>there are people who actually prefer the original primitive as shit Bomberman over the far better sequel probably because they're Third Worlders who played it on a 100 in 1 multicart

Third worlder here, i've never seen a single person who particularly likes the very first Bomberman, in fact most people think the series started with Super Bomberman 1.

[Anonymous No.10187462]

it's cute in a jank 80s way but it looks more like a Colecovision than a NES game

Third worlder here. Super Bomberman 4 is the actual best bomberman game. This is not debatable.

I went to a PC summer camp in elementary school and everyone got great computers that could run games like Jazz Jackrabbit 2 meanwhile me and some other kid got computers that could play… Dynablaster in black and white in DOS. The only game. I thought it was a fanmade ripoff of Super Bomberman for years.

[Anonymous No.10187597]

For me, it's Party Edition.

I only got into Bomberman as an adult, and OG Bomberman's still really comfy for me, I play it more than Bomberman 2, not saying it's better, but for some reason I prefer it.

Well, I’m not one of those people. While the first Bomberman on NES is iconic, II is way better. More graphical variety, better controls, more (and great sounding) music, battle mode. I get bored of the first one after stage 5, so I never beat that one.
But the PC Engine games and all the Super games are better, but still a great NES game.
>>10187998
I know, it’s crazy. I consider myself a huge Bomberman fan, but I’ve only played a little over 30 of the games. Can’t decide on a favorite because I enjoyed many of them.

[Anonymous No.10188019]

>>10187998
I watched the 8 hour video essay going over every single bomberman game and I didnt retain a goddamn thing. Except I found out after 30 years Bomberman is a robot with a TV screen face. And Bagura is probably the professor who made Bomberman and Black and Honey Bomber is his daughter.

And Konami made the games incestual. And theres a weird super sentai PSP game. So nothing useful like what the fuck games I should play

Same bro. And I wouldn't really rush to play all of them, considering we don't have Hudson around anymore. I'd rather taste them slowly.

I'll admit that i'm a third-worlder who started with 100in1 carts and original Bomberman, so I always would be biased towards it, but I just love the simplicity of concept. How you slowly turn from weak and scared creature to almighty machine of death transcending time and bricks by collecting power-ups.

Bomberman II is great for... introducing multiplayer and Kurobon to the series, I guess. It's a milestone, just lesser known one.

3rd worlder here. I had the first one in a single cart. I played it with my dad a lot. He used to have a lot of fun with it. I never played another Bomberman game. Which one do you recommend? !!! WARNING !!! SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY I don't have time to waste >:(

[Anonymous No.10188406]

>>10188385
Play Super Bomberman 3 or Saturn for classic experience, Tournament if you want jRPG, Max if you want classic + Pokemon collecting. 64 and Online for experimental stuff and Hero if you want to get weird.

Your pic is also nice, but I would recommend to watch anime first

Thanks for the in-depth reply anon. It's more than I was expecting. I didn't know Bomberman was a huge IP.

It's crazy to me how bomberman and hudson went to some viable nintendo competitor to dead.

3rd worlder here, I enjoy ALL Bomberman games like any sane person would. Also
>>10187389
Mega is just a gimped version of '94, get some taste.

[Anonymous No.10188476]

Shitting on third worlders on a retro board is dumb as fuck because a lot of these dudes played retro games way more and way longer than the rest of us out of necessity or sopa de Macao (uma delicia) national pride or whatever.

Unironically theyre more retro pilled than half this board

Honestly it’s mostly luck. Nintendo accidentally positioned themselves perfectly in the US, the only market that really matters if we’re being real.

I watched the same video and it's impressive how varied and consistent the Bomberman franchise is. Most of the games look quite fun and there are only a few ones that actually look boring or annoying. Also, Practically, there's a Bomberman for you no matter what your favorite genre is.
That says a lot about how good Hudson Soft was in its golden age. To be honest, I only know them from Bomberman, Adventure Island, Bonk and Mario Party. I wonder what the rest of their games are like.

[Anonymous No.10188532]

>>10188480
All i know is hudson sucked at localizing. America only got 2 of the 5 Super bomberman games, 64 The Second Attack barely got released. they relied on other companies localizing their games, it's like they didnt try

[Anonymous No.10188552]

>>10188476
That sounds about right. I feel that because of that reason, where I live most people have a bigger nostalgia for those retro games and characters even when they finally buy modern hardware. Not to mention video game prices (and the consoles themselves) are quite expensive, unless you become a PC gamer and suck on Steam's e-cock. Of course you can always run whatever mysterious .exe that's "a false positive" 100% all of the time. People don't give a flying fuck about IT security here. Thanks first world Linux anons for redpilling me years ago.

Bomberman games were cheap and easy to make which is why Hudson put them on every console in the world.

Doesn't the original bomberman have randomized stages so it has more replay value?

Only at enemy placement, maybe?

Also isnt she dead? :(

Nigh-perfect bomberman game desu.
Good gameplay, good spritework, slappin soundtrack, fun single player and challenging cpu's in battle mode.
What would make it even better in your opinion?

[Anonymous No.10192043]

Dyna Blaster for PC chads is cool and all, but the definitive version was

Atomic Bomberman

[Anonymous No.10192367]

I still find funny how Act Zero is almost as primitive as Bakudan-Otoko despite being 23 years apart.
Guess that early console online was really limiting for it or hudson preferred stability over good gameplay

I only got into Bomberman as an adult, didn't play any sort of counterfeit cartridge as a kid or anything like that... and I prefer the OG over its sequel on NES/Famicom, it's simplicity is more fun and charming to me, playing right now on Lemuroid by the way, only Android emulator where I feel the touchscreen controls aren't too difficult to get used to.

Saturn Bomberman, followed by Super Bomberman 5 and Bomberman '94.

[Anonymous No.10197343]

>>10197198
Debatable depending on if you're looking for a solo campaign, partnered campaign, or just a battle/party mode, but most people seem to land on Saturn Bomberman as the one that nailed it at all three (as far as 2D goes).

they probably didn't care to update the code before getting the rom shipped, nothing about the game blatantly implies it's incomplete
