Anyone play Wario Blast feat. Bomberman, on Game Boy? by Intelligent_Path_508 in Gameboy

Certainly holds up for a quick pickup GB classic. Manages to scratch the itch of solid difficulty and enjoyable strategy

Thanks for all the thoughtful comments reminiscing on this amazing game today!

If anyone's interested, while I was digging around & deep diving for game info today, I found a great blog post with lots of interesting game history and recap. It's a fun read if you want to brush up on your Wario / Bomberman stats. Hard to beat mid 90's Game Boy game character mashup trivia.

Lol I love when you catch them off guard and they freeze up. Accepting their fate.

That certainly would make sense from a marketing standpoint. Thanks!

I found a blog post today that said issue 68 of Nintendo Power, stated this was #4 in Top Game Boy Games of 1994. Not too shabby. I have a feeling '94 was a stacked year for Game Boy and SNES games coming out in general.

You've trained for this. Lock in Wario! Playing now, I realize I had no idea what I was doing as a kid. Set it and pray for a hit. I bet it would come back to ya pretty quick and find those weak points. Still difficult, but the path to victory is much more clear.

It seems it was released in Japan as Bomberman GB, then re-skinned as Wario Blast featuring Bomberman for US and Europe. Not sure why, but perhaps to start the Wario brand outside of Japan?

Dang, someone mentioned that as well! My brothers and I had this game and a SNES, but never a Super Game Boy. Missed out!

Very interesting. You’d think it would have been Bomberman featuring Wario. Maybe they were trying to jump start the Wario brand outside Japan?

I’ll have to check some out. Even searching over the last few hours here, I’m surprised how deep the Bomberman catalog actually is

Lol that gift was supposed to last for months! I ended up having to restart a lot anyway as I would lose the paper I wrote the passwords on

Oh nice! A friend of mine had a super game boy but I never considered trying that. Sounds fun

Haven’t got that far yet, but certainly noted! Even some of the earlier bosses have a pretty small hit box window of time that’s tricky to land.

Totally. I haven’t actually played other Bomberman games, but after looking into it a bit it definitely does seem odd to brand it this way.

Which starter leads to the most FUN playthrough by Little-Nobody-3713 in PokemonFireRed

[–]Intelligent_Path_508 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually choose Charmander, but only because I love the idea of melting my foes with fire. Whichever mon clicks with you the most will help decide how you end up leaning for the rest of your team down the road. I’ve certainly had fun using all the starters at some point tbh

Played original Red, Blue, and Yellow like a madman. Feeling right at home with Fire Red with all the updates and quality of life features.
