Does being in Smash really change the image of a franchise/character to the public? Bomberman used to be loved, but now he's seen as a failed/loser franchise because he got BTFO as an Assist Trophy.

R1 sold millions since it came out before smash, but R2 flopped since Smashfags only wants games with playable characters. Can't even get games on NSO or a collection.

That guy is clearly a retard. Or if nothing else, not a fan of Bomberman.
With R1 people were kind of excited at the prospects of the return of Bomberman, especially since Konami were kind of paying lip service to the idea of them getting back into vidya development.
But R2 was absolutely not what people who bought R1 wanted, and if anything, Konami making R2 at all instead of working with R1 kind of made R1 worth less and even ignoring that point, R2 still wasn't what fans wanted.

Classic Bomberman is great fun. But Bomberman fell off when they stopped making adventure games and like, larger broader games with Bomberman.
The classic Bomberman parts still used to be a game in all of these games. But now the classic part is like all we're getting and it kind of feels like we're missing a broader game.
And then there is also the little detail of how numerous fangames had already by far improved upon the classic formula, so if you were truly seeking the classic gameplay for the classic gameplay itself, as opposed to a cool supplement to a broader adventure game, then R1 or R2 are not where you'd be looking.


It has fuckall to do with Smash. Why would you ever even think that?

R1 only sold because it was a launch title.

Bombermanfags are delusional and think he’s an A-list vidya character along the likes of Mario, Sonic, Mega Man and Pacman. They rightfully deserve to get ridiculed over their obsession over a C-list character who got BTFO by superior franchises in his peak. Even /v/ made fun of him in 2018.

Bomberman is a MAN's franchise now. Fuck that kiddie shit it used to be.

I'm 30 years old and I have never seen genuine mascot love for bomberman. At best someone loves one of the bomberman games. I wouldn't be surprised if literally every single Pokemon had more genuine fans than Bomberman.

>Shoji Mizuone, longtime Bomberman artist and character designer dies
>Bomberman gets relegated to an assist trophy in Smash, making many realize he's not as iconic as they thought he was
>R2 being a huge flop, despite being THE 40th anniversary title
>no games available on NSO, meaning that new fans and zoomers can't play the good games and have no idea about Bomberman's history
All of these made Bomberman a lolcow in recent years

Even the few Bomberman fans know he sucks. Mega fans are more optimistic

>>729511365
Bomberman is inherently a multiplayer game so you need a healthy community. Mega Man are single player action games. It doesn't matter if a game releases and immediately dies with Mega Man.

Hudson lacked a western publisher, they had to rely on other companies to publish Bomberman games outside Japan.

ALERT

THE USER THE OP IS QUOTING ROUTINELY USES VIDEO GAMES AS A POLITICAL SOAPBOX TO PUSH RACISM AGAINST ANYONE WHO ISN'T BLACK

THEIR OPINIONS ON VIDEO GAMES ARE INSINCERE AND MALICIOUS IN NATURE

THIS CONCLUDES YOUR FRIENDLY WARNING

If being regulated to an AT or worse, a Mii costume, mattered then Genofags would have ropes ages ago.

R2 doesn’t have a Wikipedia page.

Just play Power Bomberman.

guess i'll explain.
bomberman was fucking massive.
it appealed to arcade style boomers and had full adventure games like bomberman hero/64, and generation.
bomberman was on EVERY device and had a shitload of spinoffs.
however, a couple years after generation hudson was bought by konami, killing the series entirely.
konami didn't give a FUCK about their ips once they hit pachinko money.
every single konami ip turned into pachinko cashgrab.
this is why bomberman was retooled into a coomer arcade game and stays in arcades.

if anything bomberman ip came out lucky compared to other konami ips. the bombergirl team at least cares about the shit they're doing.

Banjo is the biggest lolcow that actually got into Smash.
>turned the n64 from a system with promise into a complete and utter failure
>nobody bought the gamecube because of the banjo-kazooie tech demo they showed off
>nuts and bolts was the beginning of microsoft pandering to casuals, starting the xbox's downfall
>the xbox version of sonic and sega all-stars racing was the worst selling version simply due to banjo being in it
>smash ultimate started being seen as a cashgrab after it launched around the same time banjo was revealed, that's not a coincidence
And yet because he actually got in (and isn't from Fire Emblem), faggots decided he's exempt from criticism.

such a unique gem of a game with the combat and puzzles so well intertwined with each other
