Hudson announced that they plan to release Bomberman for the Xbox Live Arcade this summer. The Xbox 360 release has online multiplayer for up to eight players, HD graphics and a character customization mode where you can design your own Bomberman out o 10,000 possible configurations. As you can see above there are some interesting options like pirate Bomberman with a wooden hook hand and football player Bomberman in the right hand corner. Customizing your Bombeman sounds neat and it’s a good way for players to remember who blew them up so they can quickly enact revenge.
This is going to be awesome. It may not be the Saturn Bomberman that I wanted, but I’ll take it. I’m forcing myself to forget that god-aweful “future” bomberman game Hudson released last year.
What were they thinking releasing that awful Halo-like bomberman, the realistic graphics look so bland and dull. and it truly “bombed” :)…
After Bomberman’s horrific next-gen debut on the 360, I definitely think a return to the series roots with online play via XBLA is the best logical step for the franchise. That should help wash away the horrible memories of Bomberman: Act Zero.

No doubt a port from the PC game Bomberman Online. Guess this must be coming out for the Wii console as well since Hudson said that they’d be making original games (none-virtual console) for Wii.
