Is this bomberman?

So, what was the story (hahaha) behind the original Japanese release of Bomberman, anyway? I know the USA version had a weird subplot involving escape from bomb-making dungeons, but the game DOES end with Bomberman turning into a human.. which gives me the idea that the original game was intended to be "robot becomes a human", but Hudson tossed the "story" out the window to make a sequel.

That just destroyed my beautiful memories of Bomberman 64.
I mean...why...
It's so...so....wtf.
Okay so I am guessing next we will see Ninja Party starring chibi Ryu Hayabusa and then Sonic with Guns...okay scratch that one already.
What about Zelda/Link hot coffee scene? Master Chief strategy RPG?

*some* things are so finely balanced as is, that they are almost perfect and should not be drastically changed - being on a new platform is enough. EG Mario Tennis on Gamecube (pointless power ups, main game fine as it was, just like the N64 version);

its tricky with IP like bomberman. On the one hand, people like yourself consider it a 'minigame' or retro, and therefore suitable for budget release on XBLA. On the otherhand, Hudson probably consider it one of their primary IPs and therefore still relevant for full price release on consoles.
Ok, now I'm getting irritated.
Yes, I like the look. I think its cool. The gameplay looks to be pretty damn identical. Its japanese, its more than likely going to have online multiplayer, and it has designs that look very japanese mecha-ish. Why the hell are you homps not raving over it? Because it doesn't have the same cutesy iconic Bomberman character that they've used since 1990? Its Hudson's IP, I'm sure they have a pretty good idea what they want to do with it. If the gameplay is fun, then what the hell?
This insulting of folks who own Xboxes as "the bastardization of videogames" is weak. This has almost nothing to do with western gamers. The majority of Japanese x360 games are NOT first-person shooters. This is a japanese game, that in my opinion, does not have "generic" design. It just not be everybody's taste. Personally, the whole chibi bomberman design is pretty silly, along with half of hudsons other older games, like Bonk.
If you don't like it, fair enough. But insulting an entire userbase of a console based off of designs of a game still in development by a non-western company is.... disappointing.

The Xbox platforms totally bastardized the aesthetics of games. Games like Panzer Dragoon Orta, Jet Set Radio Future, Stranger's Wrath, Psychonauts, and Phantom Dust were all given horribly compromised designs to accomodate the strange cool/badass/future fetishes of the weirdo Xbox fans. These games would have looked totally different, actually good, if developed for other systems. Instead they are pure crap because that's how games are supposed to look on the Xbox.
Hudson freakin' rocks and there's no way they would produce this ugly crap if they were catering to true gamers on real gaming platforms. Microsoft is obviously forcing this crap on the Japanese culture and must be stopped now.

I think the game looks pretty cool but the huge change from the cutesy look to this very dark look is just to much!

HOLYCOW they've ruined it
If it still plays well, then who cares? I bet half the people in this thread didn't really care much about Bomberman before this game, but are acting out due to the herd mentality of this entire line of posts.
Anyways, visually it looks nice. Artistically, it's definitely a deviation, but the gameplay looks true to form.

Bomberman FUUUUUUUUU~~
I weep for Online Bomberman DS. Hell, the first Bomberman DS was incredibly Weaksauce. The Super Bombermans, Saturn Bomberman, Bomberman 64 and Mega Bomberman had a LOT more style to it. BDS was as basic as you can get.
Hell, just look at the last few games posted. Hudson have NO idea what to do with the character anymore. Look at the last few games featuring Bomberman:
What is that shit? That's worse than the current Pac-Man whoring Namco's doing! :lol
The Bomberman Tournament and Bomberman Max games were on the right track:
And in terms of style:

Now THIS Bomberman looks like shit.... Geezus.
Atomic Bomberman was actually pretty enjoyable. I loved the art style... I always remember I had a problem running it on my computer because I had I believe it was a 486 - 100 mhz and it needed a pentium-100 mhz. I can't remember the specs exactly, but I do know I was a bit underpowered and it ran choppy, but I had a lot of fun with it. It came out at only 30 dollars too. Damn, I used to be obsessed with Bomberman. The good ol' days.
