Wouldn't it be nice to have Hi-Ten Bomberman on a current console?

Sorry for posting this in this forum, I dunno where else to put it, but, wouldn't it be nice to have Hi-Ten Bomberman on XB360-XBLA, PS3-PSN or Wii U ?

If only Hudson Soft still existed, and I pray that Konami finds the wisdom to port it over to HD platforms. 

Imagine playing this:   in 1080p, higher resolution than the original Caravan version,
and with better 10-player visuals than the Saturn's 10-player mode.

I know I'm dreamin', but it's fun to dream, isn't it?

I wouldn't be surprised if this happened eventually, but it wouldn't be a port. It would be some polygonal BS instead.

Nooooooo, I want the original sprite-based graphics of Hi-Ten.  We've already had Bomberman Live on XBLA (I think), so it's time for a traditional Bomberman with SPRITES.    It ain't gonna happen though.

Take Saturn Bomberman, connect to XRGB, done.

Not really, but better than anything they're going to put out in the future.

But Hi-Ten looked so much more appealing than Saturn Bomberman

Saturn looks like a 4bit game compared.

I know, that's what I've been trying to show.

Was Hi-Ten in HiVision/MUSE format or...what? Hard info seems difficult to come by.

Bomberman SS doesn't even come close to using the maximum res of NTSC. Presumably Hi-Ten exceeds NTSC, which would not only make it possible to see your character, but maybe even tell what the power ups are.

According to Assembler, Hi-Ten was 1035i / MUSE/ Hi-Vision resolution.

Another reason to have Hi-Ten would be for the unique playable characters, right?

[SuperGrafx16]

Absolutely.

[RegalSin]

Nope. The Dreamcast has Bomberman online ( which was around for a very long time ). Hi-ten Bomberman required extra hardware as well.

The new consoles with the new players takes all the fun out of playing them.

[SuperGrafx16]

Yet from everything I've read and seen, Hi-Ten Bomberman was the best version of the game ever made.  Certainly current-gen HD consoles could handle it fine, and it would be fun as hell, IMHO.

Wow, that is awesome!  I didn't even know that game existed.

Was that game made exclusively for an event, or was it in Japanese arcades?

I wonder where the hardware to run that game is sitting at now.
