Can we have a thread about Bomberman? I never see this series

bomberman is so comfy

I've only played Pocket Bomberman and I can't stand it because the buttons are backwards and they can't be switched.

Bomberman is awesome

PAL version of Saturn Bomberman a shit.

What, I see Bomberman threads frequently on /vr/. Anyway, since we're sharing useless interesting trivia, the cover of Baku Bomberman parallels the one of Super Mario 64, down to the characters' asses being burned.

My favorite is neo bomberman for neo geo
I used to 1cc it, it was great

A couple years ago I played a SNES emulator on my PS2 and would play Bomberman 5 for hours with 4 other friends

Amazed it never ended in a fistfight

Yeah super bomberman 5 is nice

I played it for the Famicom quite often when I was a preteen, but I wasn't really able to LOVE it. I just don't give a fuck about puzzleshit in general, but for puzzleshit, it was certainly good

Bomberman Tournament / Story is an underrated comfy game.

NOT RETRO but I agree.

I only recently noticed, but Bomberman games have something to the effect of a Konami code. If you input 5656 as your password in many games, you'll get to play an unlocked you vs.CPU mode, or some other hidden game mode.

Bomberman Quest is actually a pretty good Link's Awakening-style action game.

I remember the GB one with the whip was extremely long. Fun though.

Super 2 and 64 were good, and the MP for both were great too.

Mega Bomberman on Genesis had good MP, but I don't remember the SP at all.

My favorite series. Comfy as fuck. Can pick it up and play anytime.

My favorite is '93 for the TG16. I don't care for the animal mechanics in later games (too Super Mario World for my tastes). Bomberman II for NES isn't bad, but lacks bosses.

I've always been into the 3D adventure games more, I like the classic 2D games but they're all a bit too similar for me to care much about the differences.

Not retro but I'm gonna recommend Bomberman 2 on the DS to everyone in the thread. It's the only one of the topdown 2D games in the series that I've ever been able to get REALLY into and I never see it mentioned. Which is a shame, because it felt like the first game in a long while to do something new with the classic formula.

>I like the classic 2D games but they're all a bit too similar for me to care much about the differences.
They're about as different as one Mario sequel to another. i.e. There's the occasional bit of innovation, like Pocket Bomberman being a side-view platformer, Bomberman Quest being a Zelda clone, and the eventual introduction of Rooi or the charaboms to the series. So they're not totally identical.

I wish Hudson had tried to experiment with the idea of a roguelike Bomberman. Stages are already pseudo-randomized in Bomberman games, but imagine stages as proper dungeons, and elements like statistically randomized equipment drops.

Oh yeah, I love Pocket Bomberman. By classic 2D I meant the ones like the Super games, Saturn, etc. I wasn't saying all 2D Bombermans are alike. I just meant the ones that stick to the classic formula of topdown grids where you clear one room of enemies at a time. The non-spinoff mainseries ones I guess.

I would certainly say theres a bigger difference between, say, Mario 3 and World than between Super Bomberman 3 and 4.
