Everyone's favorite caveman and pseudo system mascot is set to make a comeback.

NeoGAF user VideoMan discovered currently unannounced games on Hudson's website, including a multiplatform downloadable Bonk update, a Bomberman Live sequel, and a Wii/DS version of Big Fish Games' generically titled Rooms: The Main Building. Most of the pages have been removed, but Bonk is still up, and VideoMan saved the screenshots and product descriptions.

Bonk: Brink of Extinction is a WiiWare/PSN/Xbox Live Arcade 2.5D action platformer with online co-op (!) and eight different transformations. The 3D makeover the game has received is ... suboptimal, and the Adventure Island refresh wasn't great, but we can't help but be thrilled about the return of the Turbografx-16's mascot. It'll apparently be out first on XBLA in spring 2010.

Bomberman Live Battlefest is also coming to all three console download services, and adds new arenas, gametypes, and team play to, well, Bomberman. And Rooms: The Main Building seems to be a Wii/DS retail game, based on the PC slide-puzzle adventure.

We're contacting Hudson to learn what we can about the company's plans for these unannounced games.

Update: Hudson officially announced Bonk and Bomberman, and sent screens over. Screens for Bomberman and both the PSN/Xbox and WiiWare versions of Bonk can be found in our galleries.

Looks like Bonk has a Mohawk power up.

I'm pretty excited for this I remember playing the heck out of these on my T-16 and loving every second of it. I think that Bonk deserves a second chance to appeal to a wider audience.

    People have been dumping gallons of Haterade on this one, but I think it looks pretty good.

    Oh, and they officially announced them? That's good; last I saw, someone on another forum (I don't know if it's cool to say it or not) found the stuff on Hudson's site, and they promptly removed it.
