Did anyone ever play this game with 10 players? --Abdull 21:31, 5 August 2005 (UTC)

Yeah, on a projector. It works perfectly. It is pretty cool, but I'm not sure I'd want to do it on anything but a giant TV/a projector. 87.56.8.96 15:17, 9 May 2007 (UTC)

Who is Miss Honey? --Abdull 23:37, 26 January 2007 (UTC)

Miss Honey seems to be the mascot of Hudson's Hyper Fun Club as you can see on this scan: [1]. Unfortunately the website http://honey.hudson.co.jp seems to be defunct. --Abdull 12:45, 27 January 2007 (UTC)

Dinosaurs..... or Louies?

What the question above says. Usually the in-game creatures are known as Louies, is this game any different? Overlord11001001 18:11, 19 August 2007 (UTC)

Reviews

Namcokid47 may have a point about the negative side being overemphasized, but "The game was acclaimed for its enjoyable gameplay and multiplayer, though some felt it didn't advance the series as much as earlier installments." is self-contradicting, since "acclaimed" is traditionally used to mean "uniformly praised". Also, the second half of the sentence is simply incorrect. Critics (even the ones who positively reviewed the game) weren't saying "Saturn Bomberman has so many innovative and game-changing advances for the series, but not as many as previous installments."; they were saying that previous installments did almost nothing to change up the formula and Saturn Bomberman is no different in that regard.--Martin IIIa (talk) 15:07, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

...Also, deleting all specific identification of those publications which reviewed the game positively while retaining specific identification of those which reviewed it negatively is rather suspect, an apparent attempt to conceal the fact that the game's "acclaim" is sourced only to a bare majority of 3 out of 5, with 2 of those 3 being relatively obscure platform-specific magazines.--Martin IIIa (talk) 15:23, 5 September 2021 (UTC)

Reflecting on this further, Namcokid47's repeated emphasizing of the review scores rather than the actual reviews makes me suspect part of the problem here is the massive number of scores listed in the review table with no corresponding prose. We're not supposed to have those anyway, as specified at the very top of the review table's documentation (like an air bag, the reviews table is intended to supplement prose summarizing the critical response, not replace it), and at present the huge reviews table so dwarfs the prose that it's no wonder that Namcokid looked at the review content as less than an afterthought. So, I'm removing the unattached review scores. If anyone fancies taking the time to summarize the reviews into prose, I'm listing the citations here:

• GameFan, volume 4, issue 10, page 19
• GamesMaster, issue 56, page 61
• Player One, issue 75, pages 86-89
