History VideoGame / Bomberman94

''Bomberman '94'' is a 1993 installment in the ''VideoGame/{{Bomberman}}'' franchise for the [[UsefulNotes/TurboGrafx16 PC Engine]], the follow-up to ''[[VideoGame/Bomberman93 Bomberman '93]]'' and a predecessor to ''VideoGame/SuperBomberman 3''. The game introduced series mainstays Rooi the kangaroo-like creature, and Buggler/Bagular/Buglear, the franchise's primary BigBad.

In 1994, the game was ported and localized as ''[[SuperTitle64Advance Mega Bomberman]]'' for the [[UsefulNotes/SegaGenesis Sega Genesis / Mega Drive]]. Despite being on a more powerful console, the port had inferior graphics, and multiplayer only supported up to four players instead of five even though the console was capable of five players with the right [=MultiTap=]. Due to these flaws, it is passed up in favor of the original Japanese version for worldwide re-releases, including the UsefulNotes/{{Wii}} UsefulNotes/VirtualConsole, [[UsefulNotes/PlayStationNetwork PlayStation Network]], [[UsefulNotes/MicrosoftWindows Windows 8.1]] via the Windows Store, the UsefulNotes/WiiU Virtual Console and the PC Engine Mini / [=TurboGrafx=]-16 Mini.
