GC 2006 :: Bomberman blasts onto new formats - Xbox 360 and PSP

Bomberman brings a classic selection of characters and environments to life in full 3D with a variety of different play modes.

Check out the First Look for more info.

I downloaded the trailer for this one this morning from the Live Marketplace, it does look like a lot of fun!
I was a huge fan of Super Bomberman on the SNES.

I'm a bit confused as to what the 360 version actually is though. When I first heard the Bomberman rumours many months ago, I thought it'd be a Live Arcade title.
But now it's clear that it's actually a whole new game, but surely even a new rendition of Bomberman isn't worthy of full retail price?
I wonder if we'll see this one along the price range of Table Tennis.

It's certainly changed from it's 1983 incarnation

Steve B · 23-08-2006, 03:08 PM

thats true, but i actually prefer the old version, the ones from the snes and megadrive.

it reviewed horribly in japan, if the rumours are to be believed it doesnt have any local multiplayer either

Since I only got into the console market with the first xbox my best experince of bomberman was the one on the PC by Hudson, had up to 16 players i belive over network now that was fun.

To be bomberman is top down action, none of this 3d mlarky if they include the tradition top down view then i might look at it, but will wait for the reviews to come out first or a demo

They should put the original top down as an option, agreed.

SATURN BOMBERMAN was the daddy....so you all better pay homage..NOW!

I still play the snes version using a emulator on my PC, you can do multiplayer over the net as well, still good fun

Dynabaster on the Amiga was imho the definitive version.
