Nintendo gets Bomberman 2

[08.30.99] » The confusingly-titled sequel to Bomberman 64 is headed to the U.S. next year.

   Bomberman 2 didn't make a big splash at Nintendo's recently concluded Space World expo, but nevertheless, a U.S. release in the pipeline. Hudson, the title's developer, stated at the show that Nintendo had secured the North American rights to the game and would be publishing it in the U.S. early in 2000.

   The sequel to Bomberman 64, Bomberman 2 marks a return to the series' multiplayer roots, a welcome change for fans disappointed by the single player-only Bomberman Hero. The game is estimated to be 80% complete.
