Bomberman
Bomberman (WiiWare)
Bomberman Wii is an action game developed and published by Hudson Soft, for the Wii's WiiWare service. The game is set for a Spring 2008 release in Japan.
Hudson has stated that this will be a different game to the one released on Microsoft's Xbox Live Arcade, which can only be good news as it means Wii owners will be getting a dedicated Bomberman experience as opposed to a straight port. The series has always been a firm favourite when it comes to multiplayer madness, so this should be an ideal WiiWare purchase if you're into social gaming.

For online multiplayer i'd consider buying to go along side '93. Otherwise no dice.

I already have '93 on my Wii. Unfortunately, I don't play it that often, so I don't see me getting this soon. I would, however, get Bomberman 64 if it was made available.

I'll get this if it has online multiplayer, otherwise; no point since I own Bomberman '93 anyway.

For me while online would be nice there are a few other points I'd consdier before purchase:
-The graphics. The classic look with sprites would be prefered.
-The multiplayer. 4 player would be a let-down (since bomberman 93 supports 5...) as 8 wouldn't pose a problem to make (4xRemote and 4xGameucbe) and heck 12 (add nunchucks into the mix) or even 16 (erm, one gamecube controller per 2 players) is a possibility.

I can't wait till Bombermans 1 through 3 get released on virtual console. I'll download it right after I download Chrono Trigger.

Seeing as we haven't even seen a screenshot yet it might be a bit premature to say!
I would imagine it to look and play in a similar fashion to the recent XBLA outing of Bomberman.

@Serpent: What? I thought the Xbox version was an utter failure? Did I miss something?

Xbox Live Arcade Version, not the new-age Bomberman (I guess)

Like everyone is saying, if it's exactly like the one on XBLA, and I quote from Merchant Kirby (avatar at the time), "I'll buy at a high price!"

I'll get this game only if this game has online play. If there isn't, then there really isn't a good reason to download this if you have Bomberman'93.

For bomerman im more of a get everyone round a TV and play rather than online (i got the 360 one for free but play the VC one more as its 5 players). I hope this is like Starwolf_UK suggested at least 8 players offline 4 via wii remotes and 4 via the GCN pads.

I'd buy it anyways. I absolutely LOVE Bomberman. It'd be nice if it went online, but sometimes, online gaming sucks when you're not placed with ppl who rank the same as you do.

I can't wait!
And yes guys, it DOES have Wi-Fi. We have no clue when it'll come out. If I had to guess for our region, maybe during the Summer if not Fall?
Anyway, I have to try to set aside points for this.
I just hope there's a single-player aspect to it. Not JUST Wi-Fi, I mean, despite the fact that I also have B93.

KnucklesSonic8,
I think Bomberman WiiWare has mainly only multiplayer. But I think there is a retail version coming out that includes a story mode though.
