not even konami knows more about bomberman than him
High-on-the-ladder management at Konami have probably never played a match of Bomberman in their life.
Konami knows about bomberman?
bro bears the forbidden knowledge
Square Enix buys Taito = Keeps Taito's studio and brand
Sega buys Atlus = Sega keeps Atlus studio and brand
Arc System Works buys Technos from Million = Arc System keeps Technos brand (studio was dismissed from a long time)
Konami buys Hudson = "It's lunch time!!" (Konami get rid of Hudson's brand and studio, keeps the nutrien... I mean, the IPs).
Konami doesn't even realize that there are other bomberman characters who are bombers outside of the 8 siblings, the dastardlies and Max.
I really did NOT expect Tommy Tallarico to be in this video. I'm sure his mother is very proud
HAHAHAHSH u a real one for that mom jokd
MAN EMBARRASSES KONAMI WITH THIS ONE SIMPLE TRICK

Official Bomberman loremaster
The best Bomberman game for me is still Bomberman PSP. You can just tell alot of budget went into the making of the game. Heck the attention to detail is insane whenever you destroy enemies. Each enemy has their own death animation and the bosses (from World 4 onwards) actually react whenever hit. Some of them shake violently like a machine would and the organic ones flinch. Not to mention the amount of worlds they have (each world having 10 levels too). Coupled with fun multiplayer and a remade classic mode as an extra game mode. It’s the most enjoyable Bomberman to date
Imagine making a sequel that DOESN'T even add new powerups or new louies. Couldn't be me.
Despite the practices Konami has done even for recent time and how devisive the style of Bombergirl is, I'm practically convinced the team who develops most of the stuff for the game exist in an internal pocket dimension where they pitch concepts for games in the most unhinged way possible.
God you could almost fill up a ps5's entire system storage with all those files
i love Bomberman so much. most of my experience with it was during the N64 era, but the classic appeal of the character sticks with me
ironically i started super bomb survival 6 years ago thinking it was a bomberman clone and it didnt turn out like that
Same! The Second Attack is still one of my favorite N64 games of all time!
40:13 the best part of the live: when the game gave up on us. 😂
Do you know how hard was for me to keep my laughter down because I was supposed to be sleeping?
Is anyone getting a few Megaman vibes from the SBR 2 story?
The Ellon and Lugion are basically Cyber-Elves, Fusell is similar to Dr. Weil in design and being one who was forced to be immortal (even the plugs Fusell has look like the ones seen when Dr. Weil attatches himself to Ragnarok), but with a vaguely Sigma-esque head.
YES IM GETTING MEGAMAN VIBES :D
Honestly, SBR2's story made me realize how much important were the dastardlies in SBR1'story:
Now, I might be in the minority but I think that a Bomberman reboot is the right choice if it's objective is to try to give the franchise a stable lore and story, and giving White some siblings can work, but they were all extremely one-note and couldn't work as characters outside of a joke or two, which is why the dastardlies were necessary, as 1, they reminded people of the franchise's roots, and 2, their powers and personalities were able to create good dynamics with the heroes which kept players interested, and made boss fights memorable.
The issue with sbr2 is that, as there is no group of evil bombers or anything else the siblings can confront themselves with, they are not able to make great dynamics with each other and the story becomes much more of a chore while the bosses are just big robots with no personality and the villain, Fussel (who's also the only other speaking character in the plot) only appears at the end and his tone is too different and dark compared to everything else which makes him fall flat too.
I'm not asking for a "deep, complex and M rated" for Bomberman, but I just wish it had "something" that made it worthwhile outside of one random plot twist.
Also i think the fact the only the only 3 new playable characters in are regular enemies shows how much they cared about making this game.
The king... has returned
Never would I thought that you you’d make a continuation to the astounding 8 hour video, your dedication is inspiring!(I became more interested in the Bomberman franchise because of you, keep up the good work!)
I just want a super bomberman collection...
Same man
Bombergirl is amazing! I know the girls and the art can be difficult to stomach for some people, but the gameplay is so refreshing after how stale the Bomberman gameplay has gotten. Adding classes and an actual objective other than blow up the other players adds so much depth to the game. The only downside I see to it is ping can really break a match.
Bombergirl is exclusively for 15 year old boys. Very mature obviously
@@marvelousballbruh moment 💀
@@marvelousball, are you sure about that?
"it's my first time 😣😳"
Hell yeah followup! Thank you so much for continuing to being "The Bomberman Documentary Guy"
Hopefully the Dastardly Bombers have a role in Super Bomberman R 3. If they ever make one.
Of all the game companies, it's so sad that Konami had to be the one to buy the Bomberman IP.
All my friends played SBR1 and SBRO. None of us bought SBR2 cause we felt it was a bad deal and didn't really add much. But, WOW, I had no idea how much of a straight up downgrade SBR2 was: no co-op campaign? reduced roster from SBR1? removed alternate stages? and the 1 new mode isn't even balanced properly? Hudson would have never done this.... Why does Konami consistently make the worst decisions?
🦀 ...Money!
It feels EXTREMELY rushed on so many factors, especially with the story's almost anticlimatic ending. I'm still gonna buy it personally bcuz more Bomberman is good for me, but I definitely see where you're coming from
@@NotArmani31how tf did they managed to rush one of the switch launch titles back in 2017 dawg 😭😭😭😭
@@Josuh Idk, but I assume they rushed SBR2 to meet the anniversary deadline (+ the first did so well due to it's launch title status so... money 🤑)
Konami taking way too many cues from Gamefreak's Switch-era playbook, I swear...not that ANY company should be aiming to defile their IP as much as they've been doing the past 5 years or so. :(
Hey, a followup!! I watched the 8 hour one over the over the holidays last year, it got me to marathon Jetters. Probably the most emotional an anime has ever made me.
Bomberman N64 was a big part of my childhood, and your videos have been reviving my fixation on it and Bomberman as a whole!! I really wish Konami loved this series nearly as much as the fans, but these have given me a lot of games and things to be able to go back and check out! Merry Christmas, and keep up the great work!!
Oh I don't know if you covered it elsewhere, but Atomic Bomberman had a whole campaign editor with spawnable enemies - you had to open levels in notepad to edit them there but you could make changes in plain text there.
i was just wandering on youtube trying to find something to watch while I eat food and thought "hey that 8hours Bomberman video was pretty cool", typed on search, then I just found that a sequel video was recently uploaded, best christmas present
Oh shit, remember watching the OG 7 hour vid
I actually really like the plot of SBR2... as a synopsis. I do enjoy cartoon-y or mascot series tackling darker or more serious villains and topics, but I feel like this would have worked a lot better in one of the older Bomberman timelines. SBR in general really does not seem to get the appeal of Bomberman.
I do wish we could get more of Bombergirl internationally, especially as possible single player adventures or even anime or manga spin-offs
Do you have a female bomberman fetish?
I think Bomberman the Second Attack is the closest you can get to a darker Bomberman game in the older timeline. It does fit better and they even had Square Enix people working on the story and music. Kinda explains why it's one of the few darker Bomberman games lol...
Oooo!! A follow-up video I am very glad to see!!! Bomberman is such an iconic guy, yet people don't know that much about him, you're the foremost bomberman appreciator! Gladdens me to see Bomberman appreciated!
Game journalists getting thing wrong about a series few people care about these days? Color me shocked!
Anyway, happy to see a followup of a longform video I watched on the regular.
oh hell, a fifty minute addition to the eight hour bomberman video making it a whole nine hour bomberman retrospective
It's kinda funny that they retconned LINE stickers of all things (even if it was a good retcon)... Konami sure is weird
45:29 if you're worried about SBR2 spoilers for some reason (like me) this is the end of the SBR2 segment
I will also add some new stuff that was released for Bombergirl recently:
- Private matchmaking was added to the game, it has specific requirements like NAT A and a ping lower than 100ms, but it comes and goes like events
- The 2 year Anniversary is running RIGHT NOW and you can get a free girl just by logging in
- The PC version is almost up-to-date to the Arcade version minus the Rainbow exclusive content, like new music and graphics
- A report function was added and you can report people from your team and the enemy team
Also:
- A spanish wiki and guides are now in progress (they are based on the english ones)
- Somehow the game's servers became a bit unstable, resulting on an increase of lag of about 50ms for no reason, and it has been happening since Private matchmaking were added, but it has gotten better since them
Putting that aside, no wonder Konami sent so few copies of SBR2 to stores, the downgrade is horrible. How can you remove content from the previous game, resell content that was literally FREE and them just cobble it all together for 50$? It would have been decent if it was 30$, but not 50$. No wonder i saw it on sale at 35% off after 2 months of release, and it's still on sale lol
Also, the Dastardly Bombers getting into the cover art for the game but only appearing in the story mode credits reeks of content that was rushed and had to be cut since it couldn't be finished properly, like the elemental Ellons not having too much use in-game despite having working effects like bombs getting frozen and delaying the explosions that could be used in puzzles just as you said.
Maymay!
@@Majo_Ellen yoooo it's Majo Ellen
So the villain's essentially a kinder Dr. Weil.
(my comment got blammed haha) I still say Super Bomberman R2 could've really used a graphical overhaul. I know it was the switch version, but there still wasn't a lot going on environmentally... I'm not even a graphics snob or anything. Least the Bombers were a little better written this time around (aside from *that* line)
Also, dat ending 😂👌
Good video, dawg
The Bomberman journey never ends.......
I'm glad to see more Bomberman content here considering all that the series has to offer. I wanna ask though, do you think you could make a video ranking your favorite battle modes or campaigns?
Damn I missed this update video. The original was one of the greatest things I've ever seen. Will devour this.
3:10
THATS LIKE 200 MORE GIGABYTES THEN WHAT MY LAPTOP CAN HOLD AS A WHOLE, STOP 😭 SOMEONE HELP THIS MAN
lets goooo I needed more bomberman in my life
Thank you for this delightful Christmas present we do not deserve you
merry Christmas to you too! Thank you for, literally putting this out the day after I finished watching the 8 hour one LMAO
Hell yeah, was a fan of the original. Glad to see this!
Thanks for the update! I hope Konami will give the series more attention sometime
Holy shit bombergirl pc is real now
It's been real for far longer than he implied in the first video, just that it's basically locked behind creating a Japanese Koanmi ID account and having to deal with menus written in Japanese
It's a Bomberman Christmas miracle
Thanks for the update! I like your structured videos a lot so it's nice to see one when so many other channels are on hiatus for the holidays.
a followup for one of my favourite videos ever??????????? christmas miracle
Really needed more Bomberman in my life, thank you
Thank you youtube! I watched your bomberman video a long time ago but totally forgot about it, glad to be able to see this gem of a channel again.
Thanks so much for doing this man! I loved your original 8-hour video, and I'm so glad to see a follow-up. It's interesting to see how BR2 compars to past games.
Merry Christmas to you too.
Glad you ended up making a continuation of the original video. Almost makes me wish there could be an enhanced version of the original video but this is a good compromise, as an enhanced version sounds like hell to make
AHA omg wow i had no clue about most of this...Thank you for the update and for all the work put into this! Merry Christmas and to anyone reading the comments, go give Bakugaiden IV a try!♥
Aww but I love the personalities. Reminds me of really old Saturday morning cartoons!
I just hope that they dont censor bombergirl, because weird or not weird, the lewd conrent should still exist
I dunno man, it’s outta place in my opinion. Wanna make Bomberman and the rest of the cast as cute anime girls? Sure, go ahead. Center it around fanservice and suggestive (optional) attire? Seems weird. Sex sells, so who am I to say? .-.
rife dropping another banger just in time for christmas
I was just watching the original one when this notification popped up
The other journey realy got viral, love the follow up.
@3:09 you poor man, gave me a good chuckle.
Just what I needed for the holliedays, LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
i was waiting for this! thanks for making this
as an every now and then player of bombergirl i am glad that fem mujoe is an announcer instead of a character because i spend an embarrassing amount of money to get only two characters and a lot of duplicate clothes...
This is such an awsome Christmas video!
Nice vid and Merry Christmas, Rife!
After the first playthrough and revisiting the game again, I find the SBR2 storyline to be kind of unintelligible, especially towards the end when Fusel talks about the reason for his actions. As for my impressions, the game is slightly better than SBR1, but we are still sent into the standard monotonous gameplay, similar in feel to SBR1, but stretched out over several hours thanks to Ellons grind.
Overall, SBR2 left me in a similar mood as after playing through SBR1 and Sonic Forces: Slight Disappointment, but overall it's not a bad game.
P.S: Now I'm trying to formulate my thoughts on this and finally sit down to write a script for my video.
Seriously, they added Roblox OOF to Dynablaster?! I can't believe it. XD
You know, I think this guy might like Bomberman.
awesome video thank you for sharing your power level with us once again
Glad to see you back!
Thanks for the follow-up!
I actually bought R2 solely to play the 64 Mode i had a lot of fun with in R Online. Don't really care about the Campaign, couldn't really warm up with it. But online is pretty fun and thankfully more so with the weird schedules being removed. That was a terrible idea, how am i supposed to time-manage that midweek?
bombergirl best game ever
Great video!
Gotta say man, love your content. People like you keeping the man alive 👍🏿✋🏿🤌🏿👏🏿🫵🏿🤘🏿🖐🏿🤚🏿💪🏿👌🏿👋🏿
I'm gonna have to watch the 8-hour video again just to remember everything... thank god, I've been in need of some long-form content for background noise.
OMG YESSSSSSSSSSSS I WAS LOOKING FORWARD TO THIS
1:49 thanks to include me? That's unexpected to once again my name to be immortalized as the follow-up to A Bomberman Journey.
Even though me hosting isn't the full story.
Because I know that the stream that you were going to do as a send off to SBRO and I know that it's going to be boring in some way I own premium and I know Rife didn't have it but he did bought TurboExpress and a PC-Engine GT, but that's another conundrum. But there was only one problem I didn't have internet at the time because i recently moved into a new place and we're waiting for the connection to moved in so what I have to do is pack up my Switch and go back where I previously lived that it isn't that far at least one of my neighbors that were friends of ours let me borrow the internet that is extremely nice and now I have to wait until Rife give me the green light to hosts the server and do some battles there and for me it feels the most heroic thing I ever did.
but it's not that at all ends well because I want to arrive early home to avoid suspicion that I was out I needed to wrap up the hosting around 11:30pm Eastern time at least there was another individual who could also host, Moonbeam. "also thank you Moonbeam for taking the rest".
I arrived home safely and that's that.
At least they kind of put somewhere in the Bomberman community and it's all thanks to you.

I appreciate the eerie use of Jetters soundtrack, but, hooooo, that's actually... pretty sad. Like they almost had a really interesting villain, but the mood is definitely thrown off by the poor writing. The fact they didn't even try to help Fussel in any way after the game inverts to being morbidly comical, even!
Well, on the bright side, the homage to the Super series bosses (and maybe Altair) is neat too.
Man...
It's good to see you doing this again though, this was a fun and .... more digestable video that I didn't have to watch 3 days in segments to finish! Yay~!
Looking forward to what Bomberman games may appear in 2024.
when the first trailer released i was spectulating that the villain of sbr2 was g ganzu, it was not, but im actually surprised that they referenced him in the final fight, so i guess that counts
banger video!
THE GOAT RETURNS
Merry Christmas too RifeXD!
thanks for keep up dating the series even it is not as cool as it was during the Hudson era
maybe we can hope for the SFC classic bundle or something like that one day
The chosen one has returned
Thank you for all your hard work o/
Yay!!! let's go new video 😊
Great video! 💣💥 it was such an experience watching through Bakugaiden 4. SBR2’s story could’ve been fleshed out better. Loved how you included that final boss moment from that livestream, it was pretty funny when it happened. I hope Bakugaiden gets brought over to the west officially. Maybe I’ll try out that Dynablaster clone some time. Merry Christmas, Rife Picklewi, and may Steamy Jimmy’s channel Rest In Piece. 😔🫡🎄it will not be forgotten
i am both mad and sad that jimmy was taken down. he was like pure fan of hudson soft. but now he's taken down like konami. to hell with konami!
He's back 🤯
The legend has arrived
I was genuinely blindsided by how bad SBR2 was. Because Konami barely advertised the thing, I didn't know what to expect from the story mode other than the fact that it was going to be more open-ended. I thought "Oh cool, it'll be interesting to see them try something other than the usual 2D Bomberman campaign for once." I was also happy to see that they had preserved Battle 64 from SBRO, easily one of the best twists on online Bomberman.
It was the dullest, grindiest slog I have ever experienced in a Bomberman game. I quit after reaching the second world (Out of three... really?) because I knew it wasn't going to get any better. This may be one of the worst mainline Bomberman games; at least Act Zero still progressed like a traditional Bomberman under its gritty exterior. And that's not even getting into how much worse it looks than the previous game, or the fact that you couldn't even freely choose online multiplayer modes until an update, something THE PREVIOUS GAME HAD.
The first SBR had its fair share of warts, but for being the first new mainline Bomberman with a campaign in years, it was fairly good. SBR2, though... What the fuck happened? Everything from the gameplay to the graphics and UI is an objective downgrade. Surely these weren't the same developers as the first one, I refuse to believe it.
damn i might have to go download bombergirl now
ain't no way he added an extra hour to that video
I think you missed the Apple Exclusive "Amazing Bomberman" which was again an Apple Arcade Exclusive
Well the whole purpose of this video was just a review of SBR2 I guess he will talk about it in the future not sure
My dear, would you be able to make a video showing more in depth about Bomberman in Japan? I wanted to know more about the voice actors, the creators of the songs and also about the events that Hudson did it in the country with the cowgirl, beyond TV commercials
I appreciate you not only making a new bomberman video, but getting a better mic too. 😂
7:40 16 player standard was already implemented in SBRO. SBR2 didn’t add anything new to standard…
imagine in 20 years when people start putting out Bombergirl Retrospectives
Can’t wait to watch this
NOOO NOT JIMMY OF ALL PEOPLE!
I remember that original vid cause I left it on all day while I had covid lmfao
10:50 That's true, but only for the "Regular" regulations. The editor has 2 regulations, "Free" and "Regular", and "Free" can only be used in private matches, "Regular" can be used in both private and Graded (public, with random people). However, there is another difference between these and that's your limitations to what you can place.
"Free" is a lot more... well, free, since the people you will be playing with will be open to play whatever monstrosity of a stage you have built, since you must either already know them or they had to join your lobby. But Graded matches must be more fair and easy since the attackers must have a good chance too, it's been made more limited.
Some differences are controlling what each individual soft block drops, areas around the spawn locations where it is prohibited to place objects, changing the location and other parameters of Ellon Gates and the way the limit to the number of total objects in handled.
You could argue that it's unreasonable to put these limitations at Graded Matches, but I at least want to say that it is less limitationg in private matches and that some of the limitations you are talking about are "Regular" specifically
I think I milked it too much
Is it me or Fusell kinda looks like Sigma from Mega Man X? And the inmortal stuff reminds me of Dr. Weil.
The bomberman journey is forever
I wake up in cold sweat occasionally when I dream of bombergirl, knowing it exist put some sort of panic attack into me
Hell yeah dude
