Bomberman (specifically, Super Bomberman 2) has always been my go-to game for competitive multiplayer gaming with friends. That was until Bomberman LIVE came out, and I could finally be a complete ass to everyone online to the point where no one on my friends list wanted to play with me (This is the part where you leave a comment that says "cool story, bro").
The PlayStation Network version, dubbed Bomberman Ultra, will be released after the madness that is E3. Look out for it on June 11, because it will undoubtedly be the quintessential version. Besides including all of the DLC that us Xbox 360 players had to pay for, it's got support for up to seven players offline (and eight online). Hot!
To celebrate the announcement, Hudson's pumped out a super cheesy new trailer. You know the drill; hit the jump to watch it.
Jordan Devore is Destructoid's PC gaming manager and founding ginger editor. He is said to be easy to love but difficult to know. When Samit inquired about his curious bio photo Jordan simply replied: "bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

Maybe I should check out the new one, Bomberman '93 (Wii VC) was always fun when people came over. With net play I could play it anytime I wanted, but on the flip side I wouldn't win 90% of the matches anymore.
I am SO nabbing this on day 1! One of my fondest memories of college is playing Saturn Bomberman (Sega Saturn) with friends almost every weekend--that was a damn fun multiplayer game!
June 11 can't arrive soon enough! I HUNGERZ for this game!

Finally. Damn.
I've been waiting way too long for this game.
Is the infallible Mr. Destructoid going to be in this version?
