Super Bomberman

[Angelic Lapras King]

Supriced theres no topic on these games. Apparently, these games are ment to be very good. There were 5 games in the series, 3 were released worldwide, while 4 and 5 were Japan Only. They even had 4-5 multiplayer and even a cute Bomberman multitap for the extra ports.

So, anyone think we ll get one of these on the VC? I know theres a Wiiware Bomberman coming, but it would be nice to see how good these Bombermans were/are.

there were good games i had 1,2 and 3 i like the punch and kick function but not the kangaroo things they ruined it for me

I have more than enough Bomberman games.

Dyna Blaster (GB)
Wario Blast (SGB)
Bomber Man 64 (N64)
Bomberman Hero (N64)
Bomberman DS (DS)

And there's Bomberman '93 available on VC since the beginning of Wii.
This version has 5-player-mode, and looks just like the SNES version you talk about.

Sure there was Super Bomberman 2 and Super Bomberman 3 with an improved storymode and all kinds of stuff, bosses, items, vehicles...
There was a Bomberman game on about every system.

Yeah, we got only one Bomberman game, while we had full trilogy's of Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong Country, Sonic, Streets of Rage, Golden Axe.
Understandable, the Bomberman fans want the next game.

Anyway, didn't you know,
Bomberman '93 is STILL one of the most downloaded games in the VC...
but who cares? Bomberman-fans want more!
Hear that, Nintendo? ...Hudson?

The Bombermans on SNES were great. I loved riding on that kangaroo!

I think Super Bomberman 2 is the best one I've played although it's only four player so if you've got four friends who are itching for some five way action I'd recommend Bomberman 93. I've never played Super Bomberman 4 or 5 but 3 was just a bit ridiculous, they'd taken a perfectly good formula in Super Bomberman 2 and tried to improve it but just made it worse, if it ain't broke don't fix it!
Apparently Bomberman on the Saturn is the best but I've never played it and it's relatively rare.

I'd love to see Super Bomberman 5 on the VC, as it was possibly the best 16-bit Bomberman ever made. It featured great graphics, excellent music and a sligthly darker tone that set it apart from the previous entries.



Super Bomberman 2 and Bomberman 64 also deserve (and have more chances) to be released, though.

[Atlantis1982]

I think with the Bomberman WiiWare game on the way, I wouldn't expect much more to come out anytime soon.

[SKTTR]

I think Bomberman Hero (N64) has good chances.

It is arguably not the best Bomberman game because it is SINGLEPLAYER-ONLY...
but this sets it apart from all the other Bomberman games.
It wasn't well-received because of the lack of multiplayer back in the day...
"WHAT? Bomberman without multiplayer? Who needs that?"

It's an 3D-action-platformer with lots of hidden stuff to collect in about 50 stages.
And I remember it has a good soundtrack. Not as good as Bomberman 64, but it has it's own cool tunes.

Anyway, Bomberman 64 had a good singleplayer-mode too.
And a 4-player battle mode, with 16 really great designed battle-arenas.
You had to play story-mode to unlock most of the multiplayer-arenas and costumes.

Bomberman 64

Solo: 4 Stars (Very challenging to find every collectible)
Multi: 5 Stars (Great arenas, 4 Player at once, cool items, one of the funniest Bomberman experiences I ever had)

Bomberman Hero

Solo: 4 Stars (Not as challenging as Bomberman 64 but hard as hell, too... if you want to get everything)
Multi: No multi.

....
and yeah, there's a third Bomberman game on the N64, that was only released in Japan, just called Bomberman 64..
What again???
No, the first one (our Bomberman 64) is called Baku Bomberman (Super Bomberman) in Japan, so they had no Bomberman 64.
I would have played this, if it came to Europe, but I haven't.

Hmmm... What Bomberman games do I have?

Bomberman 93: I'm stuck on the second boss, but not anymore!

Bomberman Land Touch!: A minigame adventure! The minigames are actully good, and there is lots to do

Bomberman DS: My favorite Bomberman game!

I don't have that many and none of them have kangaroos in them so i'd love to try Super Bomberman, the N64 Bomberman games look good too

[The shoemaker]

Yeah I remember playing bomberman 64 with my sisters, such fun times. I like how when you die you become a ghost, yeah goooooood times. I never played solo before

Since Bomberman '93 was brought up, I had a couple of questions about it:

1) Is there an adventure mode like on the Super Bombermans?
2) And if so, can you co-op (or more) on that adventure mode?

2=no

Thanks for those answers. I loved co-oping through adventure mode on SB3 and SB4
