Bomberman Wii Retail and Wii Ware are Cross Compatible
http://www.siliconera.com/2008/05/19...balance-board/
I'm glad that they're developing it in house, the XBLA version is painfully mediocre and horribly sluggish.
Hudson Japan announced Bomberman for Wii and Bomberman Wi-Fi 8 Person Battle Bomberman for WiiWare. What is the difference between the two?
Aside from the retail differences, the Wii version has pretty deep Story Mode, which has 39 stages across 5 areas, 31 different unique enemies and 5 big, bad bosses. We’ve even included a “Bomberman for Beginners” tutorial mode, so newcomers to the series can quickly learn how to bomb their way to victory.
Both the Wii version and WiiWare version have the famous Battle Mode, with the Wii version having 2 extra stages for a total of 12 (vs. WiiWare’s 10) and 20 different “appeal motions” vs. WiiWare’s 10. These appeal motions are extra moves you can have your Bomberman do to express emotions.
Of course, the big draw here is that Battle Mode works across both Wii and WiiWare; owners of one version can play against owners of the other version, so no matter which one you have, you’ll have plenty of people to compete with.
Is Hudson developing both the retail and WiiWare Bomberman games in-house or is one of them outsourced like Live was? (Thanks for the question Hero of Legend!)
We’re handling both in-house.

I bought Bomberman '93 on the VC and Bomberman Live last summer. I think I have my Bomberman fill for one generation of consoles.
