A scan from the latest edition of Famitsu has unearthed some juicy details from the upcoming WiiWare bomberman, including 8-player Wi-Fi battles.

Hudson is taking the classic franchise to the online world on WiiWare, with a story-mode for solo bombing, spanning 5 worlds and 39 areas, and an epic battle arena for up to 8 players going head to head online.

  • First WiiWare Bomberman Scan
  • Thanks to Phoenixus for the tip.

    This looks great! 8 player online bomberman action will be great fun.

    I am going to buy this one for sure.

    It's a perfect wiiware addition and the online is gonna rock Smilie

    How will 8 players work on 1 screen? Oh well, sounds excellent. Except Story mode, can we expect another remake of the original Bomberman? Like the original Bomberman DS?

    about time, I think the turbografx bomberman has seen a lot of play on my wii and think this is a great idea, definitely going to get it, though I hope local multiplayer is supported (8 players would be nice Smilie)

    Same as it does on the Xbox LIVE Bomberman, I guess. Smilie

    Will most likely buy this, looks very nice. Smilie

    They should really increase board sizes if they're gonna allow 8 players.

    Of course, that's just an opinion.
    Cubed3 Member

    Did anyone notice the bottom-left corner of the scan? Is that Mii support? Heck yeah! Here's hoping! I'm getting this one.

    Cubed3 Member

    I will own this game as soon as its released.

    I didn't realise the Miis before... FUCK playable Miis. Nintendo have to go and fuck up every decent game series on the planet with their annoying avatar system don't they... argh. >.<

    I for one am SO GLAD there are no Miis in Brawl. Mii overload is annoying, especially since I don't like their graphical style.

    Didn't you get all excited when you heard Miis would be playable in Mario and Sonic?Smilie

    I guess so, but I was so naive less than half a year ago. Smilie

    Wow I'm such a hypocrite. Smilie

    wow wii is kicking it up a notch

    Cubed3 Member

    Seems like a perfect game for miis really. I don't see what the problem could be.

    If this releases at the standard 800 points for wiiware games, this will be a well worth purchase. Bomberman can have some awesome multiplayer interaction. Hopefully you can also play with 8 people on one console (four wiimotes and four GC controllers).

    Cubed3 Member

    I already have 5 player (extra GC controller hooked in) Bomberman 93 on the VC, but this looks great. WiFi and 8 players could warrant another purchase depending on price.

    Bomberman is highly addictive in multiplayer games with four people

    ModeratorStaff Member

    Aww, I would gladly take other characters from the Bomberman universe like MAX, Mujoe and Pretty Bomber over Miis. Smilie

    And every character from Bomberman Jetters.

    I've already got the 360 XBLA game, but for those that don't this will be a great buy.

    Add me on anything. I'm always looking for new friends/opponents/town visitors/chances to appear more popular than I actually am.
    Cubed3 Member

    Oh man I am getting this and Tetris day one. I'm so excited for WiiWare!!

    Cubed3 Member

    oh wow, definetly downloading this one!Smilie
