You know what never gets old to me? The classic Bomberman formula.
On a weekend quest to find something current to tide me over until Tuesday, I said "screw this" after five minutes and proceeded to play Super Bomberman 2 until I lost in the final area. Then I went on a massive winning streak against the lowest level COMs -- I was the champion of the world.
For the most part, this series has always been timeless. As Nick mentioned earlier, the new DSiWare game Bomberman Blitz came out today. With 8-person multiplayer, a non-crappy-3D art style, and a price tag of 500 points, I'm inclined to think it's possibly worth buying.
Unless you're more into clocks, calendars, or calculators, in which case, get out.

"bitches love sandcastles" ... yet, there is no sandcastle in that photo. We may never truly understand his ways.

"Hey look, I'm bouncing on a spring! Whee! Whee! Wh--oh crap I just landed in water and died."
Anyone else play Custom Battler Bomberman (released in Europe as Bomberman 2)? Not a bad game, and you can customize Bomberman in specific ways (permanent boost to fire length/damage/damage taken/number of bombs at once/etc.) as per your equipment. One of those games that just went unnoticed I guess. =P
