Bomberman blasts back

Great news for fans of Hudson's legendary Bomberman games: German publisher Living Mobile has the rights to distribute mobile titles based on the series, and has two newcomers lined up for Europe. Bomberman Puzzle represents a different slant on the maze-based explode-'em-up series – you have to push each bomb (you're not allowed to pull them) in the correct direction to clear a route through the level. There are 100 stages to get through each requiring more intricate bomb moving skills. Then there's Super Bomberman, an updated version of the classic Bomberman complete with nice new slightly isometric visuals and a range of power-ups (including remote control and bomb boosts). Okay so this isn't a direct conversion of the SNES classic, but it's the closest we have on mobile, and it looks very similar to the 16bit Super Bomberman titles. Puzzle is out now on select networks and Java handsets, Super Bomberman is out next month.
