Theoretically, if I recorded the only existing full playthrough of the PSP Bomberman title in the form of a Longplay for this thread, could I post it here or would I need to jabber over it for it to qualify?

It would qualify only as a longplay. You can do that if you want, but the point of the megathread was to get more Bomberman LPs onto SA and the LP Archive, since before I joined the forum none of them were finished or archived.

Alrighty! That's fine, I just felt the PSP game needed sharing too, since apparently the human race forgot it existed, and I doubted anyone else would have the patience for it.

I've decided to add commentary to explain the functions of certain mechanics and enemies, because if I'm only going to make one video for Bomberman Legacy it might as well be as good as I can make it.

So, I guess I call dibs on Bomberman for the PSP? That's how it works, right?

Yep that works.

Just FYI, I talked with Baldurk about it previously with the Bomberman NES LP, and he doesn't archive single-video LPs. So unless you're not bothered about archiving it you can do what you like.

We'll see how it goes as I edit it, but thank you for your answers! I'm glad to be able to share a Bomberman title, since I love this series and couldn't originally think of a meaningful way to contribute.

I thought Mega Bomberman was a bad port of Bomberman '94 (which I really liked.)

'94 has a ton of similarities to the Super Bomberman series though.

Yep it was. Despite the Genesis being a stronger system, the visuals and audio were inexplicably worse.
It could easily have been a problem with my recording setup, but I recorded all of '94 for the original megathread plus a bit of Mega for comparison, and Mega's audio quality was godawful.

I don't think it was your recording, the graphical and audio in the Genesis version are just really bad.

Yes the audio was pretty bad with the fart volcano of World 2, that was totally not your fault.

Everything resembling an explosion or lava on the Mega Drive usually sounded like a fart.

I always forget there are so many Bomberman titles, and then get depressed that 30-something games still isn't enough for me.

Quick update to let everyone know that ElTipejoLoco has graciously taken on recording Bomberman 64: The Second Attack for us. The LP will be going differently than previous LPs in the megathread, as you guys will be asked to vote on a couple things after each part, and the LP will be updated weekly rather than over the course of one single week. No ETA just yet on when the first part will be ready, but it'll be up on a Monday when it is.

Also, GamesAreSupernice, thought any more about doing PSP Bomberman?

I'm my footage with the commentary is dead. I tried to remake it but it's probably best to know when to cut my losses.

Regardless, here is the longplay I did back when I first tried to take on the project. Godspeed to anyone else who tries to make commentary for the drat thing.

If I imported a game that totally isn't Bomberman, but was developed by HudsonSoft and has many Bomberman mechanics, would that be alright to post here, or would you prefer I keep it in its own thread?

Let's Play DNA: Dark Native Apostle

DNA was a game developed by HudsonSoft for the PS2 way back in 2001. It was a very, very quiet release. Not many people played it, fewer people recorded it for posterity, and now I'm here. The game is a bit of an odd mixture. If you ever wanted to fuse Bomberman with an indie graphic novel, Resident Evil, and countless escape the room games, this is your cup of tea. The action mostly revolves around bombing your enemies to death in the same fashion that was popularized in Hudson's flagship title, but this isn't really an action game. Most of the time is spent exploring and wracking your brain to find out where you could've possibly left that last important item. If that combination sounds too weird to be fun for you, hopefully it'll still be entertaining to watch. Just don't expect anything quite as bombastic as the intro song.

Not done yet since we still have Bomberman II, but to the StrawHatNo, PlayablePassion (GamesAreSupernice), ElTipejoLoco, Mr Phillby, and many other Let's Players involved, thanks for caring about the little things. It's an underrated thing to do; preserve and appreciate as much of gaming's history as possible in accessible ways. So much of gaming can be taken for granted, many are left forgotten.

It was fun. I love preserving forgotten games and Bomberman is a series I've always had a fondness for.
