Bomberman Hero
Bomberman Hero is a platform video game developed by A.I Co., Ltd. and published by Hudson Soft for the Nintendo 64.

It is notable for being a dramatic deviation from previous Bomberman titles, featuring predominant platforming gameplay as opposed to the series' traditional top-down strategy gameplay.

Where Bomberman Hero sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where Bomberman Hero lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 56ahead of 11% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 9ahead of 64% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about Bomberman Hero
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
