Before Bonk: Brink Of Extinction Was Downloadable, It Was For Wii, Then DS

Bonk: Brink of Extinction, a new game starring the headbutting platform hero Bonk, is coming to PlayStation Network, Xbox Live Arcade, and WiiWare later this year. But, before Hudson settled on a downloadable game, Bonk: Brink of Extinction was originally documented as a boxed Wii game.

“Internally it had been documented as a Wii Game, a DS Game and finally a Digital Download game,” Peter Dassenko, Producer, revealed. “So the version you’re playing (or will play) is a combination of many different ideas from each of the platforms we’d made a design document for.”

Even on the original design document Bonk: Brink of Extinction was set as a 3D game. Hudson planned Wii and DS specific controls, but these were scrapped since Bonk: Brink of Extinction is a now multiplatform title.
