome games as well. Since most people here didn't own one, playing those games they lhad heard of at the time but never got to play is a no brainer.Christopher said:
BTW, how you'd buy DK and not Solomon's Key, Zelda or anything else except for Pinball is a question to wonder about.

Actually, I don't think that is quite correct, "Even though it was called the Turbo Grafx-16, in reality it was only an 8-bit CPU system with two processors (one of them was a 16-bit graphics processor though but the main CPU wasn't), not a true 16-bit machine after all even though NEC clearly advertised the system as a true 16-bit powerhouse."

Also, wikipedia lists "CPU: 8-bit"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbografx_16
Carry on.
It was actually first to launch though... in Japan, PC Engine was positioned mainly as an alternative to the original Famicom, and was at that point it's most competitive. MegaDrive was a comparable nonstarter and Japan really didn't shift over until Super Famicom.fresquito said:
TG16 also wasn't "the 3RD system" of that generation either...I believe it came out around the same time as the Genisis. It's a lil' known fact that Nintendo was considering working with NEC to bring games to TG16 as opposed to making the Super Famicom. TG16 was already an established console in Japan & the U.S. versus the Genisis, so it was being considered before Nintendo just decided to make thier own system.
That generation also beheld the NeO*GeO as well as Pioneer's little known forray into video games later on. It was a modual system that played CD's, VCD's, full-sized LD's, Sega CD's, Turbo Duo CD's and eventually NeO*GeO CD's...not too many people know about it 'cos it was mega expensive (like over $1000) *and* you had to buy $100 to $200 moduals in order to play a different system. You plugged the modual in, it had controller ports & a "key" that told the Pioneer system to play games from whatever respective system was plugged in.
Stuff like this would eventually begot failures & failed ventures like Jaguar, Saturn, Panasonic REAL 3D0, CDi and of course Sony & Nintendo's "partnership" that eventually became the PlayStation. It's no wonder Nintendo was hasty to get into CD-ROM gaming as every system that did...failed. This, amoung other reasons would play a part in the exchange of crowns from Nintendo to Sony.
Oh yeah, I bought Bonk!
PS- I didn't mean to be condecending in correcting you, really it could be argued whether NeO*GeO or TG16 was "third" in that generation depending on who you talked to.

I bought it because I owned a Genesis and a SNES but not a TG16, and Bonk was the third of the "big 3" mascots from that era. So for $6, I figured it was worth it to fulfill my curiosity.
From other posts I've seen around here it seems like other people bought it for a similar reason.
Is the game worth it? I dunno. It's a cute little platformer, but without any nostalgia tied to the experience I doubt I'll play it THAT much. It's nice that it's $6 and not $8 like the Genesis and SNES games.

I noticed it in Bomberman '93, when a slip of the left index finger caused my manually-exploded bombs to kill me. Whoops! (Another decent reason to have adjustable controls, I guess.)MGrant said:
