Bonk 3: Bonk’s Big Adventure, Devil’s Crush hitting the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
D4 Enterprise is putting up two new TurboGrafx-16 games on the North American Wii U Virtual Console this week. Bonk 3: Bonk’s Big Adventure and Devil’s Crush are both slated for tomorrow.
Here’s an overview of Bonk 3:
It’s up to Bonk once again to thwart the plans of the relentless, evil King Drool. There are seven rounds scattered throughout the Dinosaur Kingdom, each one filled with fun contraptions and comical enemies. Grab a Flower Copter or exchange 16 Smileys at the end of each round to play up to eight different bonus stages. Or you can change the size of Bonk by grabbing the new red or blue candy items. Depending on the situation, you can change your size to bonk your way through a dead end or to get a hard-to-reach item. And if that’s not enough, you can grab a friend and put your heads together to defeat King Drool in the new 2-player mode!
And Devil Crush:
Shoot the ball onto the board with the Devil Shooter, then use flippers and nudging to keep it in play and rack up a high score. Complete certain conditions to play up to 6 different bonus stages. Get a “Perfect Clear” on those to earn a huge amount of points! The game’s ominous theme is enhanced by its enemies–wandering skeleton knights, sorcerers, and even a giant face that changes from a goddess to a sinister serpent!
Bonk 3 and Devil Crush are priced at $5.99 each.

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 37 Comments
The first DLC pack for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is just on the horizon. Nintendo will be distributing The Master Trials on Friday.
Nintendo’s Japanese website now shows how much space is needed for the DLC. On Switch, The Master Trials is a 456MB download. The Wii U version requires 3.7GB of free space.
It’s unclear why The Master Trials is such a bigger download on Wii U. It’s just a theory, but Switch might be able to handle more advanced file compression.
