OMG...Poor Bomberman :(

They should of just get one of the original games and make it available on live arcade , these new versions of games are nearly always a waste of time look at final fight streetwise for example .

anyway i do/can not understand why hudson spend so much effort in those new crappy softs! who is in charge of some kind of decision? the cover even doesn't looks like a japanese product anymore! and did you see the intro?!
and all those again warmed up new crappy reincarnations of pc genjin, takahashi meijin no bôkenjima etc also doesn't bring any of the flairs of the old so much loved originals back! it's just a shame! i hope they  strongly will rethink their product and sales strategies in their own future! not just for themselves, more for us gamer!

i assume this is because Japan is becoming a Niche market as games will sell much more if targetted at the western audiences, and they become a hit

anyway, gametrailers has some video of the game in progress, and aside from the artistic spin, the gameplay looks to be almost identical. there seems to be a way to still do the overheard view or something.

click here and scroll down to the gameplay section, which should be at the bottom.

the electric guitar-heavy music reminds me of Lords of Thunder.
