Ultra Genjin

About

Ultra Genjin started as a sequel for the Bonk character before Hudson Soft pivoted to create Bomberman Hero instead. Players control the block-headed hero in a 3D platformer environment filled with enemies and traps. The goal involves clearing levels and collecting items while avoiding hazards. It feels like a standard adventure game but without the final release, leaving players to wonder what might have happened if it launched on the Nintendo 64. This title sits as a curious piece of gaming history rather than a finished product. Community discussions often highlight how close this cancellation came to changing the Bonk franchise direction. Some fans rate the concept highly just for its potential, even though no official rating exists since the game never shipped. The shift to Bomberman Hero suggests the studio found more value in that mechanic instead. You can find mentions of it in retro forums where people talk about lost gems from the era.
