New video of Bomberman: the Not-WiiWare Edition

We were confused for quite a while about the two simultaneously-developed Wii Bomberman games, one for WiiWare and one on a disc. Part of the confusion turned out to be due to the fact that the multiplayer portions of both games were essentially the same, with the retail version adding single-player mode and other extras. Helpfully, this promotional video for Bomberman shows the box and the 5,040 yen ($47) price at the end, which reinforces that this is the retail game and not Bomberman Blast.
The video introduces Bomberman's story mode, with adventure sequences (or cutscenes) between Bomberman-style action stages and fights against giant bosses. You can get crystals to power up, and even (apparently) buy equipment for your Bomberman. Then the video shows off the battle mode, which is ... well, Bomberman. As it should be.

i dont think im too fond of seeing that there is a jet pack that can get the player out of a trapping situation. i think its going to make matches last way longer than they should and with 8 players, they are going to last long enough the way it is. trapping a player between two bombs is damn satisfying (or trapping someone who was greedy and went for a power up with only 1 way out) and to see that you can now evade those trappings kind of takes away some of the fun...
but thats just me.

But it would also be damn satisfying to fly away from that two bomb death trap
