Bomberman (Also known as Bomberman DS) is a game for the Nintendo DS handheld system. In this game you take the role of the White Bomber. Bomberman DS is an 'enhanced remake' of the original Bomberman game for NES.
Release
In Japan it was released back in the DS' early life, May 19th 2005, whilst the localised versions in the USA and Europe were released later in 2005, June 21st and July 8th respectively. It was published by Hudson in Japan, and Ubisoft published it in the localised versions.
Gameplay
This game is very similar to the original Bomberman for NES. The touch screen feature for the Nintendo DS is only used in multiplayer mode, where if you are blown up you fire missiles at the other players still alive. The characters in the game are more chibi in other bomberman games. In other Nintendo DS games there are also modes where you can play the same multiplayer as in this game but the characters are less chibi.
Multiplayer
This game can wirelessly connect to other Nintedo DS systems to play multiplayer. You can either play multi-card play or single card play. There is no difference in gameplay depending on single card or multi card play. With wireless connection you can play with up to 8 players at once. When killed in multiplayer, you are sent to the bottom screen to fire missiles at the other players still alive.
Trivia
Bomberman's "Super Deformed" look
Around the time of this game's release, Bomberman had changed his look since the earlier GameCube games, Generation and Jetters. He has had this look in quite a few games now, and fans call it his "Super Deformed" look. This look is present in Bomberman Kart, Bomberman Hardball, and some of the earlier Bomberman Land games. Many fans disliked this look, and hence this was the last Bomberman game to feature it, returning to his original more popular look for Bomberman Land Touch!.
