• Creator Backlash: Hudson Entertainment has all but disowned Act Zero.
• Old Shame: Bomberman: Act Zero was Hudson Soft's attempt to re-imagine their iconic character for Xbox 360 audiences. It was slammed by critics and players for being too Dark and Edgy compared to its older games, along with a host of other problems. Hudson's US branch attempted to defend criticism of the game at first, but in this promo video for Bomberman Live (its first entry on Xbox Live Arcade), producer Joel Breton and marketing VP John Lee dismiss ''Act Zero'' as a very bad idea in hindsight.
  Lee: Let's not do that, dang it!
• Remade for the Export: Bomberman '94 was released in the west in the form of a Sega Genesis port titled Mega Bomberman after the TurboGrafx-16 was discontinued in the west.
  • And Mega Bobmerman had inferior graphics, despite being on a more powerful system, and only supported up to four players instead of five, despite the Genesis being capable of five players with the right MultiTap.
