I played Wario Blast TONS as a kid. Yeah, it's a good one. The funny thing is that I never beat the game until just a few years ago. The final boss is pretty damn tricky.

Why isn't that on VC? It was the crazy crossover trend before they became cool.

It's a regional crossover though; no wario in the original

Oh yeah Bomberman. Since practically every console, home computer and toaster has a version of it, I wonder how massive would be an article on it.
And Act Zero doesn't exist.

I think Bomberman Ultra on the PS3 is pretty cool, since you can do 7 player local matches (plus a CPU for 8 total).

Pocket Bomberman (GBC) is a decent game you could get for cheap. It's not the best game out there by any stretch, but it's worth more than the 5 dollars you'd spend on it. (It's also the only single player Bomberman I had fun with, though I haven't tried 'em all.)
The WiiWare Bomberman is fun, but make sure you have a few local players to join you, as I'm pretty sure you can't play online anymore. Bomberman is really only fun with friends on a couch anyway.

Ah, I remember this one now. There was a demo of it on the I.Q. Mania UMD (presumably also on the XI disc; the three seem connected). It's still very much Bomberman, with the camera angle lowered a little...

I too played Wario Blast to death. Truth be told, I think one can easily do better. Bomberman GB, for instance, seems to have most of the same features but is considerably more refined.

My favourite one it is the Neo Bomberman arcade.
The battle mode was specialy fun because you had bomberman variants with different powers like atomic bomberman being able to spend power ups to survive a blast or the cat that would ram you and make you lose power ups.

I knew an arcade once that had Bomber Man World (not to be confused with Bomberman World) and I thought it looked kind of neat, but I never really delved into it.

No coincidence. The Western Bomberman GB is the direct sequel to Wario Blast. In Japan the latter is called Bomberman GB and "our" Bomberman GB really is Bomberman GB 2, because: Why not? 90s video game titles need more inconsistency than just the well-established FF and Seiken Densetsu kind of stuff. It's also not like Bomberman stopped confusing us after that. Yeah, I'm looking at you, Bomberman 64 and the other Bomberman 64.

I gotta laugh when Western gamers sometimes make up names for the Japanese Bomberman 64 like "Bomberman Arcade" just because they're too hung up on Baku Bomberman being called "Bomberman 64" in the West. Honestly, I kinda wish the localization had gone with a different title. Not only does it get confusing with the later Japanese release of the same name, but usually when a title was "series name + 64" it implied something that was pretty faithful to the past games but on N64, usually in 3D. The Baku Bomberman games were more like a spin-off series, playing significantly differently from classic Bomberman, and I think that would've been better expressed with a different kind of title, instead of disappointing Westerners who thought it'd be more like the older games. So in that way, I think it's very appropriate that the Japanese Bomberman to receive the "Bomberman 64" title was the one most similar to the Bomberman games on older platforms.

Yeah, naming the Baku Bomberman games just Bomberman 64 in the West feels just lazy and not very well thought-through.
