Overrated as Crap

>>3898438
It's one of those games you enjoy in short bursts.

>>3898438
Have you tried Hero? It basically plays nothing like any other Bomberman game aside from the premise of using bombs to kill shit.

It is enjoyable when you play with friends
Maybe you should have some of the later to have the first one, eh?

>>3898450
Hero had the most awesome soundtrack.
It was ahead of its time.

Bomberman 64 is ass
Try super bomberman 2 or mega bomberman with friends and a multitap

Well I enjoyed the Snes ones with a multitap and friends.
Maybe it's just not the game for you, no need to go "OVERRATED AS CRAP".
People sometimes like different things and that's ok. No need to be an ass about it.

>>3898709
It was drum and bass style music, very much of its time

>It's the definition of repetitive gameplay.

It's about as formulaic as any other retro series. Do you not get bored of the redundant platforming elements of Super Mario games? Sure, Mario gets new power-ups once in a while, but the core gameplay mechanics are still the same.

Like Mario, Bomberman sequels usually add one or more subtle improvements, or take existing elements and frame them in a different perspective. e.g. There are open-world Bomberman sequels, sequels with forked stage selection, sequels done in an isometric POV, sequels with objective-based stages, etc.

Some games do make a drastic departure from the established formula, though. Pocket Bomberman is a side-view platformer that contains all the other elements of a Bomberman game; Bomberman Quest spawned a sub-series of Bomberman action-adventure games akin to Zelda.

Mega Bomberman has a lot of slowdown. Personally, I would recommend the original version (Bomberman 94' on PC-E) over this one.

>>3898438
Bomberman 64 is pretty bad for multiplayer imo
>You already starts with glove and kick
>The grid is always open, there's no progression in a match
>Circle explosions are far worse than Cross explosions
No variation makes the game repetitive pretty fast.

Try Super Bomberman 4, Super Bomberman 5, Saturn Bomberman or a pretty great fangame called Power Bomberman, these are the real deal.

This

All 3 Turbografx bomberman games have 5 players

Bomberman 94 also influenced the rest of the series with the Rouies

>>3898834

can confirm Bomberman '94 is where it's at.

Funny that no one ever mentions the Genesis / MD port of Bomberman '94. It seems like a bit of a graphics downgrade, but it's perfectly playable.

Why is this game so overrated, even by Treasure standards of overly exaggerated praise?

>>3898834
it doesn't really slow down on multiplayer
>playing 1 player bomber guy

Mega Bomberman had some epic boss fights and a good variety of stage themes and different maps with different stage hazards/tricks. Oh, and you can ride kangaroo things that have different powers like jumping and kicking bombs over blocks.

You might still find it boring, but it's the one I had the most fun with as a kid.

>>3899342

dem single player bosses tho...

Sorry but Mega Bomberman is a shitty port of Bomberman 94.
>>3898438
fuck off op. you are boring.

Can I emulate Bomberman 94?

Why didnt Hudson let Factor 5 finish that 8 player bomberman demo? Instead we got mega bomberman with only 4 player support...

>>3899362
Works fine in mednafen.

>>3899362
yes Mednafen is the best pc engine emulator. It also has netplay if you can figure that out.

>>3899369
You mean you got Saturn Bomberman with 10 player support.

>>3899373
>Works fine in mednafen.

Works fine in any emulator, you shilling faggot.

>>3899375
>best pc engine emulator

That would be Ootake. Mednafen is a bloated piece of shit.

>>3898438

64 was good, 2D aren't that great

>>3899307
its literally the n64s only good game

>>3899416
what about goemon's great adventure and f-zero x

>>3898438
How about you play a good Bomberman like the 2D, retro ones?

Super Bomberman 2-5
Bomberman '94
Saturn Bomberman
Neo Bomberman

>>3898765

Looking at gameplay for Super 2-5 it looks like the same ole repetitive stuff.

certainly seems that way anon. maybe you just hate fun.

>>3899145
It's a graphics downgrade with different songs and also some slowdown, and 4 players. It's inferior in every aspect even if it's still pretty good

It also doesn't have the same legacy as 94, one of the last HuCards ever made

>only played 64's shitty multiplayer
>"all Bomberman is boring"
kek

Go play Super Bomberman 2 with a few friends, then talk shit.
A lot of the Bomberman games are really similar, but it's not like you have to buy them all. Just get one good 2D Bomberman game, and you don't need any more. Single-player usually gets boring, but that's not what gets praised about these games.

>It's a graphics downgrade with different songs and also some slowdown

We didn't all have access to PCE hardware back in that day, though. It was pretty obscure here in the States. And Bomberman '94 was never officially localized to English. So Mega Bomberman was the only thing we got.
