Bomberman Blast takes advantage of the Wiimote controls by adding a couple new items. The rocket item allows players to shake the Wiimote when they’re in a tight spot to blast off the screen for a few seconds. Those…

Next month Bomberman Blast or Wi-Fi 8 Man Battle Bomberman as its known in Japan is scheduled to come out on WiiWare. Hudson has it slated to come out on September 30, five days after a retail version of Bomberman with a full story gets released for the Wii.   We just got an e-mail [...]

Hudson hasn’t got around to creating a Bomberman game for the PlayStation Network, but as a quick replacement the PsOne remake of the Bomberman game for the NES is now on the Japanese store. Like all of the PlayStation archives it costs 600 yen ($5). However, if you play the downloaded game on the PSP [...]

Even though I did an interview with Hudson about Bomberman Wii/WiiWare among other things, hearing Bomberman got pushed back from June until the fall is news to me. Hero of Legend sent in a tip (thanks!!) pointing back to Hudson’s official page, which explains both versions of Bomberman were quietly delayed in Japan. Instead of [...]

At this time Hudson has more announced WiiWare games than any third party developer. Alien Crush, Bomberman, Tetris and the mysterious Blue Ocean are scheduled to come out in Japan this year. I was fortunate enough to have a chance to as Kentaro Murayama, Hudson Entertainment’s Executive Vice President in Japan, about the line up. [...]

Hudson is moving full throttle into digital distribution with import TurboGrafx-16 games on the Virtual Console and plenty of Bomberman. I had a chance to ask Sabine Duvall, Vice President of Product Development at Hudson Entertainment, a few questions about their plans starting with something I’ve been personally wondering, where is Ys Book I&II?   [...]

Thanks to Hero of Legend for pointing out a common misconception about Hudson’s Wii Bomberman game in the comments. When the title was announced Famitsu pinned it as a WiiWare title, in fact they still do. However, Hudson’s WiiWare page lists four games: Star Soldier R, Joysound, Tetris and Bomberman with a spring release date. [...]

Yes, you or better said your Mii, can be behind the Bomberman mask in Hudson’s WiiWare version of Bomberman. A pretty clever way to distinguish your character during eight player matches if Miis can be shown during bomb dodging battles. At this point we have only Mii support when a player is crowing the winner [...]

I have to admit that I'm not the best at Bomberman, but I'd like to think I hold my own. Well, at least that's what I thought when I played against the computer.  Playing against another player however, is a completely different story.   The path to multiplayer starts with connecting to Nintendo WFC, which [...]

For those of you out there not content with the characters and modes in the recently released Bomberman Live for Xbox 360 take note. On Wednesday, we'll be seeing the release of an add-on pack called Bomb-Up that will sell for 350 points ($4.37) 250 points ($3.13). Hudson e-mailed a correction with the lower price. [...]

If you've never played any of the previous 60 or so iterations of Bomberman, then Bomberman Live on the Xbox Live is as good a place to start than any.  The objective: bomb the hell out of anything and everything and frag some opponents while you're at it.  Last man standing wins.   The last [...]

This Wednesday the world is going to be able to hop online and play Bomberman Live. For 800 Microsoft points ($10) you get eight player, online Bomberman and 10,000 ways to dress up your avatar. Pirate gladiator Bomberman for me!   Yie Ar Kung Fu from Konami is this week’s other game and at last [...]

  Even though it is far from revolutionary, online play in Bomberman is enough to give it attention. Eight players can log onto Xbox Live in a single Bomberman match compared to four players offline. Bomberman Live also includes other variations of Bomberman like paint mode where bomb blasts change the color of the floor. [...]

  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 [...]
