Posted on 9 years ago by Jake in News, Wii U | 10 Comments

Bonk’s Adventure will be landing on the Wii U Virtual Console this Thursday, July 14. The description from Nintendo’s website:

Headbutt your way to victory!
An old-school side-scrolling action game. Gameplay is simple: just headbutt your enemies as you progress through each stage! You receive damage when you get hit by an enemy or when you touch something hazardous. Try to keep Bonk from losing any lives. Chow down on meat you find along the way to power up Bonk by 2 levels. Headbutt the ground after Bonk has transformed to unleash a powerful explosion—the earth will tremble and your enemies will be stunned! That’s Bonk power! The power of his mighty, rock-hard head! The game is loaded with bonus games and hidden stages. And, just like any great action game, there are big boss battles.

The game will cost $5.99.

Thanks to Jonathan for the heads up!

Pokemon GO now the biggest mobile game in U.S. history based on daily active users

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 49 Comments

Pokemon GO isn’t slowing down, and it’s continuing to reach new milestones. Survey Monkey now reports that the app is the biggest mobile game in U.S. history, based on daily active users. It apparently attracted just under 21 million daily active users as of yesterday.

Within a day, Pokemon GO surpassed Slither.io and Clash Royale, the latter of which was the biggest game of 2016. It also took down the previous record holder Candy Crush. Note that Candy Crush was said to have 93 million total daily active users at its peak, but that was based on all countries and devices. Survey Monkey compared both apps on the basis of U.S. smartphone audience.

SurveyMonkey goes on to say that, given what we’ve seen thus far, Pokemon GO may pass Snapchat on Android very soon. It also speculates that it “could surpass Google Maps itself as the largest user of Alphabet’s mapping data.”
