Bomberman Live for XBLA

360 News | Official announcement pending.
Those burned by the horror that was Bomberman: Act Zero can hopefully find it in themselves to finally forgive Hudson Soft; especially since the company plans to set things right in an old-school Xbox Live Arcade fashion, with Bomberman Live.

While the game has yet to receive any official acknowledgement by Hudson Soft, the allusions and outright obvious evidences of the game's existence say otherwise. Already having received a 'G' rating from the Australian Office of Film & Literature Classification, along with a trailer for the game popping up on French website Xboxygen, it's only a matter of time before Hudson's PR stubbornness gives in.

According to Belgian website X-Power, Bomberman Live will provide multiplayer bomb-a-thons, in the style of the nostalgic 90s peak of the series, for up to eight players online. With development handled by Backbone Entertainment, along with curious references to varying content packs for the game in the works, X-Power reports that we should all expect to be swearing profusely at getting stuck in corners by our own bombs sometime in June.

'Tis a crop of a piece of promotional art from the game's press assets, provided by X-Power.

(And that was a lot of P's).
