American publishing arm for HUDSON SOFT, today announced that they are releasing 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 - thefirst time for Bomberman on Wii!

About Bomberman

Originally launched in the US in 1987, the game captured gamers' hearts

with its simple yet challenging gameplay. With over 60 iterations on

nearly all major consoles since then, and over 10 million units sold,

winning accolades as the best multiplayer game of all time, this

classic game has stood the test of time. Along the way, it also

pioneered the "party game" genre, encouraging groups of 4 or more

friends to duke it out in one room, and was the first series to

contribute to Hudson's reputation as the number one party game

company.
