While Bomberman 64 isn't the first game in the Bomerman series, it was loved by fans for a variety of reasons. From the great adventure mode to the high quality single-player mode however, the multiplayer for the game wasn't as highly rated by gamers or critics.
The game is the first 3D entry to the Bomberman series and is focused around platforming which is different to the original game. The original game was focused around arena's filled with enemies and other environmental dangers.
Over 40 developers from Hudson Soft [1] worked on bringing the game to life and it was finally released in 1997 for the Nintendo 64. However, the game was also released in 2017 for the Wii U Virtual Console allowing players to revist it. While Hudson Soft developed the game, Nintendo published it in North America and Europe.
One of the big baddies in the game is Regulus, one of the Masked Trio who serves under Altair and is his right-hand man. Unlike the other villians in the game, Regulus becomes an ally to Bomberman and even supports him in the final fight against Siruis. During the final fight, the player must also ensure that Regulus survives the fight while also defeating Siruis.
This isn't the end of Regulus however as he's also featured in Bomberman 64: The Second Attack! where he is called “Bulzeeb” instead throughout most of the game. Towards the end of the game however, he rejects the name and demands to be called “Regulus” once again.
There was some suggestion from fans that Regulus could be in the Super Bomberman R game which was released in March. Fan theories stated that the “R” could stand for “Reunion” [2]. However, this turned out to be incorrect and there was no Regulus.
There have been no hints from Hudson Soft or Nintendo about a possible Bomberman 64 release for the Nintendo Switch eStore. Hopefully the developer and publisher will release a statement in the future confirming that this classic game is getting another lease of life.
