Released in Japan only in 2001, Bomberman 64 (part deux; the second; version two) is very different to the 1997 N64 game of the same name.

The game was developed by Racjin for Hudson Soft. An English language fan translation is available for this title, which will please English-speaking Bomberman fans.
