OMG...Poor Bomberman :(

[KingDrool]

I'll let the images do the talking.  I present to you: Bomberman for Xbox 360







All I can say is:

[TR0N]

Realy i think, Hudson is getting ideas from, Capcom

Think about it for a moment, BombermanX!!!!

[Keranu]

OH NO!!!! This is a terrible day for Bomberman.

[Dark Fact]

He actually looks closer to his NES boxart version now!  

[GUTS]

They should update the game engine to something like God of War if they're going to redesign the character, the new character just looks totally out of place with the old style gameplay.  I know it's blasphemy but I've never liked the bomberman games, they get boring SO fast, I'd be halfway excited if this new one was like Devil May cry or God of War.

[Dark Fact]

Actually, the Bomberman games are a huge blast (no pun intended) in multiplayer mode! You ought to get some of your buddies together and have a tournament! You'd be surprised how addicting it can become!

[Black Tiger]

Jesus Christ.

They should give it a new name if they're going to redo the characters so drastically, something more sci-fi'y, like Atomic Punk.

Still, an adult-er Bomberman for 360 is fine by me, as long as its still fun.

All I can say is:

Indeed! Indeed! This is a sad, sad day. Seriously, this should be a spin-off of the Bomberman franchise (Black_Tiger suggested "Atomic Punk"... I'll add "Bomberman Dark" to the list), so it can branch-off.

As for Bomberman... I really like the gameplay, even the single-player story modes (I can see GUTS cringing!). I don't play single-player Bomberman games hours on end, or every day, so it doesn't get too tedious or boring for me.

And I'll never get sick of 5-player Bomberman (though I've only managed to  get 3-4 player games going in the past few years... due to a lack of friends who like Bomberman).

Yeah, I also like the single player game, although I've never gotten into a non-Turbo/PCE Bomberman other than Saturn Bomberman.

[GUTS]

Actually I'll amend that, I forgot that Super Bomberman 2 on SNES actually had a really good one player mode.  I completely forgot about beating that one back in the day, it was totally rad.  Never liked any of the other ones though, even the Saturn one didn't do it for me.

[Black Tiger]

I like the "First Person Bommer" tagline.  

[FM-77]

Whoa, this is bizarre. Sure, I've never really liked Bomberman, but this is outrageous!

I mean.... Bomberman for Xbox 360!!



Hehehe, just kidding. I know, I know -- the game looks weird. Not like Bomberman at all. Another great reason to avoid the Xbox 360.

[GUTS]

I don't get how anyone can look at Oblivion and still want to avoid the 360.  Hell even if the 360 was called "The Elder Scrolls playing machine" I'd still buy one, that game is going to be incredible.

[Ninja Spirit]

Judging by the way that looks, it should've been a sequel to this game instead of Bomberman.





Robo Warrior (Bomber King in Japan), which basically is an action game that uses elements of the Bomberman gameplay engine.
It should be obvious because Robo Warrior/Bomber King is really a Hudson game as well.

[Keranu]

Whoa, I might have to give that game a try.
