As always, White Bomberman sets out to save the day, though this time around there’s no option for Black Bomberman to join the fray, one of several elements of Super Bomberman that is neglected here. Newcomer villain Bagura invades Planet Bomber with an army in tow and destroys the Spirit Pictures, causing the planet to split into five pieces. The game takes place on Planet Bomber, the soon-to-be consistent home for the Bombers, and tells the story of its five spirits, which power the planet through magic generated from the five “Spirit Pictures”.
As the final main series entry on the PC Engine, Bomberman’94 specifically picks up where Bomberman ’93 left off and refines it to a striking degree, making for a worthy sendoff for the platform.īomberman ’94 changes the Bomberman canon once again, but the story elements established in this game set a proper foundation for several future entries. To better accommodate overseas markets, the game was ported to the Mega Drive as Mega Bomberman in 1994, so its Japanese exclusivity technically didn’t last long. This was likely due to the fact that the PC Engine underperformed outside of Japan, though the platform would be discontinued everywhere in 1994 regardless. Bomberman ’94 brings the series back to the PC Engine and is the first entry to (initially) release as a Japan exclusive since 3-D Bomberman. Even with the success of Super Bomberman overseas, Hudson Soft had different plans for the next 1993 entry.
