In case you haven’t heard, Renegade Kid’s next eShop game is Bomb Monkey. Nintendo Power was given an exclusive look at the title in its May issue, which includes the first official details and screenshots.

We’ve summarized all of the juicy information from the magazine below.

– Stylistically different from Renegade Kid’s previous games
– Arcade-style falling-block puzzler
– Hold the 3DS sideways to play
– Use control pad or Circle Pad to move your money back and forth along the top of the screen
– Press down to drop colored blocks wherever you see fit
– Stack is constantly growing, rises from the bottom of the screen
– If the stack reaches your monkey’s location, the game ends
– Randomly obtain access to bombs
– Use bombs to destroy nearby blocks
– Blocks that are next each other and have the same color can all be destroyed at once if they’re hit by a bomb
– Somewhat comparable to Super Puzzle Fighter II
– Need to hit locked blocks multiple times to destroy
– Special red boxes can destroy an entire row or column of blocks when detonated
– Position red blocks strategically to set up massive combs that take out nearly all blocks in sight
– Destroy spheres marked with letters to spell the word BOMB
– This allows you to enter Bomb Monkey Time
– Bomb Monkey Time: drop unlimited boxes temporarily
– Endless mode included
– Destroy as many blocks and rack up as high a score as possible before you lose in Endless mode
– Rescue mode: destroy a cage with bombs in order to free another monkey
– Numbers mode: Destroy numbered spheres in the correct order
– Versus and co-op modes: play with a friend using one 3DS
– Friend controls his monkey with the X, A, B buttons
– Action takes place over both screens in versus and co-op


Thanks to Smeagle for the tip!


There wasn’t a ton of shocking news on GameTrailers’ latest Bonus Round episode, but Shane Satterfield once again said people will be surprised with the Wii U’s launch lineup and the amount of games in development for the system – that applies to both first and third-party software.

There’s also about five seconds of Pokemon Dream Radar in the video above.


Now that we’ve had a day to recover from the Wii U controller leak, let’s take a look at a comparison showing the differences between the E3 2011 model and the one we saw yesterday:


Quite a good comparison, no?

Update: Original Twitter account has been shut down. Hmmm…


The image above comes from a QA tester over at TT Games, who posted the image above to his Twitter account.

While not an extreme makeover, it does show quite a few new things. Most significant is the addition of analog sticks that have been substituted for circle pads – a much welcomed change. The layout of some buttons have been shifted around as well.

What do you think? Do you prefer the (slightly) new design?

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
