Saturn Bomberman coming to XBLA?

Post by Vexorg »

The Saturn version of Bomberman might be on its way to Xbox Live Arcade, judging by comments made by Hudson's online marketing manager to US website 1UP.

During a recent conversation with the unnamed bloke-in-question, 1UP claims he said that the possibility of Bomberman joining the Arcade line-up is "under evaluation" and the Saturn version would be a great addition.


Bomberman on Xbox Live? Sold.

Bomberman DS doesn't support Wi-fi, only DS-to-DS (ad hoc) play. You can have 8 people play on 1 card though. The singleplayer component was rather lacking though, so it's not really worth getting unless you have other people around to play against.

Saturn Bomberman online would be sweet. I enjoyed Bomberman Online quite a bit while it lasted.

Read about this yesterday on TNL. Here's hoping it moves quickly from "evaluation mode" to reality. Old school sprite BMan will guarantee a subscription from me to XBL.

Saturn B-man is teh B3st! I wish it was a sprite update tho. With all the graphical power of the saturn, I've always been dissapointed with the art direction of Sat B-man. Mainly with the low rez, but even worse, the low color count. But gameplay is all there and hasn't been touched since - evar!

April fools stuff? Maybe you're thinking of Bomberman Fight! but Saturn Bomberman is sprite based and in 640x480.

Didn't know the DS one didn't have online, that sorta sucks.

10-player Bomberman on Live sounds like a good reason to subscribe. You can play XBL Arcade games on a standard X-Box, right?

There are some XBLA games available for the original Xbox, but now all of the new releases are for the 360.
