DS/3DS Release Dates & Sales // Tiny Cartridge Stickers For Your Games!
“In the case of Bonk, everything has personality, from the main character to the enemies to the levels themselves. Our adorable, big-eyed caveman hero climbs walls with his teeth, waggles his tiny arms and legs comically while swimming up waterfalls, pops a head vein when doing his trademark move (a ‘bonk,’ in case you were wondering), and transforms into one of two comically monstrous forms to clash with his usually cutesy demeanor.

His iconic enemies — which, in case you couldn’t tell, are freshly-hatched dinosaurs who didn’t bother losing the whole shell — nap, catch butterflies, fish, climb poles in little alpine hats, suntan, and evoke the sense that they’re ‘living’ in a level, rather than placed arbitrarily by some programmer.”

Bob Mackey argues the merits of the Bonk series. If you want to try a Bonk game (and you should, they’re adorable), you can download all three of the Turbografx-16 games, and the futuristic cute-em-up spinoff Air Zonk, on the Wii Virtual Console, or you can set up a Japanese PSN account and download the Bonk games to your PSP or PS3.

Or, if you want to go all out, you can buy a Turbo Duo on eBay, which has the added bonus of being absolutely gorgeous.
