Bomberman 64 coming to the Wii U Virtual Console?

I hope so, and I also hope linking to Nintendo Everything is okay! :O

Anyway, while I prefer The Second Attack (and it'd be awesome for more people to play that one since it's, as the kids say, hella expensive even cart-only), Bomberman 64 is also pretty awesome. Though I totally sucked any time I needed to make a bomb bridge to bounce across. :0

Yeah, sounds good to me. I rented this back in the day, I wish I got to play it more.

I enjoy this one, but the single player on Second Attack is better, so that's the one I'd be most excited for. Still, the N64 bomberman games are my jam because I honestly don't really like the gameplay style of more vanilla bomberman games.

Nice little gem. Wish that we had the VC on Switch as well. Could be a nice alternative to Bomberman R.

You don't expect Nintendo to launch a system with something close to fully designed online services, do you? ;)
Just some random guy on the internet who has a different opinion of games than you.

While the single-player is better in Second Attack, I felt the multiplayer was better in this game. One of the reasons is because Second Attack returns to the plus-shaped bomb explosions, but keeps the 3D arenas, a combination I feel doesn't work very well. It does however, have the awesome King and Knights music. Hm...

Whaaaaa?!?!!!? When I got my N64 for Christmas I got Bomberman and star Fox 64 as my first games. This game is so near and dear to me! Man I gotta play that multiplayer again! "Hurry Up!"
Nintendo players and One Piece readers, just better people.

It seems like ever since Microsoft released the Rare collection with N64 games, Nintendo's finally started stepping up in giving more 64 games the VC treatment. It's good to see.
Whoever said, "Cheaters never win" must've never met Khushrenada.
