For online multiplayer i'd consider buying to go along side '93. Otherwise no dice.

I already have '93 on my Wii. Unfortunately, I don't play it that often, so I don't see me getting this soon. I would, however, get Bomberman 64 if it was made available.

I'll get this if it has online multiplayer, otherwise; no point since I own Bomberman '93 anyway.

That picture is sooo cute!

For me while online would be nice there are a few other points I'd consdier before purchase:
-The graphics. The classic look with sprites would be prefered.
-The multiplayer. 4 player would be a let-down (since bomberman 93 supports 5...) as 8 wouldn't pose a problem to make (4xRemote and 4xGameucbe) and heck 12 (add nunchucks into the mix) or even 16 (erm, one gamecube controller per 2 players) is a possibility.

I can't wait till Bombermans 1 through 3 get released on virtual console. I'll download it right after I download Chrono Trigger.

Is this as good as the other bombermans?

When will WiiWare come out? I know it is March for Japan but... I JUST CANT WAIT! It will be so cool! I really need more memory tho

It better have online! If it dont im gonna bomb one of you.........somehow >:/

If its anything like the XBLA version then its worth it.

@Serpent: What? I thought the Xbox version was an utter failure? Did I miss something?

Xbox Live Arcade Version, not the new-age Bomberman (I guess)

Like everyone is saying, if it's exactly like the one on XBLA, and I quote from Merchant Kirby (avatar at the time), "I'll buy at a high price!"

I hope this game will support 8 players in multy!

I'm a Big fan of Bomberman so this is a must get

@jackaroo: Get Bomberman Land Touch

I'll get this game only if this game has online play. If there isn't, then there really isn't a good reason to download this if you have Bomberman'93.

@pocketim : Im planning on getting that end of this month when i return to england. I have bomberman on XBLA also. But im gonna buy this one too if it has online You can tell when online gaming hit hudson must have thought : Bomberman + Online = ($)_($).

Finally an Online Bomberman game on the wii !

@jackaroo: I would love to play you when you get it!

i will get it 4 sure

For bomerman im more of a get everyone round a TV and play rather than online (i got the 360 one for free but play the VC one more as its 5 players). I hope this is like Starwolf_UK suggested at least 8 players offline 4 via wii remotes and 4 via the GCN pads.

i will indeed buy this!!!

I'd buy it anyways. I absolutely LOVE Bomberman. It'd be nice if it went online, but sometimes, online gaming sucks when you're not placed with ppl who rank the same as you do.

Ready for this one too, justno one of myfirst games to by, whats up with games that look like they were made on paper, not this game andnothing about paper mario,but like World of Goo fo example.

Bomberman games have the best multiplayer ever

Did i mention i will buy this?

This is shaping up very nicely.

The price may make or break it for me.

Better have online

Looks worth buying, so i'll probably get it. Hope it comes out May 12th too!!

I'll get if it has online play. I think I read somewhere that it does...

I will be keeping an eye on this one.

I can't wait!

And yes guys, it DOES have Wi-Fi. We have no clue when it'll come out. If I had to guess for our region, maybe during the Summer if not Fall?

Anyway, I have to try to set aside points for this.
I just hope there's a single-player aspect to it. Not JUST Wi-Fi, I mean, despite the fact that I also have B93.

This is my most anticipated wiiware title DX>

KnucklesSonic8,

I think Bomberman WiiWare has mainly only multiplayer. But I think there is a retail version coming out that includes a story mode though.

I'm only getting this if it has online multiplayer (against other people than friends). Otherwise I'll just stick to Bomberman '93.

I am definitely getting this game when it comes out it looks sweet!

Wow... Ive just read that Bomberman wiiware and Bommerman wii (retail) will be able to play online against each other on Battlemode.
Which really appeals to me, because to me Bomberman is all about the battle mode (thats all I ever play on Bommerman'93). So its good to see im not getting penalized for not buying retail.

From what it actually sounds like is that Bomberman wiiware is essentially a fully functioning (full online etc) stripped down copy of the retail just like how shareware games work like Doom did, so who knows if the wiiware game is that good I may even buy the reatil.

i might download this if it has online multiplayer mode

It does! Heh.

Will the Wiiware Version have a Single Player Adventure Mode too?

Thomas, with all due respect... Bomberman 64 is one of the worst ones. I do hope, for the others who may not have caught the sarcasm, that it was indeed sarcasm.

Oh and I am not being sarcastic.

Did anyone notice screenshot 8 has two different skulls - one red and one black? What's the deal with that?

Good eye, Big=Sexy. I hadn't taken a gander at the screens here at WW. Yep, you're right. I imagine it means.. instant death for a certain coloured Bomberman, maybe? Or maybe one is a Reversal of Controls and the other does something more devious such as not being able to place Bombs. I guess it's varying forms of the Virus, like in B93, the Virus item can do different things to you.

This looks intresting, especially for online multiplayer and mii support, never would of thought of mii's in bomberman, i want 2 get it, but due 2 about 300 blocks left, im gonna have 2 think about it even though its not out yet

@KnucklesSonic8-
Instant Death?! Oh god, that would break the game so fast. I was hoping something like 2 sets of diseases, instead of all negative and positive being in one Skull. I've also noticed that, while powerups from the newer Bomberman games are coming in (screenshot 9 shows White Bomberman using the Shield item) there's no confirmation on the return of the Revenge Bomber function. You know, when you die, you sidle along the edge of the screen and can throw bombs in - and if you kill someone, you come back? That one.

Also, why is there a boss screen and stage screen if the WiiWare version will be battle only? Am I looking too deep into it?

Yes i was waiting for Nintendo to have a online Bomberman game and what make it better you can vs eight people online when does this game come out

I can't say I'm too interested in this game. Although that's what I said about Dr. Mario, and look at me now, I just donwloded it yesterday. I think aall wiiware games deserve a second look.

Online Wii Ware Bomberman would be epic

Awesome!!

This is game does sound pretty sweet. But i hope it has an actual story mode like in bomberman jetters nad generaton for the gamecube. Plus dodge bomber and coin bomber from generation. But if the 1 player is just exploding enemies i wouldn't suggest buying it.

For me, an online battle mode is all I need. I never got into the single player all that much, but multiplayer has always been the best part of Bomberman, for me at least. I don't know if I'll be getting the disk game, but I'm definately getting this one.

@mr.niceguy- same. well have to exchange codes so i can kick ur ...... you get the point

^Ha-Ha! Can't wait! It's been a while since I've played multiplayer, but I bet you I'll be the one doin' the kickin', once the game comes out!

anybody have any idea of the price or release date of this?

Bomberman Generation for the GameCube has a great single player mode while still including a really fun and addictive multiplayer mode with great powerups. I'm hoping for a WiiWare version that continues the fine Bomberman tradition!

Based on the screenshots, this WiiWare version looks to be really really fun! Mii support? Eight players? I'm excited... 8D

I am so annoyed that Europe won't get the retail version and only this one. It's just not the same

I'm a bit confused. Will the retail version have everything the WiiWare version have and more, or will be both diffrent?

FINALLY......... my life is complete

@NNoah95

Yes and No: The "retail version" is the Bomberman game coming out in stores(on a disc), which has most of what the Wiiware version has plus the Singleplayer. The Wiiware version has the Retail version's Multiplayer, and I believe a few extra items and modes(don't quote me on that one). Just so you know, you can play multiplayer against people who have the retail version.

this looks awesome im def gonna download this
