Hudson Entertainment's Beloved Series Returns, Features Single-Player & Multiplayer Bomb Fests for $29.99
Hudson Entertainment, the
North American publishing arm of Hudson Soft, today announced
Bomberman Land for the Wii and the PSP (PlayStationPortable) system,
and Bomberman Land Touch! 2 for the Nintendo DS are now available at
retail. Published by Hudson and distributed in North America by Konami
Digital Entertainment Inc., all three versions are now available for a
suggested retail price of $29.99 each.
Bomberman Land brings an exciting single player campaign element to the
Bomberman property while holding true to the multiplayer mode that has
made it so popular in the past. The series introduces a multitude of
attractions, many of which can be played in multiplayer mode. Both
the PSP system and Wii feature 50 attractions. While the Wii version
is full of interactive games that use intuitive Wii Remote controls,
all of the PSP system's attractions can be played and shared in
multiplayer. The Nintendo DS version features more than 40 types of
attractions that either use the stylus or the microphone to play. In
addition, the Bomberman Land series contains a robust single-player
Story Mode, where adventurers explore a fantasy land, take on quests
and solve puzzles to restore the peace and tranquility of the
beleaguered Bomberman world.
The biggest feature on each platform is the classic multiplayer
Bomberman experience that gamers know and love. The PSP system and
Nintendo DS allow up to four players to compete globally. While both
versions offer shared multiplay, the Nintendo DS title allows eight
people to play locally. The Wii version, on the other hand, features
six "Battle Modes": Normal, Points, Stars, Crown, All-Out and a Wii
exclusive mode designed specifically for the Wii Remote. Each "Battle
Mode" includes 20 maps, making it the game to have for the ultimate
party.
"As one of the most recognizable video game franchises in the industry,
the Bomberman series has always been known for its fun and addictive
gameplay, and these three new installments are no exception," said
John Greiner President and CEO of Hudson Entertainment. Packed with
fun attractions, a compelling single-player mode and a competitive
multiplayer experience, these new games will keep players coming back
for more."
