The Sega Saturn had some truly excellent games released for it over the scant few years it lived, but few managed to put the system in so positive a light as Saturn Bomberman did. The amount of content packed in, the production values, the general level of polish - all of its impressive - and yet, those things all still take a back seat to sheer fun that this one provides.
The fundamentals will of course be entirely familiar to anyone that's played a traditional Bomberman title, and that is its appeal. Explosions, strange blobby things with teeth, and a frenetic multiplayer mode - all the classic series' staples are here and accounted for.
They have seen some major improvements since the Super Bomberman series, though. It supports two multitaps and up to ten controllers (!) and the Saturn's high resolution mode for an insane party-style multiplayer experience which hasn't been matched in the twenty-five years since it was released.
Don't have anyone at home to play with? Well, if AI bots aren't your thing, it might please you to know that Saturn Bomberman was the first game in the series to support online modem play, and because it didn't rely on centralized servers, it can still be played this way today!
And if you don't like multiplayer games, worry not! The single player story and master modes will keep you busy for quite a while. The story mode is especially great - it feels like you're going through the animated pages of a story book.
The overhauled presentation is top shelf stuff. The graphics are phenomenal, especially given that they come from an era dominated by crude, early 3D graphics. I remember some reviewers complaining that the 2D sprites lacked the panache that they would've seen from a 3D version. I personally never understood that complaint - to me, this has always looked so much better than any of the 3D games that came out in the late 90s.
There is so much life packed into each environment and animation that you're not likely to ever encounter a static screen in game, and when it feels like showing off, the huge bosses dominate the screen with their cool scaling and rotation effects. The monsters have tons of little facial expressions, and Bomberman himself still makes me laugh when he fistpumps in celebration. The music is up there with the graphics, rivaling the quality of even the most classic of Bombermansoundtracks, and the voice acting and the animated FMV cutscenes round out the rest of the package nicely.
And all of this is done at 60fps without any slowdown whatsoever.
All in all, if you like Bomberman, you must play this. It might not have reinvented the wheel, but in terms of both playability and artistry, this still stands as the absolute pinnacle of 2D Bomberman games. At least, it does in my mind.

Saturn Bomberman is as close to perfect as a Bomberman game is ever likely to get.
I like bomberman
Pretty much the ultimate bomberman indeed.
@@luansilvail same
It is. It's perfect. I literally cannot think of anything wrong with this game
You know what I think? Bomberman’s 40th anniversary is next year. Even though we have Super Bomberman R 2 coming next year, I think Konami should really prepare to release a classic game collection for Bomberman and include Saturn Bomberman with other of his games. That way it’ll help bring new people into Bomberman
I've always thought this game looked incredible. Sadly I never owned a Saturn, nor did anyone I know so I never got a chance to play it. Super Bomberman with the multi-tap was multiplayer heaven. I also really liked Bomberman 2 on NES.
You can enjoy this title now through emulation
It's just not the same as back in the day with all your buddies in the same room going bananas.
Needs to be remastered ASAP!
My childhood right there
I love the sprites of this game. They look so good.
This game feels way ahead of its time. The graphics look outstanding for a sprite-based game, with impressive color and animations and beautiful scenery, and 10 player local multiplayer. This game even had online before (better) online existed with the Dreamcast! I haven't played this game, but one day I WILL!
Ahead? We already had exactly this in 1993....
Honestly, the opening cut scene looks like something I would see in a anime or some shit.
I saw that opening cutscene and it reminded me so much of Wario Land Shake it having a fully animated cutscenes, and then I hear Mujoh speak english and not just grumble with subtitles and was like "Oh they FULLY cooked with this one!" Plus seeing how animated Professor Ein was. Brings a tear to my eyes what effort can do to make a game feel "perfect" as everyone else is saying!
21:38 my favorite bomberman moment ever , when you enter in the samurai world , the rain comes and the music begin
not gonna lie that boss made me think of wild guns all over again great playthrough
Thanks! :)
the PERFECT Bomberman
The perfect clone of the GOAT Bomberman you mean,
I'm no expert on Bomberman, but I always liked the mechanic of riding on cute little animals across the battlefield to aid in blowing your opponents to smithereens. It sure looks like a fun time!
Yeah, it's pretty much a shield
Bought the Japanese version about a year or 2 ago, much more sensibly priced, and pretty much just as good.
Multiplayer from Saturn Bomberman is the best far away from the other of the franchise. We are still playing in multiplayer with friends, on the real Sega Saturn, in 2023!
Me too pal!
Best Bomberman game of all time! I used to play it with a few friends back in the day (late 90's, early 2000's) 'til 4 or 5 a.m. All the Saturn games must get re-mastered and re-issued at some point.
love the soundtrack!!
This is the best video game ever produced and it's not even remotely close to anything else. Nevermind my personal childhood nostalgia, this game really is just perfect. I love your video description by the way - it tells the whole story perfectly.
How come this looks better than the Bomberman in Ps1? This game is and looks amazing!
Because the Saturn always was a 2D graphics beast
If only Konami could release a classic game collection for Bomberman’s 40th anniversary next year, which should include Saturn Bomberman
It's Hudson Soft, not Konami.
@@dianaa-b6516 I know, Hudson soft is absorbed by Konami. Konami owns all of the franchises from Hudson Soft now. That includes the Bomberman Franchise which is under Konami’s rights
@@davidmorrison2135 oh fair enough, didn't know that. It's a shame. Well technically Microsoft own it then to be released.
Gosh the soundtrack alone would be worth the $50. Hudson COOKED and the food's STILL fresh out the oven good.
The last good Bomberman game right after the Super series. Unless anyone counts Bomberman 2 DS
I only ever grew up with 64 and Hero.
I noticed that the opening music for Wild West World sounds just like the opening for the movie The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly. Very cool indeed.
Perfection...
It's perfect. I cannot think of literally anything wrong with this game. There's massive childhood nostalgia, but even objectively, I got nothing. This game excels in everything it sets out to do. Alone, co-op, challenge mode, multiplayer vs, it's all here and it's all perfectly done. This is Hudson at the top of the industry.
This should've been a TV show as well.
dang didn't realize I wasonly half way done with the game, I couldn't get passed Crator at all.
Best Games 1997
Good thing this is now a anime show
I also noticed something the idle animation which activated if you don't move for several seconds he shows idle animation at the end of final world final boss fight and in master mode
Thanks!!!! Chilhood memory came back!!!!!! Love it so much!!!!!!!
2:24:47 Bomberman 1 nes Battle Mode music (bonus levels)
Super Bomber Man R2 coming in sept 2023!! See you guys later!!!! Battle!!!!
Back in the days when bomberman was weird as hell
and their music absolutely Slapped! They were not afraid to incorporate some good house and hip hop to their OST.
Cool video.
Love the coop. Unfortunately I don't feel they put much effort in the music like they did for the PC-Engine games (old gamer here). You should check them out, specially Bomberman 94.
¿This scene from Bomberman for Saturn reminds us of a certain familiar character we grew up with as kids 🧐?. 1:51:11
Black Bomberman is NOT playing in the opening
What a vibe
Chorei igual criança vendo essa abertura
When are you gonna play the og bomerman 2 (custom battler bomberman in JP) for the ds?
This is basically just Bomberman 94 with different styling. The exact same game/graphics/gameplay. So in a way it says: we needed Saturn power to make something that equals the awesomeness of the original PC Engine GOAT Bomberman '94. The MD/SNES titles were nice tries at best. Two things puzzle me: why did we need mutant unicorn hamsters to replace the skippies, and what were they trying to proof with 10 player battle mode? It's a useless gimmick, nobody has 9 friends to play with, nor 10 controllers, nor a 10m couch and the graphics turn ugly in 10p mode. The sound quality may be better (hey, the Saturn cheats with a CD PCM track), yet the tracks lack earworm quality of BM '94.
I may be wrong, but I think you already made a playthrough of this game a few years ago.
i believe it's to replace an old video with crappy quality
Yup, and that one only showed the story mode
@@NintendoComplete I saw that video myself and I don't believe it had any crappy quality AT ALL.
BTW are you going to play Metroid II EJRTQ Colorization hack sometime?
@@simonedavidalemanno6459 don't believe me? Check quality options in the original video
37:12 Ouch.
That had to hurt, didn’t it?
Seeing that to accidentally fire the Remote Control power-up...
Is Konami still making Bomberman, or not anymore?
Before Hudson Soft was purchased and dissolved into them, the team that worked on the Mario Party series was fortunate enough to leave the company and set up their own studio, and kept themselves in good hands with Nintendo including owning the rights to have the IP copyright be changed.
Bueno están desarrollando super bomberman r 2 que sale este septiembre, así que si
I'm still forbidden from playing Bomberman by a court order. (It's not what you're thinking)
What
Excuse me?
How many units did this game sell?
Kay ninu pata!
the 32-bit era along with the 64-bit era was the truly last gaming era. 2001 was the beginning of the end for video gaming. after wipeout fusion, mk deadly alliance & deception and kof 2003 and kof 11, ideas dried up and we started to see bland, watered down remakes and boring reboots of classic games from the 8-bit and 16-bit platforms, but it was after hudson soft was absorbed into konami after 2007 and midway folded at the end of 2008 along with acclaim earlier in that decade. hudson should have done at least a proper fifth bloody roar game before they were dissolved into konami.
47:14 What's that power-up?
That one lets you charge the bomb up by holding the button and then fling it. I usually don't use it since I seem to always kill myself with it.
"BEAN BOMB"
by the way easter is coming
