Preview: Bomberman Ultra photo

Bomberman holds a special place in the heart of Dtoiders. Not only has the Bomberman franchise always been a fun game to play, but the XBLA, and soon to be PSN version of the game, feature Mr. Destructoid as a playable character. Pretty impressive for a blog mascot to get into a game, eh?

I played the PSN version last week at Hudson's offices and it's exactly the same as the XBLA version with a couple of additions. The PSN release will have all of the DLC content that was released for the XBLA version with the overall price expected to be cheaper on the PSN when it's released. The other nice addition is the support for seven-player local matches. Yes, you and six of your friends can play on one console together.

Other than that, the game has eight-player online multiplayer, 14 arenas, 50 costumes with 150,000 possible combinations, leaderboards, 16 power-ups, and fully customizable matches.

As far as gameplay goes, well, it's Bomberman! You run around stages and try to be the last man standing as you blow everything and everyone up. You don't belong on the Internet if you didn't know this already.

Bomberman Ultra should be out sometime in January for the PSN.

Awesome!! I was hoping that it would support 7 players!! Or can the PS3 now support 8 controllers?? Actually why was it 7 in the first place or was I just imagining??

The PS3 has Bluetooth, and can only support up to 7 Bluetooth connected controllers at the same time. It remains to be seen if wired USB controllers can be used, so I'd hold off nitpicking the language of what he wrote until the game comes out.

Still, would anyone here still wanna buy/play this if we beat the 360 version to death months ago?

Bomberman Live has hardly the best in the franchise. The levels were uninspired and the characters didn't have that crazy japanese feel. Shame they didn't port the Wii digital download Bomberman.

Shit, they seriously need to bring back the 3d playstyle from bomberman 64. The games are so much more intense than classic bomberman. My friends and I still play it every day :(

question: does bomberman act zero still exist, or are they doing that whole... "What bomberman act zero?" thing?
