Hudson Entertainment, the North

Bomberman Blast, an all-new Bomberman for digital download for WiiWare on the
Wii. Retaining the classic features Bomberman fans have come to love such as
online multiplayer battles and numerous arenas, Bomberman Blast also
incorporates new gameplay elements, including the use of Mii support and
8-person online multiplayer – the first time for Bomberman on Wii!
"The Bomberman franchise is one of
Hudson Entertainment’s most popular," said Sabine Duvall, Vice President of
Product Development at Hudson Entertainment. "We’re driven by the support of the
fans and strive to provide unique new gameplay features with each new Bomberman
title to please the longtime fans, as well as make the game accessible to

Fans of the popular series will be
able to compete either solo or as part of a team against the best Bomberman
players worldwide, as Bomberman Blast delivers 8-player multiplayer battles
online. By using their Miis, gamers will have the opportunity to definitively
prove who has the best Mii by sending them into a Bomberman Blast arena, then
blowing away the competition! Now who has the best Mii?
Bomberman Blast is the perfect party
game, allowing players from around the world to join in on the fun. Up to four
players on the same Wii can hop online. Even more, an online leaderboard shows
just how good you are! Bomberman Blast is exactly what players would expect from
a Bomberman game, with more ammunition, more online battles, and now, the
support of Miis!
With the release of Bomberman Blast
on WiiWare, Hudson Entertainment will offer several online tournaments,
