About this game
Released in 1997, Bomberman 64 was the first full 3D entry in the long-running Bomberman series, reinventing the classic formula for the Nintendo 64 era. A story-driven adventure mode complemented the series' signature multiplayer mayhem, and the game introduced the ability to pump and throw bombs — adding new tactical depth. It demonstrated that Bomberman could make the leap to 3D without losing its essential appeal.
Key Features
3D adventure stages with a story mode, ability to pump bombs to grow them and throw them for long-range attacks, four-player battle mode, and multiple elemental bomb types. The gold card collectibles added replay value to the adventure mode.
The Story Behind
The late 1990s were a critical moment for 2D franchises adapting to 3D. Bomberman 64 navigated this transition with more success than many contemporaries, preserving the core multiplayer identity that had defined the series on the Super Famicom.
Tricks & Tales
Bomberman 64 was the first game in the Bomberman series to feature a 3D adventure mode with a narrative. In Japan, the title 'Baku Bomberman' (爆ボンバーマン) was chosen to differentiate it from earlier entries, with 'Baku' (爆) meaning 'explosion.'
