Bomberman - New Import, In Stock

Every year or thereabouts, Hudson can be relied upon to wheel Bomberman out for another bombing foray. This year's model ships on September 25 and it's a Wii exclusive. The two game modes are:

» Story Mode - Bomberman finds himself in an interplanetary drama where his help is needed to restore peace to the galaxy. Just before he receives the SOS message, he's dozing inside the cockpit of his spacecraft. Bomberman traipses around lush isometric mazes and bombs enemies to pieces. All in the name of peace.

» Battle Mode - Up to 8 participants may engage in classic Bomberman action where an expansive maze provides the backdrop for the bombing tactics. Players may choose a Bomberman as their onscreen action hero or select a Mii to do their dirty work. Each maze measures 17 x 11 and different themes such as the Bowling Stage and the Pitstop Stage make for interesting sights to see.

For players who are a little rusty after years of Bomberman inaction, a Tutorial Mode teaches the basics of bombing. The Wii Remote is used to control Bomberman and is held horizontally. No Nunchuk is needed.
