Bomberman style Blast Zone! Tournament game coming - PC PS4 XOne

Bomb-based action game features a mind-boggling array of multiplayer-options and content never before seen in this genre.

Aiming to deliver the ultimate multiplayer experience for both console and PC gamers, Blast Zone! Tournament is a treasure trove of cross-platform multiplayer riches. At its core, up to 8 players can compete locally on their couch, or they can take the battle online in 32-person multiplayer frenzies. Where the game really shines is its ability to combine and customise the two options, allowing gamers to host 32-player matches with endless combinations of couch-based local teams and online players. Multiplayer will also work PC to PlayStation 4 and PC to Xbox One. Gameplay takes place across seven distinctly themed locales including a tropical jungle, a pirate ship on the high seas, and even the most notorious of venues - a smoke filled 1990s dance club.

Bomberman Dojo and Military Madness Come to Android mobile phone Market

Beware of androids equipped with bombs and military weaponry! Bomberman Dojo and Military Madness, two new mobile games from Hudson are coming soon to Android Market. 

Opened in October 2008, Android Market offers free and priced applications for the open standard mobile device platform developed by the Open Handset Alliance. 

To ignite their entry into the development of priced applications for Android Market, Hudson Entertainment created new mobile versions of their classic Bomberman and Military Madness titles.

“The release of Bomberman Dojo and Military Madness launches our participation into game content development for Android Market,” said Yoko Tsumagari, Vice President of Mobile Games at Hudson Entertainment. “Entering into this new marketplace will maximize new business opportunties and contribute towards our goal of enabling Bomberman and Military Madness to be experienced on all mobile platforms.”

Created specifically for Android, Bomberman Dojo maintains the essential Bomberman gameplay of defeating opponents by planting bombs and takes full advantage of the device’s online functionality to allow the creation and sharing of maps. In this mobile version of the classic action game, players can choose either an on-screen directional pad for tap control or use the touch screen to flick Bomberman in the desired direction.

Miltary Madness is a simple yet authentic combat simulation game made popular on the TurboGrafx-16 and mobile devices. The new Military Madness for Android is dramatically upgraded with intuitive touch screen control, revamped graphics, and a new engaging storyline revolving around humankind’s control over the moon. Despite these improved features, Military Madness still retains the classic turn based strategy gameplay from the previous versions.

Bomberman blasts back! on Nintendo DS

Konami oversees the return of a legend to Nintendo DS
Konami Digital Entertainment GmbH has announced a February 13th release date for its forthcoming DS title Bomberman 2.

Bomberman 2 marks the welcome return of Hudson Soft’s evergreen bomb-toting hero and will sees the popular franchise undergoing a visual make-over and a wealth of new elements to the gameplay.
While the familiar basis of laying bombs to eradicate patrolling foes remains intact, Hudson Soft has expanded it across a more open format, creating a deeper title that maintains the addictive nature the series is famed for.

A more open play area contributes greatly to the action, and the player is now charged with completing set missions within the ever-decreasing time limit. These include simple tasks such as destroying a set number of blocks within a short time frame, through to escaping from a level or blowing up specific energy cores. Multiple bombs and a wealth of power-ups can also be collected, while the series’ huge bosses make a welcome return – testing the player’s accuracy and use of timed detonations.

Bomberman 2 can also be customised, with players able to change the main hero’s appearance and capabilities as new items become available, with over 160,000 possible additions on offer. Likewise, the series’ famed multi-player aspect has been enhanced, with the new game enjoying a four-player Versus mode via either the Wi-Fi connection, while up to eight can compete via the Wireless service.

Bomberman 2 for Nintendo DS will be released on February 13th.

Review: Bomberman Land Touch! 2 on Nintendo DS

Product: Bomberman Land Touch! 2
Developer: Hudson Soft
Publisher: Rising Star
Format: DS
Genre: Action, Puzzle
Players: 1-8
Networking: wireless (adhoc), wireless (network)
Version: Europe

We've grown contemptuous of gunfire. So wrote Stephen Wraysford from the trenches in the novel Birdsong, and such is the condition of anybody who spends his life in a war zone. Once the billionth speck of gunpowder pops, you stop caring. Thankfully for Hudson Soft, the same isn't true of the Bomberman franchise.

Even so, Bomberman Land Touch! 2 feels like the product of a series concerned that it might be outstaying its welcome, determined as it is to remain unobtrusive beneath the stable shelter established by Bomberman Land Touch!

Like Touch!, Touch! 2 is a mini-game collection dressed up as an adventure in which you, as Cheerful White, go to the funfair with a host of other characters from the Bomberman universe. There's Giant Gold, there's Bookworm Green, there's Cool Black. You haven't heard of them? Well, surely you know all about the inimitable Star Bomber.

Him neither?

It makes no odds, as they don't feature too heavily in the action, other than to give you the occasional prompt and, in the case of Star Bomber, to serve as your avatar's role model and mentor. Kiosk-holders and fortune tellers also populate the game, far more usefully, and a transparent limp-hatted figure appears from time to time to goad you about some future calamity.

Bomberman explodes on WiiWare and the Nintendo Wii

Thanks to Hero of Legend for pointing out a common misconception about Hudson’s Wii Bomberman game in the comments. When the title was announced Famitsu pinned it as a WiiWare title, in fact they still do. However, Hudson’s WiiWare page lists four games: Star Soldier R, Joysound, Tetris and Bomberman with a spring release date.

The Bomberman game with Mii support and online play for eight via Nintendo Wi-Fi comes out in June. Glancing through Hudson’s Wii release schedule they have another Bomberman game also called Bomberman scheduled to come out in June. It appears the Bomberman title we previously mentioned is actually a retail game, which makes actually makes more sense. I was wondering how Hudson could pack single player stages and online play in such a tiny amount of space.

So what about Bomberman WiiWare? Yes, there is still a Bomberman WiiWare game and John Lee from Hudson explains, “It's coming. Details are still being finalized. It will be different than Bomberman Live. But it's still the classic Bomberman, if you catch my drift. It's probably one of the few classic games we are bring out on Wii Ware, but digital download is really where Bomberman shines.”

Hudson Entertainment's Beloved Series Returns, Features Single-Player & Multiplayer Bomb Fests for $29.99

Hudson Entertainment, the North American publishing arm of Hudson Soft, today announced Bomberman Land for the Wii and the PSP (PlayStationPortable) system, and Bomberman Land Touch! 2 for the Nintendo DS are now available at retail. Published by Hudson and distributed in North America by Konami Digital Entertainment Inc., all three versions are now available for a suggested retail price of $29.99 each.

Bomberman Land brings an exciting single player campaign element to the Bomberman property while holding true to the multiplayer mode that has made it so popular in the past. The series introduces a multitude of attractions, many of which can be played in multiplayer mode. Both the PSP system and Wii feature 50 attractions. While the Wii version is full of interactive games that use intuitive Wii Remote controls, all of the PSP system's attractions can be played and shared in multiplayer. The Nintendo DS version features more than 40 types of attractions that either use the stylus or the microphone to play. In addition, the Bomberman Land series contains a robust single-player Story Mode, where adventurers explore a fantasy land, take on quests and solve puzzles to restore the peace and tranquility of the beleaguered Bomberman world.

The biggest feature on each platform is the classic multiplayer Bomberman experience that gamers know and love. The PSP system and Nintendo DS allow up to four players to compete globally. While both versions offer shared multiplay, the Nintendo DS title allows eight people to play locally. The Wii version, on the other hand, features six "Battle Modes": Normal, Points, Stars, Crown, All-Out and a Wii exclusive mode designed specifically for the Wii Remote. Each "Battle Mode" includes 20 maps, making it the game to have for the ultimate party.

"As one of the most recognizable video game franchises in the industry, the Bomberman series has always been known for its fun and addictive gameplay, and these three new installments are no exception," said John Greiner President and CEO of Hudson Entertainment. Packed with fun attractions, a compelling single-player mode and a competitive multiplayer experience, these new games will keep players coming back for more."
