Why Not? A Reboot of Bonk's Adventure

This is my most experimental segment where I look at the popular games of the past and ponder what next gen treatment would look like.

Description:  Bonk is what happens when Katamari and Mario share legal custody of a child.  It is one part ridiculousness and three parts platformer.  The cool thing was that Bonk was not trying to be its own separate Mario or Sonic, but just a goofy bald kid who head butts dinosaurs.

Here is why I think a next gen treatment is necessary

Bonk has always thrived at juggling, momentum and rhythm within the platforming world.  That kid's noggin has been a great tool for dinosaur destruction.  Now imagine a 3D platformer world where you are encouraged to get bonk combos and successfully bounce off of different baddies.  It would have the addictiveness of a Tony Hawk combo mixed with Mario.

No Comment.

Also the folks over at Hudson Soft were more than ready to create imaginative power ups and weird weapons.  Some of these weapons like the fire pepper and the bouncing flower fit right in to Mario's kitty costume.

A crazy platformer, with a charming bald kid who fights dinosaurs.  It has indy/family/fun written all over it.
