** This isn't the first ''Bomberman'' game to have a darker & edgier feel to it. ''VideoGame/AtomicBomberman'' had the titular character with a new design that more closely resembled a robot. Also, the visuals were done with pre-rendered 3D graphics in a similar vein to ''VideoGame/DonkeyKongCountry''. But that game also kept the same sharp game-play as the originals and primarily used its new visual style to have a different flavor, and didn't take itself very seriously at all. Furthermore, while Bomberman had a new design, he was still recognizable as Bomberman.

* AudienceAlienatingPremise: A gritter, darker take on Bomberman didn’t really win longtime fans over. A game where you have to go through 99 levels with no lives, no continues, and no way to save your game? ''Nobody'' thought that was a good idea.

** The plot shares similarities to that of the original ''Bomberman'', where the protagonist's main goal was to [[PinocchioSyndrome escape the bomb factory to become fully human]]. However, [[DarkerAndEdgier the tone]] of this installment makes it virtually unidentifiable with that game (or the rest of the series).

* SnarkBait: This game is often held up as a prime example of a DarkerAndEdgier reboot gone wrong and everything wrong with the video game industry's obsession with gritty realism in the mid-2000's.
