Bomberman inspired Bombing Bastards got a new trailer today along with an official press release outlining many of the game’s features:

Key features:

• 5 picturesque worlds with 30 wicked mazes.
• A huge bestiary of critters to blast.
• A multitude of items and power ups to collect.

• A fully customizable battle mode for 2 to 5 players using the Gamepad, Wii Remotes, Classic Controllers and/or Pro Controllers.

• 7 famous pieces of classical music electronically butchered by Samuel Safa.

The game is coming to Wii U and PS4.

Colours, colours everywhere! Sakurai gets into the nitty gritty of mirroring character models today:

The leg and arm positions of some characters will automatically be mirrored when facing left or right. Mario, for example, will have his chest shown in the foreground regardless of whether he’s facing right or left. This was quite a tedious task, but thanks to it we can show the best features of each character even better.

He also provides an example of how it was before this change:

Here’s another example: in the previous games, you saw the back of Kirby’s head when facing left. Now Kirby looks great from any angle.
