Bomberman has arrived to restore peace on the planet, which has been split into five parts by an evil hand. In addition to the nine members of the Bomber Family, the character Rooi shows up to lend a hand.

Jump on the eggs that appear from destroyed soft blocks and you can ride one of five types of Rooi. Each Rooi has different special abilities - use them well and you'll ride to victory.

Bomberman has arrived to restore peace on the planet, which has been split into five parts by an evil hand.

Bomberman has seen a release on just about every console out there over the years, and while you'll definitely get contrasting opinions on which version of the game is the best, it's pretty indisputable that Bomberman '94 is one of them. Bomberman '94 was..

Judging by the screenshots this looks better than Bomberman 93. Worth a look for single player?

2. Link79 28 Jan 2009, 11:39 GMT

I'm still trying to choose between Bomberman 93 or Bomberman blast on Wii ware. Now this one is coming out too. I'd like to get at least one of them but I don't know which is best.

I'm also considering this but memory is my concern and the TG16 games require less memory

4. Kelvin 28 Jan 2009, 13:53 GMT

@slangman yeah, this has a stronger single-player game than '93 and is a general improvement in most other areas too.

Glad they released this version and not the Megadrive one. 100 points cheaper and no borders or 50hz to put up with.

Wow, so this means more Bombermans are possible! Super Bomberman series and all! ^^

God, Japan has had this game since VC started over there! XD

I was never that interested in Bomber Man, and there are too many versions for me to choose from. I guess I'll have to pass on this one.

Didn't the SNES bombermans peak and then get worse as they went on. That's the way I remember Super Play telling it. I have Bomberman for the Saturn but I'd like the immediacy of a Wii version

Super Bomberman 3 is pretty good. 4 is maybe slightly better. 5 seems like a big step backwards. And Saturn Bomberman is the best traditional Bomberman game.

I have Mega Bomberman; how is this "superior" to the megadrive one? Isn't the megadrive a more powerful system?

11. Drake 30 Jan 2009, 10:55 GMT

The most obvious thing this has over Mega Bomberman is that this supports 5-player, while Mega can only do up to 4. For the rest it's a matter of taste, but most (sane ) people prefer the TG16's sound chip to the Mega Drive's. The graphics are about the same.

This is my all-time favorite Bomberman game. And Twinbee is fantastic as well. Hudson and Konami picked two great games with these.

Kangaroos? Awesome.

14. MrLopez 20 Feb 2009, 16:31 GMT

Wow that underwater level looks amazing! Can't wait for this game!

15. Kobayashi 20 Feb 2009, 16:55 GMT

Bomberman is one my favorite game series. I like Bomberman ´93 very much and of course I put Bomberman ´94 on my VC wish list.

16. tatemon555 03 Mar 2009, 13:23 GMT

@Kobayashi: You are officially one of my best friends. Bomberman, in my opinion, is the best multiplayer series ever, and ranks itself for me just under Mario.

17. Shinnok 04 Mar 2009, 22:33 GMT

Most people like Mario, though I can't understand why. The older games were pretty fun, and Super Mario 64 was fun, but other than that, it baffles me.
