The Japanese debut of Bomberman 64. The leap to 3D works better than feared, the open levels reward exploration and the multiplayer remains a party-night staple. Purists may grumble at the calmer pace, but this adventure has a flavour all its own.

Is Baku Bomberman still worth playing in 2026?

Baku Bomberman is the Japanese version of Bomberman 64, the franchise's first move to 3D, blending platform exploration and strategic bomb combat in open worlds. The transition to three dimensions brings new tactical possibilities, and the multiplayer mode remains a great classic of conviviality. The camera and 3D handling call for some adaptation. For fans of the Bomberman series and retro party games, it is a historic step for the franchise, still enjoyable in a group.
