has it gotten any updates yet? I heard it had some serious performance issues on the Switch


also I looked at some footage and it looked kinda bland? The environments all looked the same and everything was just kind of drab.

never heard of this game but that is a good dog :shittydog:

The load times are a little long and it does sometimes hitch.
The levels are deffo uninspired but the meat of the game is unlocking spells and making a build that works fpr you.

I made a loadout that I thought was perfect and ignored everything I unlocked. Don't do that. Try everything. You want to shoot a little fireball OR toss out bait that aggros enemies and summons a giant ice shark?

Is he the dude from Bomberman 64 that's basically his Meta Knight? (Except it turns out he really is a bad guy)

I'm assuming you're talking about Sirius?
Or are you talking about Regulus who was both a space pirate and a space knight?

Bring back N64 Bomberman lore tbh.

Ballom are the primary antagonist of Bomberman. There are many ballom looking to get in your way, so blow them all up

Here's some pics of ballom to get you in the mood





Sometimes ballom is in Jamaica

I played and loved Bomberman Hero as a kid and I was super disappointed to find out what Bomberman games are "supposed" to be like :smith:

EDIT: Hero was a good platformer and I'm sad people didn't realize it was a spinoff. Bad marketing strikes again!

Mega64 posted:

Bombermen were robots made for mining, forced to fight and one fought out of a mine. Then they're like, just normal citizens? So that was cool. Then our hero went out into space and dealt with space pirates and knights and demons and angels. It's unclear how much of this takes place how long from each other game or if Bomberman is the same from each.

Hope this helps.

Calling him Bombermans Meta Knight is kinda true, but nah he wasn't in 64.

Max is a good guy and Bomberman's partner/mentor depending on the game. Only time he's evil is in that weird rear end anime no one watched. Heck Max even had some games of his own.

Well who's the one I'm thinking of, he could fly and was in like white armor

Bomberman 2 is the DS chronological predecessor to Bomberman Zero



Bomberman's mission is to get the upgrades necessary to become his final form seen in BZ



His friends customize themselves too



At the cost of his soul, he inches closer to Zero Bomber



Will he get to be a Zero Bomber, or will ballom get him...

What did they do to make Bomberman R better? I remember seeing that it was trash at launch, but if it actually is a legit game now maybe I'll look for a cheap copy somewhere.
