ActZero[edit]

I'm moving Bomberman: Act Zero to Fifth Generation. It's not really a spinoff. --67.182.138.63 21:15, 23 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Moving it again. If you have a valid argument, A generic black mage, please, post it here. 67.182.138.63 22:15, 23 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Act Zero is just an entirely new spin off series which is not part of the same canon! 68.6.110.123 19:13, 21 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What does that have to do with anything? Panic Bomber and Bomberman Kart are part of the same universe, but they're spinoffs because they have different gameplay. Wario Blast is a spinoff because it features a main character which is not Bomberman. Act Zero is not 'an entirely new series', it's a 'game in the series featuring a slightly different take of the character'. The gameplay is that of Bomberman. The character is Bomberman. It's a Bomberman game. I know people were hurt and want to take out their frustrations by claiming on Wikipedia that it's not part of the series, but relax. Though this is a true Bomberman game, Bomberman will continue to look the same as he did. IndecisionV 00:01, 26 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Soooooo, moving it back. It's not a spinoff, it's a real part of the series. Bomberman just looks different. By those same rules, Bomberman DS would be a spinoff, because he looks different. Almost every Bomberman game has its own take on the universe. IndecisionV 19:07, 29 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Is there any way to set up a vote or something? I think this seriously needs it. IndecisionV 16:42, 31 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Pocket Bomberman[edit]

This Game Boy Color game isn't mentioned. But which section do I put it in? Digifiend (talk) 09:51, 1 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can Someone explain the "To Similarities" section of this template[edit]

If we're talking about games that are similar to bomberman, then: 1."To Similarities" seems a bit abstruse. Is this standard nomenclature for video game templates? 2. Goof Troop is a game hardly similar to Bomberman. They're only alike in that they have a top-down perspective.--Cheeseball701 (talk) 04:00, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I also don't understand the name or purpose of the section. Reach Out to the Truth 05:54, 30 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

It's vague and unsubstantiated. Removed. --Jtalledo (talk) 19:40, 16 July 2012 (UTC)[reply]
