Title: Bomberman Blast
Post by: Mario on September 13, 2008, 10:09:28 PM
This is my first bomberman game (I know I know.. about time) so i'm no expert on what the series normally has, but this is bloody amazing with the best multiplayer ever. 8 players can play off one system using 4 GC controllers and 4 wiimotes, and 4 can play online via the same system. There's heaps of modes and options and it's just full of hilarity. Get it if you like multiplayer and bomberman without a doubt.
Friend code thread please.

WiiWare version is out in Australia. Don't know what the release schedule for other regions is.

tell me about the control methods? (wiimote? mote and chuck?)

Wiimote held sideways. Dpad to move, 2 to drop bombs, A to "taunt" (custom message plus custom pose). I think 1 is throw bombs or something, i'm still getting used to bomberman. No pointer in the game. Nunchuck not used, Cube controller an option, haven't used it but I'd guess the button layout is fairly simple.

You can play with your Mii's correct? When they walk into a bomb, is there any guts that fly and stick to the screen?

You can put a Mii head on your character yep, but I haven't figured out how to do it. I played with Infernal for about an hour and he was using his Mii, that's how I know. No guts but "you're FUCKED" screams at you through the wiimote speaker.

Apparently this doesn't even have a release date here in the U.S. yet... =(

On Wiiware World it sounded like you have to unlock it by playing every world at least once. Maybe they wanted players to give the default look a chance or something...

There is a full Bomberman game coming out on the Wii as well. And that one will be multiplayer compatible with the WiiWare version, but also have a full single player experience, and more importantly a few extra multiplayer levels.
I am having a hard time deciding which one to get.

Since when did WiiWare games get release dates more than a week in advance, if at all?
What Spak said...The fact that there isn't a release date for the retail version, and that it's unlikely that they'd release the WiiWare version before said retail version, is a bit annoying... =\

Bomberman games are amazing. Crazy fun.

So apparently I suck at Bomberman. :(
Gotta keep practicing, I suppose.

The game feels very different from the Bomberman's of old. I cut my teeth on Super Nintendo Bomberman 1 and 2...and this game plays different. Not bad, but being able to run diagonal is very strange.
The weapons seem simplified, as in there are some powerups it appears you can only hold one at a time. I actually like this if it is true better than previous games because there is some strategy to picking up items.

I agree, it feels very different. The play areas also seem a little crowded, almost as if there's too much going on at once. I find it really hard to find where you are at the start of the level, too.
Oh yeah, and I suck.

If you mean bomb types those were always mutually exclusive AFAIK

KDR: Not just Bomb Types.
1)The Shake Items for defense are all mutual abilities: Turn into Bomb (which is really cool), Jetpack (Somewhat cool), and Shield (Annoying)
2)Also, I found if I had the line bomb I could not use the pickup bomb ability. Perhaps I just didn't do it right, but that is what I am trying to figure out.
I think they may have made the game to where you can't just become this impossible Super-powered Bomber. Which I like.
Finally, what I HATE, HATE, HATE is the slower animations that just slow the entire game down. Punching glove is useless, because where it used to be a fast reaction to get bombs away from you...the animation is slow and turns it into a liability.

Does the game have the punch and kick power ups? Can you still spread diseases?
Title: Re: Bomberman Blast
Post by: KDR_11k on September 30, 2008, 01:33:10 PM
I recall reading that diseases spread. I wonder if it's replacing the tag-you're-it skulls or if it's in addition (I know Atomic Bomberman had both types).
Title: Re: Bomberman Blast
Post by: Spak-Spang on September 30, 2008, 01:46:55 PM
KDR: It is additional, and there is some lag there.
In fact the entire game seems to have have laggish behavior.
Punch animation lag, pickup animation lag.
Switching desease lag, switching King Lag.
My favorite mode in the game Countdown, has bad lag in switching the countdown clock.
You would think with all my complaining that I don't like the game...far from it. I think the additions they added to this game, make it one of the best Bomberman games...I just think some things they did made it worse.

Another version of this game was announced for the PSN today. I may wait to get that one as I won't have to clean the fridge and I'll be able to yell at others online when they try to infect me with one of their disgusting diseases.

Don't know if it affects your purchase decision at all, but the PSN version only allows 4 players locally (whereas the WiiWare version allows up to eight).
DAMN YOU EMOTICONS!!

Sadly, I don't even have four friends locally! They're all in the Midwest...

You can also get Bomberman Live on XBLA. I think this game just suits the Wii though.

Thing is, I don't like controlling Bomberman with a joystick. Damn shame the 360 didn't come with a D-Pad.

Is online multiplay playable across regions?
Title: Re: Bomberman Blast
Post by: NWR_Lindy on October 01, 2008, 10:57:36 PM
You can choose "Continental" or "World", so yeah. I'm seeing a lot of people with Japanese names, too many to be American kids trying to be cool.

I'm downloading this game as I type.
Megaman 9 got me into Wii Ware! Let's see if this lil game will be worth my Wii points.

This game was the best game on WiiWare for a week, and it's still one of the best multiplayer games on the Wii, download or disc. It's one of the few games that I can say will be on my Wii forever, never removed from the fridge.

Don't forget to utilize the Bomberman Blast friend code thread (http://www.nintendoworldreport.com/forums/index.php?topic=26187.0). I have yet to play an online game against friends. :(
