Hudson VP of Sales and Marketing, John Lee, hosted his own Q&A session on
NeoGAF early this morning, dropping a few
bombs about the company's digital distribution plans. The big reveal was confirmation of a
Bomberman game for WiiWare that'll be "different" (and yet the same) as
Bomberman LIVE, as it's based on the series' "classic" gameplay -- yep, just like
Bomberman '93. Lee added that
Bomberman will likely be "one of the few classic games" that Hudson will develop for WiiWare.
On the horizon for
XBLA, Hudson is busy with an often lucrative, yet rarely respected "licensed" game ...
um ... and moving
quickly on ... "Yes, eventually we'll do something for
PSN," Lee writes, "Now that it's doing much better, and looking more impressive each day, we are looking at bringing some franchises over." More
Bomberman? Sounds like it.

So, thats how the son of Samus and Iron Man would look like?
Cesaria @ Mar 13th 2008 5:27PM
Haha, you are so correct.

Port the 16-player (Saturn?) version and make it Online and it'll be a winner.
WiNG @ Mar 13th 2008 4:22PM
It was up to 10 players, with two 6-player adapters (capped at 10, even though physically you can plug in 12 controllers).
Haon @ Mar 13th 2008 4:23PM
You would think its that that simple but these guys cant seem to wrap their collective minds around it. Id kill for the genesis version too.
nerrrrrrd @ Mar 13th 2008 4:17PM
how 'classic' is it? is it online? if it's old school style with lag free online, it will be great! I know I enjoy it now on XBLA.
samfish @ Mar 13th 2008 4:21PM
I'm like 97% positive they said it would be online. I swore I read it at GoNintendo a day or two ago.
xeleion @ Mar 13th 2008 5:19PM
@ samfish
Is it true? Is it really online? You've just made my dreams come true, Hudson.
WiNG @ Mar 13th 2008 4:23PM
I am going to ask a stupid question, and I think the answer will be horrible, but I'm not sure.
What is that a picture of? I thought it was some Iron Man thing.
Fernando Rocker @ Mar 13th 2008 4:24PM
Bomberman Zero for the 360.
WiNG @ Mar 13th 2008 4:38PM
wow, that .... is.... horrible
Mr Khan @ Mar 13th 2008 5:21PM
It's a favorite for top 10 "Worst games ever" lists, because it committed the same sin that Shadow the Hedgehog did, albiet in a much worse way
Its the only game from this generation to get there, although why the Wii Far Cry isn't, i don't know
samfish @ Mar 13th 2008 5:42PM
Because Wii FarCry is just a wretched piece of horse shit.
Games like Bomberman 360 and Shadow the Hedgehog (although Sonic 06 was worse) are wretched, festering abominations that eat that horse shit off the ground and then go to use a public pool as a toilet and shit out their foulness during kiddy swim lessons.
D_Average @ Mar 13th 2008 4:38PM
If it has no online...no thanks
thesimplicity @ Mar 13th 2008 4:47PM
Just put Super Bomberman 5 on the Virtual Console. Thanks, Hudson.
Aaron Yamoah @ Mar 13th 2008 5:39PM
They need to bring out the N64 version. That was by far the best version yet there has never been another version like it! Why?!
Mills and Boom @ Mar 13th 2008 6:11PM
That was the first N64 game I ever played. I remember thinking "smooth textures!" and being very happy. Did so much our PS1 could only dream of.
Mills and Boom @ Mar 13th 2008 6:08PM
Le shrug. I'm happy with Bomberman DS (the first one, where you CAN SHOUT TO DETONATE STUFFS). Barrel of laughs that especially at airports.
FireStiq @ Mar 13th 2008 6:33PM
Please O please HUDSON make a next gen Bloody Roar game, a true update to BR2: the new breed (new game engine, better character story and more bloody combos)because BR3 and 4 sucked a**.
Psaakyrn @ Mar 13th 2008 11:18PM
erm... 15 player codes to get one good game going? :o
hvnlysoldr @ Mar 29th 2008 7:48PM
Hudson is starting to become a favorite developer of mine.
