translation

Bomberman is a masterpiece among console video games, and has been ongoing since the 1980s. Its popularity has spawned many sequels, not to mention an animated television series.

For this game, though the base of the gameplay is intact, we have boldly reimagined the characters and incorporated a "Sentai hero" element into the mix.

This is a new scope for the iconic franchise. We hope you enjoy the radical new perspective of Bomberman and its world.
