A few years ago, Hudson was working on Bonk: Brink of Extinction for WiiWare, XBLA and PSN. The game was sadly cancelled even though it was pretty much done.

While Bonk: Brink of Extinction won’t ever see the light of day, YouTube user “Bonk Brink” has uploaded gameplay online. The footage, obtained through an “anonymous source,” can be found above.

Well-known Castlevania producer Koji Igarashi has left Konami. His final day with the company was on March 15.

Following his departure from Konami, Igarashi now intends to open a new development studio.

Igarashi told IGN:

“I’ve decided to break out on my own to have the freedom to make the kind of games I really want to make — the same kind I think fans of my past games want as well. Leaving Konami was a big decision, and not one I took lightly – I’ve spent my entire career there, made many friends, and had a lot of great opportunities – but I hope all the gamers and fans who have supported me in the past will join me in being excited about what comes next. Wish me luck!”

Igarashi played a role in many of Konami’s Castlevania titles, starting with Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. He last produced Harmony of Despair.

David Cox, producer of the Castlevania: Lords of Shadows series, believes that the days of 2D Castlevania games are gone.

Cox told GamesTM this month that even though hardcore gamers would appreciate a new 2D Castlevania, “the reality is that it’s a very niche market and Konami really want this series to be mainstream again.” He wouldn’t rule out a new 2D title completely, though it wouldn’t come from MercurySteam.

You can find Cox’s full comments below.
