RIP Hudson. We have them to thank not just for Bomberman but stuff like Nectaris/Military Madness, Adventure Island and Gate of Thunder.

Sad to hear, but it was only a matter of time after Konami took them over. A real Jekyll & Hyde company - at their best they were awesome but, especially in the last decade or so, they released a fair few unspeakable turds as well.

I suppose there's only so many times you can release Bomberman and I'm pretty sure I've ignored the most recent ones.

They should have stopped at the ten player version on the Saturn... Surely that was the pinnacle of Bomberman games?
