Saturn Bomberman Fight!! (サターンボンバーマン ファイト!!, Satān Bonbāman Faito!!) is a 1997

maze video game developed and published by Hudson Soft for the Sega Saturn. It is the second Bomberman game for the Saturn, after Saturn Bomberman
. It features full 3D graphics unlike previous titles in the series.

Gameplay

Unlike previous Bomberman titles, which were 2D, Saturn Bomberman Fight!! is a fully 3D game featuring an

life bar that depletes when they are hit, instead of the one-hit kills of other Bomberman games.[3] The stages are smaller than previous 2D Bomberman titles, and it features up to four players.[1][2]

Gameplay modes in the game include Story Mode, Training mode, Battle mode, and survival mode.[4]

Release

It was released in Japan for the Sega Saturn on 11 December 1997,[5] and it was not released outside of Japan.[6] To promote the game, a commercial featuring Segata Sanshiro was made.[7] It was followed up by Bomberman Wars in 1998.

Reception

Saturn Bomberman Fight!! received generally positive reviews. GameSpot rated the game 7.4 out of 10, praising the gameplay and calling it a "welcome surprise" after the disappointing Bomberman 64.[11] In the review for Bomberman World, GameSpot stated that the two best recently released titles in the series were Saturn Bomberman, and Saturn Bomberman Fight, but lamented that they were for a system that was not popular in America.[6]

The UK Sega Saturn Magazine gave it a score of 90 out of 100.[12] Famitsu gave the game a score of 23 out of 40.[13] Joypad gave it a score of 82 out of 100.[14]
