source: wikipedia_enBomberman 64 is a video game developed and published by Hudson Soft as "Baku Bomberman" in Japan, and published by Nintendo as "Bomberman 64" in North America and Europe for the Nintendo 64. In Japan the "Bomberman 64" name was chosen for another game, the fourth Japanese Bomberman entry in the series. The 1997 game was released in Europe and North America in November and December 1997, respectively. While the game never saw a release on the Wii's Virtual Console service, it was released on the Wii U Virtual Console in both Europe and North America in March 2017 followed by Japan in June 2017.
Bomberman 64 is the first 3D game within the Bomberman series. It implements a different single-player mode by incorporating action-adventure and platforming stages instead of arenas in which enemies or other elements must be destroyed. This new variety of single-player game was well-received by critics for its imagination and depth, though most critics also deemed the multiplayer mode to be lacking compared to previous entries in the series.
Three more Bomberman games were released on the Nintendo 64: Bomberman Hero (1998), Bomberman 64: The Second Attack (2000), and Bomberman 64 (2001).
