Hudson Soft is giving Wii owners its second dose of Bonk with Bonk's Revenge. The Turbo-Grafx 16 platformer is due sometime next month on the Virtual Console, according to the publisher's official list. Also on the list for next month are Dragon's Curse, Bravoman, Battle Lode Runner and Shockman. Bravoman stands as only the second TurboGrafx-16 game from Namco Bandai, and only the fourth title not distributed by Hudson Soft.
The first title to be released, Dragon's Curse, is scheduled for next Monday, April 2. All titles will be priced the usual 600 Wii Points for purchase. Also known for next month are three from Sega, including a 2-dimensional Virtua Fighter 2. No word on what classic titles, if any, Nintendo will release in April.
Sega is set to bring some of its most loved franchises to film and TV! It has just been announced that Stories International, the production arm of Sega in a joint venture with Hakuhodo DY Group, is going to partner up with Circle of Confusion to produce adaptations of Sega’s hugely popular video games Altered Beast and Streets of Rage for film and television as well as several other hit franchises.
Annoying that they would create a Streets of Rage series but not another game. Granted, a new game would never live up to the expectations of the fans but it would still be nice to see.
So many great titles to choose from. How about Space Harrier or Altered Beasts?!
Virtua Fighter was a staple in Arcade’s in the mid-90’s, and found a great following on the Saturn and Dreamcast as well during the prime of the series. Another version of Virtua Fighter was released quietly on the Sega Genesis however, and it seems like time has forgotten this game. Is it worth checking out though? Let’s find out!

Oh saturn, how I love thee! I still have a black UK spec console that was chipped by CEX to play games from any region..also has a 50/60Hz switch...and my white limited edition JDM saturn. Both still work perfectly and I will NEVER sell them or the games I have amassed for them. The saturn versions of capcom fighting games are still the best to this day, imo.
I love Bonk!
Now if only Nintendo would allow JPN DL's so I could have Shockman II!
Or even better Castlevania X for the PC Engine Duo!
I miss my PC Engine Duo...
