    I thought the Wii already had a virtual fireplace.

    It does; this is the second WiiWare fireplace game. I think we're witnessing the birth of a new genre.

    Hopefully it made you look it up in a dictionary, otherwise you'd grow up thinking it's a synonym for fireball. :P

    It's going to happen.

    Granted, FF VI Advance does make it look incomplete.
    I'm going to buy it day one, and if I can schedule that Monday off. I love FF VI.

    Eh, FFVI Advance is a good, definitive version for me. So I'd pass if it came to VC - I can live without Woolsey's goofy translation and all the censorship :P (not to mention all the freakin' bugs!)

    I'm sure I'd buy FFVI if it was released here on VC, even though the GBA version is superior and there's sure to be a 3DS version eventually. But I'll just keep buying it again and again because that's what I do.

On the Virtual Console™ service, Bomberman Hero lets Wii™ owners enjoy classic and combustible fun from the Nintendo 64™ era. New arrivals for the Nintendo DSiWare™ service include GO Series EARTH SAVER, which challenges players to blast apart a deadly meteorite that threatens all of humanity. And if your taste runs beyond pyrotechnics, you'll also find soccer, gymnastics and squishy driving action in this week's lively mix of downloads.

Hearing this, Bomberman vows to save the princess, even if he has to travel the length of the galaxy to do it. Bomberman is equipped with an infinite supply of bombs and can count on a variety of upgrades to aid him in his quest. His search for the princess takes him to five exciting planets, reuniting him with his old friend Louie and uncovering new items.

As an explosives expert, you can plant a series of bombs to create chain-reaction combos, easily blasting off chunks of rock the size of houses. You'll also need to tackle the many strange alien life forms you encounter by either blowing them up or cunningly blasting around the piece of rock they're standing on so they fall with the meteorite. Can you save Earth from obliteration and secure the future of mankind?

    I always wondered how a character that is essentially a terrorist by definition (or at least a mad bomber [what bombs at midnight, yeah, baby, yeah]) could be made so endearing in the public consciousness.

    I love The Tick references. So many great villians.

    Also Konami did that "grim-dark" bomberman? What the hell? I thought hudson owned the franchise? Or was that put there after konami bought them?

    How is the act of placing some bombs any worse than shooting a gun, and yet guns are all over endearing characters?

    The main dude from Cave Story is no different from Bomberman or Link.

    I mean bombs are clearly an acceptable method of combat on his planet, people have left augmentations for them lying all over the place, under every other rock. They have a short blast radius and only fire in perfectly orthogonal lines, are not powerful enough to destroy 50% of any given set of physical material, and are only used to further the forces of good.

    And so help me if anyone tries to say "or so we are led to believe" at that last statement then I want a treatise challenging the established morality systems of every other video game ever made.

    The only way you could say Bomberman was a terrorist is if the other players 2-4 were playing The Sims and had no idea player 1 was really playing Bomberman.

    Would implied terrorist work? Oh, I suppose he could be a demolitions expert where he comes from. But the name Bomberman has taken on a more sinister sound given the situation the world at large is in these days.

    Don't know about you, but I hear the words bomber and man together and I think crazy guy who likes to sew discord and cause chaos.

    No, because there is nothing terrorist-like about what he does. Link uses bombs as well. So what?

    Splosion Man constantly blows himself up, does that make you think of terrorism? I mean, every time I hear the words splosion and man together I think of the horrifying photos that come out of war zones.

    Do Bullet Bills from Mario make you uncomfortable? Bullets take a lot of lives each year, and jumping on top of them is not a realistic solution.

    Ahem.

    Link's name is Link. Not Bomberman. Lots of characters use bombs. Samus uses power bombs--doesn't make me think she's some kind of secret Muslim sleeper cell.

    'Splosionman sounds like... I dunno, comical? I hear the word 'splosion and I think action movie. I'm talking about immediate imagery conjured forth on a subconscious level, here.

    Also, does Bullet Bill explode? I think not.

    That picture is awesome, btw. Looks like a young Peewee Herman.
