It looks very cool, I like the bomberman games

Been waiting a while for this, I'm doubting that it'll be as good as the XBLA game though. Still play Bomberman '93 VC with the Mrs a lot.

Bomberman 1,2 and 3 on SNES are the only good Bomberman games I think I've played, went a bit poor from N64 on with 3D graphics

Try the PC Engine ones and Bomberman Tournement on GBA. Bomberman Online Dreamcast & Bomberman Saturn were great too. Also as I said before, XBLA one was great.

This one actually looks fun (and it doesn't have a cool package)

I love bomberman, I can't wait.

The first bomberman 64 was awesome and I'm still pissed off they didn't continue that gameplay.
There was a lot of genius in that games design

It was, but if memory serves, that's the one also where I could never figure out how to kick

It always took me forever to figure it out.

Needs more like it, for sure.

One thing like about the XBLA Bomberman Live, is the amount of powerups. Most Bomberman occasionally stick to Kick powerup and sometimes Throw powerup. Hopefully this one will have just as many fun powerups to use.

Full Fire + Dangerous Bomb on a Zombie Match =

Bomberman Live rocks looking forward to this too

Hopefully it will be as good as SNES Bomberman games if not better.

Personally, I found Super Bomberman 5 to be the best, good story mode and multiplayer mode.

 

[GameDragon]

I've never played story mode in Super Bomberman 5. But using the Louies in multiplayer was extremely fun. I doubt those are coming back though.

Here's the official site

Using Miis is amusing. It'd be epically win for me if you can play the game with someone who doesn't have it through something like Dr. Mario's "Download Play" system. I know Dad would love this.

I played bomberman 93 today with 5 people, was great fun.

too bad this new game doesnt support 8-player offline, it would be possible by using 4 wiimotes and 4 gamecube controllers.

 

[sjones900]

maybe it might be local network multiplayer
