If they released a Bomberman game on Steam - oh man. Endless multiplayer!

I Need THIS!!!!

 

[Raiden]

the best imo

it also had the most interesting rivals and a descent plot twist

People liked this? I remember hating it, and everyone else back when it came out.

 

[OrangeGrayBlue]

I'm the only one who liked this?

 

[Waluigilicious]

I'm the only one who liked this?

No, blends perfectly into the GameCubes great multiplayer offerings!

 

[Vilam]

They should have taken the direction of Bomberman 64 and used it as inspiration for future entries in the series. You can't keep doing top down 2d Bomberman without it becoming stale.

 

[Vilam]

Whoops, double post some how.

 

[BassForever]

It's funny how Act Zero has seen a resurgence thanks to proton jon and twitch.

 

[Tenki]

I want a new Bomberman with local multiplayer, even if it's a digital only game

Fuck Konami. Why did the buy Hudson?

 

[Danneee]

Smash 4 newcomer

Spoiler

do I even want to believe?

It would make sense. But so would Simon Belmont, Kunio and a bunch of other iconic NES/SNES characters.

 

[ViciousDS]

the best imo

ah......open world bomberman....ssooo good.

 

[Melchettsmoustache]

Multiplayer bomber man was superb on the snes. Punching a bomb overt he wall, blocking your mates escape and watching him burn....... Awesome.

 

[wilflare]

damn. are any of these available on the WiiU Virtual Console?

 

[Crocodile]

the best imo

I dunno if this was a "good" game from a technical standout but I must have gotten 100s of hours of enjoyment from this game with my friends back in the day Loved it to pieces.

 

[onken]

Bomberman: Act Zero was cursed.

The PR guy Hudson hired for that ended up murdering his family and then killing himself. And he had posted here, too.

Holy crap seriously?

 

[Booter]

I got the NetLink edition of Saturn Bomberman in 2002.

I assume that will still work now, and for all time, since it doesn't depend on things like Live, PSN or even Dreamcast's SegaNet. No online service, no servers. Just direct dial-up.

Well it depends on old-school phone lines which probably won't be around forever.

 

[Jaeger]

I bought that Net De Bomberman. A supposedly rare Bomberman title for the PS2, which seems to hark back to the unreleased Hi-Ten Bomberman, and Saturn Bomberman.

I'll take video and screens when it comes in.

I want to call bullshit, but I can honestly see something like that happening with how badly things went with Act Zero.

 

[Boogdud]

OP asks "Bomberman WTF happened to you?!?"

People (apparently from some kind of alternate universe) post about how 'great' bomberman 64 games were...

Welp, there's your answer.



Nothing ever beat super bomberman.

I literally skipped most of the topic, but there's tons of great Bomberman titles post Super Bomberman, more than I can count on both hands. Some even on the Super Famicon, itself.

Super Bomberman 2-5
Saturn Bomberman
64
Bomberman Live: Battlefest
Max 1 and 2
Panic Bomberman

Even a few mobile titles are awesome.

Only Gamecube Bomberman I played was Bomberman Jetters. I don't remember it well.

 

[mechphree]

I think it should be revived on tablets....

[AmyS]

Don't Forget Neo Bomberman for NEO GEO MVS arcade!

Or the Irem / Hudson Dyna Blaster / Atomic Punk and Bomber Man World / Atomic Punk 2 / New Dyna Blaster Global Quest arcade games

[paradise_circus]

bomberman continues to live in bioshock

 

[Vilam]

Why no talk of Bomberman Online for Dreamcast? Or am I just missing something?

I thought it had a lot of excellent arenas, and retained the more classic cross bombs people seem to like.

 

[Takao]

[lo zaffo]

I can play pc-Engine's Bomberman '93 with up to five players thanks to Wii Virtual Console.
Happy with it!

 

[Septimus Prime]

I'm the only one who liked this?

I own that one and like it.

The only major problem is that the bombs have a serious flame lag.

 

[Grizzo]

.

These ones look even better ! Oh, how I wish to own one someday.

Count me in on the Bomberman 64 fanclub. I remember one of my school pal lending it to me. I loved it. Especially the multiplayer. But my favorite one remains Wario Blast, just for that Wario cameo.

 

[Teknopathetic]

Fun Fact: Neo Bomberman is actually the best bomberman game in the series.

 

[Azure J]

HOLY SHIT

I still have this game. I can actually still hum the first dungeon theme without having played it in almost 15 years.

 

[Quackula]

Is it a good opportunity now to bring up Wario Blast?

 

[Grizzo]

Is it a good opportunity now to bring up Wario Blast?

YES IT IS

Back in the days, I traded in my copy for Donkey Kong '94, which is a really great game, but I found myself missing Wario Blast quite often. I might have to get it back someday. Too bad Hudson never did another Bomberman cross-over game after this one (or did they ?).

 

[gingerbeardman]

Versions I've spent the most time with are DC and Wii. Good times.

 

[mcmmaster]

Here's hoping he gets a spot in the new Smash Bros, always felt he would fit in nicely (in terms of moveset and setting) so it would be a nice send off to B-Man

 

[klausbert]

Hell yeah, Wario Blast was awesome back in the day. I remember playing multiplayer together with my family on the Super Gameboy. I thought that memory couldn't be true and looked it up, turns out the game even has 4 player support if you have a multitap. What a great little gem.

 

[PetrCobra]

What I've seen of single player Bomberman on Wii (latest I've seen) was pretty pathetic with its lame attempts at a story. I guess it was still a good game for multiplayer but didn't really try, I was so disgusted with it. I'd rather play the old Mega Bomberman on Megadrive where no stupid unskippable animations about some stupid Bomberman world are forced down my throat for ten minutes instead of the actual game.

 

[AmyS]

Fun Fact: Neo Bomberman is actually the best bomberman game in the series.

I love both Neo Bomberman and Saturn Bomberman.

The best game in the series was never a commercial product !

 

[Jaeger]

My copy of Net De Bomberman came in. I'll try and get some recordings up soon. There's very little info on it out there, at the moment. From what I gather, it (like Saturn Bomberman) harks back to the Hi-Ten Bomberman concepts.

As far as I know, this is the only known footage.

[Tye The Czar]

Make that 6, because I love the first Bomberman on N64.

Make it 7!
I still couldn't get all the secrets in Untouchable Treasure though or get the true final boss.

 

[sörine]

damn. are any of these available on the WiiU Virtual Console?

None yet, though you can still buy a few Bomberman games on Wii VC.
Bomberman 93 (TG16), Bomberman 94 (PCE) and Bomberman Hero (N64).

I'm not talking about the sorta-MMO Bomberman with crap controls that can be played on a browser, but something that only existed in Japan. I remember playing it quite a lot a few years ago. The layout was the same as Net de Bomberman, complete with the blue dashboard on the right. You had to create an account and could gain ranks and points to spend on accessories.

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Nintendo should have bought Hudson, or at least picked up a few of their IPs.

ND Cube is surely big enough to work on ____ Party and smaller games at the same time, right?

Nintendo should strike a deal with Konami to finish up Hudson's canned 3DS games with various partners like NdCube and Natsume. I wouldn't mind some IP sharing like Bomberman and Bonk showing up in the next Mario Party either.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Been saying for years Nintendo should buy Bomberman. Teaming NdCube and Natsume for Omega Five 3DS would be sick as well. But I'm not sure how much Hudson had to do with OF, I thought they just published it.

BTW, the PC-Engine Bonk game is now out on Wii U VC in JP.

 

[Hero of Legend]

I just finished transcribing Mario Party Island Tour's credits at least up to the localization part, note the names with no link to MobyGames MAY be a slight misspelling, I'll look into it later on.

I was really looking forward to the Bomberman 3DS game. From what little video and screenshots we got of it before it was quietly cancelled, it really reminded me of Bomberman 64 and Bomberman Hero.

Supposed synopsis: "Bomberman was a game scheduled for the Nintendo 3DS that was cancelled. Little known about this game aside from the fact that there is a single player adventure and a multiplayer mode. The story involved Bomberman having to save Central City from a robot corp." (taken from http://bomberman.wikia.com/wiki/Bomberman_3DS)

I'm reminded of when I used to play the Bomberman World demo non stop back on my PS1. The theme was so good as well.
