This latest scan shows the game will retain that Bomberman look and we're crossing our fingers that it will retain that classic feel, as well. And, thanks to this same magazine scan, we can confirm the game has 8-player support for online fun. It will also include 39 different stages and is scheduled for release on Wii Ware in Japan this June. Oh, and it will also feature Mii integration.
Like we said, this could be a new retail Bomberman game being developed for the Wii, or it could be the Wii Ware title. We're leaning toward the Wii Ware game, but it's not like Hudson hasn't hooked us up with retail discs containing Bomberman in the past.

I hope to God that they include kangaroos in this game. They've been missing in action since the SNES, and, honestly, they add a huge level of awesomeness to the game. The XBLA title just isn't the same without them.

I haven't heard of anyone else who echoes this opinion and it's a shame. Kangaroos are ftw. My favorite versions of Bomberman included them, Super Bomberman 5 (SNES) and Saturn Bomberman (Sega Saturn) - the latter being Bomberman perfection as far as I'm concerned.

As for me, i hope they follow the model of the numbered bombermans (93 & 94) from the T16 glory days

I don't think that's a WiiWare game. Firstly, the official Japanese WiiWare site calls it Wii , and the characters don't appear in that sequence anywhere on the page.
Additionally, my nearly-fluent fiancee (aw, now I'm "that guy") took a look, and the text talks about Battle and Story modes, and about the lineage of the series from the Famicom to the Wii.
My observations and her reading both seem to indicate retail disc, not a WiiWare release. I really hope I'm wrong, but I guess I'll take online multiplayer Bomberman on the Wii in any format Hudson wants to sell it.

Crap, left out the Japanese. They call it Wii ウェア, but those characters don't appear on the page.

The wires for the Remote/Nunchuk aren't a problem
