Bored?

MoD reader DBZTrainer let us know that in the back of the 4th comic book, there is an ad page that focuses entirely on the BIONICLE.com update. (In my Proof copy, it’s directly after the last story page, but I haven’t yet seen a production copy) Toward the top of the ad there is a list of features that are supposed to get the reader to visit the site, and one of them is very tasty:

“Explore the expanded game section including Huai Snow Ball, the New BOHROK Swarm Game (February), and more to come!”

Okay, now that you’re done drooling over the thought of a BOHROK game, I’ll explain the rest of it. If you don’t know what the HUAI Snow Ball game is, it’s the KO-KORO village game from the GBA “Quest for the TOA” video game. It was posted to the McD’s website during the TOHUNGA Happy Meal promotion, and it was also included on this CD-ROM , which was given out at the TRU “Battle of the Beasts” event in October.

As for the ‘more to come’, a few months ago I asked Leah if there were any plans to release the first two MATA NUI mini-games (POHATU vs. NUI-JAGA and KAHU vs. NUI-RAMA) seperately from the full game environment, as I figured there would be lots of people who would love to play them in their spare time, but not if they had to wait through the page-loads and run around half the island to unlock the games. I have been told that the mini-games will be released seperately to BIONICLE.com, just like the video Episodes, but that there are a few tweaks that need to be done to make them work outside of the MATA NUI environment, and the website overhaul took precedence over those tweaks.
