Title: Difference between NTSC-J Bomberman 64 and Baku Bomberman?
Post by: Retronplay on November 03, 2017, 03:18:55 pm
Hey, I’ve been trying to get a complete NTSC-J N64 collection. I was looking for the bomberman games and found that there is an NTSC-J Bomberman 64. It’s not on my list and my list has all 196. Is there a difference between Bomberman 64 and Baku Bomberman?

Note: I am not looking to buy from members.

You mean, what's the difference between Bomberman 64 (1997) and Bomberman 64 (2001)?

So, in Japan, I believe there are 3 Bomberman Games, Baku Bomberman 1, Baku Bomberman 2, and Bomberman Hero, because those are the 3 games on the list. I came across Bomberman 64 (NTSC-J). I’m wondering if this is the same game as one of those 3, or if it’s a game my list is actually missing.

There are 4 Bomberman games for the N64.  Baku Bomberman 1, Baku Bomberman 2, Bomberman Hero, and Bomberman 64.

Japan name             |   Non Japan name
Baku Bomberman 1 = Bomberman 64 (1997) (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomberman_64_(1997_video_game))
Baku Bomberman 2 = Bomberman 64: Second Attack (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomberman_64:_The_Second_Attack)
Bomberman Hero    = Bomberman Hero (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomberman_Hero)
Bomberman 64       = Nothing as it was JP only (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bomberman_64_(2001_video_game))
