Super Bomberman 3 (SNES) Playthrough - NintendoComplete

Описание: A playthrough of Hudson Soft's 1995 puzzle-action game for the Super NES, Super Bomberman 3.

Played through the "normal" story mode. The video shows the European PAL release; the game was never released in North America.

As a kid, I remember reading about Super Bomberman 3 in some magazine's import section and thinking how disappointing it was that North America was the only major region that wouldn't be receiving it. Way, way, way later, thanks to emulation I finally got to play it (and later yet managed to get a real copy to play), and I think I was pretty right to be disappointed. It's an awesome game, and was the best Super Bomberman released yet.

While SB2 was a fairly iterative improvement on the original, SB3 was a far riskier bet. Numerous things were changed this time: the super shiny, modern graphics of the first two have all been replaced with simpler, cleaner artwork styled similarly to that found in the three Bomberman games for the TurboGrafx-16 (and this makes a lot of sense, looking at how SB3 and SB4 borrow pretty heavily from Bomberman '93 and '94). The soundtrack is much harsher and more aggressive (but insanely great nonetheless), and relies more on remixes of older tracks with some really quality sample-work rather than establishing brand new ones. The stages are square shaped again, but now you have the ability to ride Bomberman's adorable squad of neon-coloured animal friends, each with their own special ability, and the battle mode has been given a big upgrade: any player that gets knocked out now can wreak utter havoc on the field for those still in play by chucking bombs unexpectedly into the middle of the action. It certainly makes things more frantic, and adds another fun layer of strategy. It also allowed the person that sucked and always got killed by their own first bomb to continue playing without getting bored, which I'm sure was appreciated by little brothers and sisters the world over.

Super Bomberman 3, like 2 before it, improves in just about every way over the previous game. It's amazing how much of a knack Hudson had for releasing the same simple game over and over with slight alterations and improvements, yet somehow always kept the gameplay as fresh and fun as it was the first time around.
