The first Turbo CD game in North America: Super Air Zonk
Surprise! It's another shooter! The ESRB now has a rating for one Turbografx-16 CD-ROM title: Super Air Zonk, the sequel to the futuristic Bonk spinoff that is already winning hearts and minds on the Virtual Console. Apparently it's not as good as the first Air Zonk game, and, being a CD game, it'll be more expensive. But it is interesting that Hudson's skipping over early Turbo CD games like Ys I & II and going straight to a Duo title.
As saturated as we are with shooters, we're still holding out hope that we'll get Cho Aniki on the VC like Japan is. A very faint hope.

What the...? I consider myself a pretty big Turbo fan, but I don't think I was even aware of this game's existence. I had the HuCard of the original game though.
I loved Ys Books I & II, but I wonder how large an audience it would attract. I played through about half of Book I on Magic Engine (I still have the original CD, don't worry). One thing I always thought was cool about the game was that Oscar-winning Thomas Hayden Church did a voiceover for the game long before he was anybody.

Gate of Thunder soon I hope.
Also I was hoping to see Loom someday, but then I found some pictures on the web and boy the graphics have not aged well.
