Bomberman Generation (Battle Mode), GameCube

Here’s a separate set of grabs of Bomberman Generation Battle Mode for the GameCube.

And it also looks great, too. So enjoy these bonus screenshots!

Bomberman 64: The Second Attack!, Nintendo 64

Bomberman 64: The Second Attack! is actually the second Bomberman sequel on the Nintendo 64, so could have been called “The Third Attack!“, but it is a direct sequel to Bomberman 64, thus the name. It was developed by Hudson Soft and published by Hudson themselves in Japan in 1999, and by Vatical Entertainment in North America in 2000, and it is another fully-3D Bomberman game.
