As is the case in Europe, Bomberman 64 is heading to the North American Wii U Virtual Console this week. Nintendo’s website has it listed for tomorrow.

Here’s a brief overview from the page:

“The evil Altair is using the Omni Cube to drain the energy from Planet Bomber. With the aid of a mysterious helper, you must defeat Altair, and restore peace to Planet Bomber. In the Adventure mode, guide Bomberman through twenty-four areas of perilous conflict. Battle Altair’s sinister allies, destroy their bases, and put an end to the insane attack. The multi-player Battle mode offers endless explosive action!”

Bomberman 64 will set you back $9.99.

Bomberman 64 is making its way to the European Wii U Virtual Console on Thursday, Nintendo’s website confirms. It will be the US version of the game.

Here’s an overview:

“How many jobs are there out there where one gets paid to toss bombs around, blowing up everything in your path? The evil Altair has wrested control of the Omni Cube (which allows its holder to possess the tremendous power of the universe), and it’s up to Bomberman to get it back.”

And a trailer:

Bomberman 64 was rumored to hit the European Wii U Virtual Console this week after it was listed by ShopTo. That was apparently correct after all.

A classic Bomberman title could be making its way to Europe next week. If a listing from UK retailer ShopTo is to be believed, Bomberman 64 will be out for the Wii U Virtual Console on March 9.

While folks are starting to move on from Wii U, bringing Bomberman 64 to the Virtual Console may make some sense. Bomberman ’94 just came out last month, and interest in the series has picked up due to the release of Super Bomberman R on Switch.
