Only Bombermen I've played are the one that came hidden on the TurboDuo pack-in disc, and the Saturn one.
What am I missing out on?

The only Bombermans I've played is Heroes and Generations (not retro). Picked up Bomberman Story for GBA and know nothing about it. What am I in for?
Also why the fuck does Bomberman have a sword?

What bomberman game has a bunch of dialogue?

Outside 64 era and jetters, I never played bomberman game with some nice story

>>3757450
The Second Attack is probably the most plot heavy game. Other than that uhh... Bomberman is not really a game you play for the story.

>>3757464
By story, I really just mean dialogue.
I tried playing Bomberman Quest, and I enjoyed how Bomberman actually talks.
Boring game though

Second Attack has a shitload of dialog.

Bomberman himself is a silent protagonist though, until you beat the game and it shows him talking to various characters throughout the story. I always thought that was a neat twist to the whole silent protagonist angle.

I know PJ64 is shit, but hopefully it'll work

>>3757954
It's okay, Saturn Bomberban's better with 8 players than 9 or 10 anyway due to the limited 9/10-player maps. So you only need 7 other people.

It's robotic without being too robotic (lite the original Famicom artwork), it's cute without being cutesy, it's small without being tiny, it's simple without being minimalist. I prefer later Bomberman's color scheme but this Bomberman looks like a perfect take on what he was originally supposed to be. I like the other designs too though, except the ones that make him lanky.

My favorite classic Bomberman is tough to choose.

When I was a kid The Second Attack was my all time favorite game, I fucking loved it. The co-op story, the amazing multiplayer, the huge as fuck levels, and especially that cuhrazy storyline.

I tried going back to it recently though and playing it again, it's a pretty rough game. Now the long cutscenes annoy me rather than enthrall me, I think the storyline (which is basically power rangers vs the bible) is just goofy rather than the coolest thing ever like I thought it was as a kid. A lot of the levels have pretty forced and unnatural backtracking. It makes good use of the new bomb types you get, but plenty of times in levels it's still just
press a switch
that opens the way to another switch on the other side of the level
press that switch
that opens the way to another switch on the other side of the level

And sometimes what the switches do is nonsensical. One I pressed made a cage that had another switch inside of it shatter into a bunch of pieces. What the hell? A lot of the backtracking isn't tied to your abilities like in other exploration games. Some of it is, but nowhere near enough. Makes the game pretty frustrating.

But it was my favorite game as a kid and I'm nostalgic as fuck for it. Also it still has the best multiplayer is the whole franchise.

But overall, the first Bomberman 64 holds up much better and is one I can go back to and play anytime. So I don't know which of those two is my favorite.

Sorry for the long rant but TSA is a pretty unknown game so I don't get a lot of chances to talk about it.

>>3757506
Apparently there's an english patch for the rom floating around somewhere. I haven't tried it out yet myself but you can probably find it on google pretty easily.

While Saturn Bomberman and Super Bomberman 2 remain my overall favorites, Bomberman 64 (the 2D japan-only title) is one of my top BM games, and often overlooked.

>>3761287
What's this image from?

Bombermqn '94 on the TG-16 had the best mix of powerups and I don't think anybody plays on the extra maps. Bomberman Online for Dreamcast comes in second place for me simply because of the game modes. Bomberman 64 was fun I guess but the only good part was that each map had their own last minute end game thing.

The Bomberman 64 titles and Hero were my favorite. I really enjoyed how they incorporated platforming into the franchise. Plus, the music was fantastic in the titles. Was hoping the Switch one would continue with this formula rather than go back to its more traditional roots.

>>3764659
The new one should have been a successor to those 3 games, not a remake of Super Bomberman 1.

I have that special kind of autism where I don't want to get into a series if I can't get into it from the very beginning.

Is it just me or is the first Bomberman absolute shit?

I'm trying to fight against that autism though, the second one seems a lot better.

The NES one? I mean it's okay, nothing really special. It actual gets pretty fun when you get the fire vest and the remote bomb and just rape everything.

>>3764774
Not him but that's my problem with the first game. You need to get a bunch of power ups before the game feels fun at all.

>>3764771
Yeah I'd recommend just starting from 2. It's much more fun.

>>3764771
>I have that special kind of autism where I don't want to get into a series if I can't get into it from the very beginning.
Me too, but you could consider the TG16 version the "definitive" beginning. I mean nobody gives a shit about the real first one on some ancient computer where he's a guy in a hat.

I don't like the later take on Bomberman's world, I think it started with Super Bomberman 3 where "Bomberman" is an entire species on a Bomber world, instead of a handful of robots on a futuristic Earth.

>>3772414
I don't have a problem with it, I mean, the former setting is more "dramatic" and cold if you ask me, but I think that the "Bomberman species" thing with many distinctic bombers, characters and cities works pretty well within the series style too.

here's my bomberman collection. i think i had bomberman max for gameboy color as well.

out of all of these, i had the most fun with hero and 2nd attack. the music in hero is of the best music in any video game ever. also have had a lot of fun with saturn (just recently picked it up - haven't had it since childhood like a lot of these other ones)

>>3772436
I think the former leaves a lot of room for more variety and depth, and makes Bomberman the character as well as his brothers more unique and interesting within said world, in a futuristic Earth Bomberman pops, in a Bomberman world he's just another Bomberman.

When I was younger and didn't understand that the Bomberman series doesn't give a fuck about continuity, I thought that the original Bomberman and the others who busted out of the mining facility were the ancestors of all the other bombermen. Looking back now I still kind of like that idea.

For whatever reason I think it's really fitting for Bomberman to fit both the hero and Everyman roles so I don't mind the newer games being about one random bomber guy who just happens to step up and save the day when he's needed.

>>3773064
I don't mind it for some spin-off games and some games, but I wish it didn't become the norm, the old setting has a lot more potential. It's why Kotetsu and Honey are my favorite Bomberman friends, they're not just more "Bombermen". I also like the plot of Bomberman II, where he's just treated as a guy in a city. The scientist making more and more Bombers is fine, I like the Bomber family form '94, but when it becomes an entirely different world full of the Bomberman race it's going a bit too far.

2.If we're actually going to bitch about a slight reference to Bomberman and the only inconsistency being the version referenced supported up to 8 players rather than only 4 than I think our priorities are in the wrong place.

3. If you really do need a valid reason as to why a fictional character would refer to a fictional version of a game in the wrong tense solely because of the console it's on, then look no further than the Wii's own emulation capabilities, not even only through piracy but through the numerous Bomberman games on the Wii's virtual console.

Is Bomberman gay?

I don't mean to set off some kind of shitposting explosion by asking this, but bomberman art really sets off my gaydar.

>>3761034 (look at red and blue!)

No, it's rank bullshit from very early on. Tedious, repetitive, slippery, time wasting AI. Over abundance of items. No time limit or falling blocks. It's a pretty bad game, probably the worst Bomberman I've played so far.

>>3775701
Don't blame the standard, blame the ones who refused to apply the standard.

>>3775848
The focus of the game is not singleplayer but multiplayer, though.
The Battle Trial is just a little extra, the real meat is the classic battle mode, and this shit is one of the best ones to ever exist.

>>3775872
Shouldn't have wasted time making an irritating half-assed single player mode then. I'll probably never play this multiplayer, I'll stick with '94, Super 4, and Saturn.

>>3775891
Well, your choice, your loss, I truly believe that the Battle Mode is better than Saturn Bomberman, which is already regarded as one of the best Bomberman.

Hell, I can't even play Super 4 anymore (which was my previous favorite) after playing this game, the flexibility/new things are too good in PB.

you can even see in readme that buttons have a similar amount of functions if you don't feel like sitting through the item cutscenes anyway

>>3775923
I did watch them. Picking up/throwing is tied with the same button you use to lay down bombs, which is really clunky. The punch is rare, less useful, and redundant.

>>3775932
punch is very useful because it's one of the most powerful escape tools in every bomberman game it's in and it's pretty op in this game
power glove is on the bomb button in majority of the games it's in, saturn bomberman and ultra/live are exceptions here

>>3775938
*kicks*

>>3775921
Punch, Drill, Detonator, Push, Bead Bomb, Shield, Bomb Change, Ruse and Remote Control are NOT tied to the A button.

The only items tied to A are the glove variants (Power Glove, Juggle Glove, Super Power Glove) and the Line Bomb, that's it.

>>3775932
>>3775943
I don't know what you're talking about, picking/throwing always worked like that (using the same A button) in the Super Bomberman games, for example.
If you're talking about picking players, you can easily disable that feature before a battle.

>The punch is rare, less useful, and redundant.
>*kicks*
Dude! Punch is the real deal, it's faster and more versatile than the Power Glove, only using "Power Glove+Kick" is the basic strat, you can do crazy shit if you know how to use the Punch.
