Quantcast



While wandering the PAX 10 show floor, I bumped into Dtoid artist extraordinaire Grumpy Turtle as he was playing the new Bonk game. Luckily for me, the game supports co-op, so I dropped in see what condition the game's condition was in.

Yeah, yeah, oh yeah.

Did I mention that I stayed up all night last night editing video? Because I did. My brain's acting weird(er).

Anyway, enjoy the video!

Now this is what I'm talking about! Between this, Donkey Kong Country Returns, and Kirby's Epic Yarn, it looks like oldskool is back and it's here to stay! Yes!

I'm not saying Bonk was crap, but who was clamoring for more Bonk? It just seems like such a random property to resurrect. Maybe next year someone will bring back Gex.

Oh man, that's totally me.

The game was actually pretty fun for the time I had with it. I can see it being a good game to play with a girlfriend or someone else who isn't that into games, as one player can do the more challenging stuff.

And you haven't lived till you've had a song about meat sung to you by Mr. Holmes. You're jealous.

I too grew up playing Bonk, and I too think the art direction in what we've seen so far is terrible. Also, GrumpyTurtle is the man.

They should've gone with a sharp cartoon-style of art direction. Hudson! You don't have to make everything with polygons! You are not good at it!

The art style really is absolutely awful and a total turn-off, but this video may have been what I needed to be sold on the game itself. I agree with bdeff4life, but that gameplay did seem pretty solid.

Also, Jon, you are the coolest guy on the Internet. Very few Internet people make me say "I'd hang out with that guy IRL".
