64 and especially Hero if you want fun singleplayer. 64 if you want the best (4 player max) multiplayer.

[Anonymous No.5630963]

Is it bad to not like Second Attack

[Anonymous No.5630964]

Also Bomberman Quest and Tournament are fun Zelda-esque RPGs. I have Bomberman Generations sealed (for now), and that's supposedly pretty good, too.

Just from what I know, they cut out some of the story and there's no 5-player.

Level names are definitely still in runes. I thought there might be some other dialogue later in the game, but I haven't played very far, anticipating a patch all this time.

yes, pretty bad palette in some stages and no 5-player mode

it's good, just not the best version

[Anonymous No.5631025]

Play them all and decide which ones you like best. Don't let other people think for you.

My top 5 however is Saturn, Super Bomberman 4, Bomberman 64, Bomberman '94 and Neo Bomberman.

[Anonymous No.5631058]

64 still the best

It's dope. Truly satisfying single player mode. Music is soothing and boss battle are unparalleled. Online on the other hand was pretty sick as well. At least until Sega server died.

No. I thought it was a massive downgrade from the first one. Also that Lilith character was cringe.

Since I’m not a jap it’s the one I grew up with, that being the case I much prefer the new music in Mega vs what was replaced from ‘94. Also I actually like the Mega color palette way more, but again that’s my bias. It’s one of my most beloved childhood games so either way I’m glad there are two versions of it, and that one has that uniquely-Genesis vibe. If you like 94/Mega, Super 3 is pretty similar.

[Anonymous No.5632169]

>>5630992
It's a good platforming game with Bomberman elements, but it's neither a good Bomberman game nor a Bomberman game in itself.

[Anonymous No.5632225]

Most all of them. Although I didn't care for the new art direction the more recent Bomberman games have adopted. The series goes full blown /a/ around sixth generation and has unpalatable levels of kawaii-ness at that point.

The games I currently own include
>Bomber Boy / Atomic Punk
>Bomberman GB1 - GB 3 (I think one of these is called Wario Blast overseas)
>Pocket Bomberman
>Bomberman Story / Quest
>Bomberman Max
>Super Bomberman
>Super Bomberman II
>Bomberman PCE
>Bomberman '93
>Bomberman '94 / Mega Bomberman
>Bomberman World
>Bomberman: Party Edition
>Bomberman Story 2 / Tournament
>Bomberman Max 2

For multiplayer, I would recommend Party Edition for PS1. Tons of options, stages, power-ups and Bomber characters to choose from. The character selection doesn't include anything other than Bomberman variations, but it's still a pretty diverse cast with their own respective special powers. Party Edition is also a lot easier to obtain than Saturn Bomberman. Saturn-anything is an expensive reseller market.

For the best story mode or a solo experience, I recommend the GB titles, as these were largely built on that principle.

They're action-adventure games, not RPGs. Different genres. It's not like Bomberman levels up or anything.

I think the different method of explosions radically shifts how it works, which at least mixes it up a little compared to most other battle modes. So once someone's hyped up on fire power and/or cherry bombs, there's less artful dodging and more pure carnage.

Dyna Blaster / Bomberman for DOS.

SNES Bomberman 1 and 2 are the best.
3 and 4 are okay, personally I don't like them as much.

3 and 4 add yoshis you can ride and have a different graphic style and gameplay changes.

5 is supposed to be good and is the only one that has save game support as opposed to password save.

[Anonymous No.5636146]

>>5636138
Personally I thought the first two on SNES were trash. With 3 is when they finally started to get good, with 4 being the best.

Speaking of N64 Bombermans, What's the verdict on pic related?

[Anonymous No.5636204]

>>5636190
It's a thing. The minigames are a distraction at best and certainly no Mario Party (in fact there's like only one multiplayer minigame off the top of my head, and it's a puzzle clone), the main single play doesn't have much variety at all, and the battle mode is exactly what you expect a standard Bomberman battle mode to be.

If you want to be an import collector then sure, but there's way better games.

I did. It's surprisingly good, honestly. Even if you're not a Bomberman fan I would recommend it. Starts out pretty light but gets some deep moments later on and kinda dark. Oh, and if you're gonna watch Jetters, play the GBA Bomberman Jetters game after it. It shows Mighty's past.

It's ok. There's really not much to say about it. From the PS1/Sat/N64 era, it's probably the worst though.

Kinda unrelated, but what do you guys use to emulate the N64 Bomberman games? I've been using Porject 64 for years but I heard RetroArch actually emulates better, is it true?

[Anonymous No.5638154]

>>5630934
They're more or less all the same besides the 3D games like 64 and Hero, which aren't really Bomberman games at all. You should just grab the new one on Steam to help bring the online player count up.

[Anonymous No.5638162]

Super Bomberman R is actually pretty damn good. Single player is kinda meh but the online multiplayer is fucking rad. Too bad is nearly dead on all platforms. PS4 version at least has some small surges on weekends.

No problem, my man. Glad you're enjoying it.

>I hear the games aren't so good though
The one on the Gamecube is widely regarded as bad but there's a japanese-only Zelda-esque (runs on the Bomberman Story/Tournament engine) prequel to the anime that it's damn good. There's also a collection of mini games + multiplayer Jetters game also on the GBA but it's nothing special though.

What an atrocity that game was. It didn't even have local. How do you release a Bomberman game without local? Not to mention the obvious bizarre change in art direction.

[Anonymous No.5642153]

>It didn't even have local
Wait, seriously? What the hell? But did it had a single player campaign or onine mode at least?

[Anonymous No.5642337]

>>5642153
It had Singleplayer, 100 levels of competitive fighting other Bombermen/women for a reference to Lode Runner, a color-shifted copypaste of the title screen, and otherwise nothing else because it was a remake of the first game without actually making custom enemies or anything. Online, which was to be as expected but no one plays it. And "First Person Bomber", which is really just a third-person fully rotatable camera you can zoom in or out as you play through the exact same content as singleplayer.

Oh and everyone has health bars, only one life with no continues, and there were stupid power-ups like being able to walk through all bombable blocks.

[Anonymous No.5642417]

>>5642337
Ignorig the dreadful aesthethic, it doesn't sound so bad. No local is just completely retarded though.
>and there were stupid power-ups like being able to walk through all bombable blocks.
But being able to walk through soft block is around since the SNES days.

64 is pure and has wonderful father/son tier multiplayer
Hero is silly and you can jump and there's an atmosphere of completionism
The first Gamecube one is cel shaded and has little pokemon things and is an adventure
There are three for thr gameboy - one more traditional, one where you can jump, and an RPG

That's all I got

Super Bomberman 3 has a great single-player mode, probably the best in the main series.

[Anonymous No.5644953]

>>5643807
Saturn and Second Attack are the best. 3 is a close second though. Tournament, Jetters and Quest are single player campaign focused games but since they're not traditional Bomberman games it's not the same.

[Anonymous No.5645578]

I prefer these titles because they present classic Bomberman game-play

Also, I've never played multi-player, though '93 accommodates 5 players.

They are a fun addition to the Battle Mode, and that's what Bomberman is more known for.

I kinda liked it. Multiplayer is your usual bomberman multiplayer with some a good amount of customization. Single player is what people are complaining about. It is a somewhat janky 3D action-adventure game completely unlike the rest of the games in this thread. I was still able to have fun playing through it, though, and the anime cut scenes are nice.
