Lol. Yeah, I don't think a lot of people did. Don't know why though, I mean, it's one of the few Bomberman games that actually has a lot of dialouge. :P

Here, here's all the relevant text in the game, as well as the Fiendish Bombers' speeches:

Spoiler:
Magnet Bomber: Bomberman!
How'd you find me?

So, Max told you?
That big mouth...

Looking for Max,
are you?

Hahaha! I, Magnet
Bomber, have

already taken care
of him!

You've got some
Karabons, huh?

I'll show you how
to use them!

P. Fangs! Show
your great power!

Aaaaaaaahhhh!!!

Pretty Bomber: Long time no see,
Bomberman...

I heard about you
from MagnetBomber.

Looking for Max?
Give it up!

Cuz I'm about to
take you out!

Ha ha ha ha!!!

Come here, P.Sea.
Show me your power!

What?!

Plasma Bomber: Welcome,
Bomberman!

You're after Max?
Forget it!

Think you'll win?
Think again!

P.Dragon! Your
power is mine...

PlasmaBomber's!!
Hahaha...

Golem Bomber: You've got some
nerve coming here.

Wanna see Max,
that bad?

What do you know
about him?

Do you know who he
really is?

Well... No concern
of mine!

You're fated to be
destroyed here

anyways... By me,
GolemBomber!

SeaWing! Your power
is mine!

Brain Bomber: What are you
waiting for, Max?

Complete the
weapon NOW!

----

....................

----

Bomberman? HA!
We're almost done!

Max, keep him
busy!

----

(Max) ...Understood...

Max: ...huh? Where
am I?...

Brain Bomber: The Ultimate
Weapon was...

almost completed!

Max! You are a
failure!

I have no use for
failures!

Max: BrainBomber! I'll
get you for this!

Bomberman! Let's
take this guy out!

If we both fight
him, we can win!

Max: Looks like we
wiped him out!

Thanks for finding
me.

Let's go back to
the surface!

Story stuff:

1 - Epsilon: You wanna hear the
whole story? Ok...

1 year ago, when
the meteors fell,

a strange tower
appeared. Fantasy

was attacked. Now,
monsters roam the

country. Emeralda
fled Fantasy and

came to Fairy
Palace. The guards

know more. I'd go
ask them...

Some guy came, who
looked like Max,

and the next day a
blizzard set in.

Then the bridge
fell down.

Now, Fairy Palace
is frozen over.

That's all I can
tell you.

2 - Fairy Palace (Soldier): Some years ago,
this planet was

attacked.
We soldiers joined

together and faced
the enemy.

Among us was a
blue-eyed samurai

who went by the
name of Max!

I wish Max were
here now!

Where is he now?
What is he doing?

3 - Plasma Base: Oh! Last week,
some cool guy

dressed in black
came here.

Yeah, his name was
Max...

He knew a lot
about this place

even though he's
never been here.

4 - Fairy Palace (Soldier): Long ago, a
soldier named Max

saved this planet
from destruction.

Maybe he was killed
in an explosion.

Or maybe he went
after the bad guys.

It's all still a
mystery!

Queen Emeralda
still waits for his

return...

5 - Fairy Palace (Soldier 2): We know who
attacked Fantasy

on that day...
They have been

here before.
They are...

The 5 Dastardly
Bombers!

They are still
alive!

We fought... Even
lost Max...

all for naught.

6 - Fairy Palace (Skinny Soldier): One of the 4 wise
men, Mr. Boo,

came back and left
a message for you.

Here's what he
said...

One day, we 4 wise
men got hold of

some info about
how to destroy

The 5 Dastardly
Bombers. There is

1 Karabon who can
beat them, so we

found that Karabon
and went into battle.

The info was fake!

The Karabons upped
their powers!

We were defeated.

...That's all he
had to say...

7 - Fairy Palace (Skinny Soldier 2): When the meteors
fell, Fantasy was

taken by the 5
Dastardly Bombers

We managed to
escape and removed

the medals to keep
them from following

us to the desert,
but they were

already there and
took the 4 medals.

That's why we came
to Fairy Palace...

just like so many
years ago...

But they were
there, too...

In the end, we
were stuck here

while they are
free!

Even though there
are still monsters

on this planet, it
is still our home.

Could you restore
Fantasy to us?

We're all counting
on you...

8 - Emeralda: Bomberman, right?
Nice to meet you.

I am Queen
Emeralda.

You have helped
our people.

I really
appreciate it!

We've been hit
hard, so I can't

give you much,
but...

Please take this
Karabon...

----

That's a medal!
How did you...?

Oh! Those medals
are the key to

open the road to
Fantasy.

Please retrieve
all the medals.

If you have them
all, we can take

Fantasy back
from them!

There are 4 Medals,
so 1 is missing...

It must be near
the volcano.

We'll open the
gate to the desert

that we used to
escape from here.

It's right near
Upsilon.

From there, go to
the volcano.

9 - Omega (man): Omega is the only
undamaged place!

Only for now,
though...

If we got
Fantasy back,

we'd know what was
happening, but

they say the one
holding it is...

BrainBomber!

He attacked here
before...

Leader of the 5
Dastardly Bombers!

Coldhearted, he
uses terror to

control both
friend and foe!

He and Max stabbed
each other before,

but the forces
of evil won!

10 - Omega (old lady): Max? Blue-eyed
Max?

I know him!
Ah, the memories!

You been to the
connecting cave?

Max thought that up
and dug it out

so that water
could be carried

to the desert in
time of drought.

He's a hero!
...or was...

How do you know
Max?

Oh? Different Max.
Sorry...

Not included: Ending text, and holo-Max speeches. Not sure why. I guess they just didn't really reveal much to the story. I did this last year some time, I think.

So did I. Lol.

Didn't we used to have some sort of theorizing topic? Or am I just making stuff up now?

Yes, we did. In fact, it was there that we began talking about manuals and found out many things, such as the names of the various bomber groups. Bomber Shitennou/Four Heavenly Bombers, anyone? A great topic, that was.

About this tidbit...

Pretty Bomber: Long time no see, Bomberman... I heard about you from MagnetBomber. Looking for Max? Give it up! Cuz I'm about to take you out! Ha ha ha ha!!! Come here, P. Sea. Show me your power! What?!

Why the surprise?

[EDIT]: I've been meaning to ask... is your avatar related to that project of yours?

Serkol thought it was because she turned into a huge, ugly octopus thing. But she hadn't really turned into one yet when she said that. So I don't know. Possibly lost in translation?

Do you mean this?

I've been doing a little dabbling in something else (in the way of graphics) unrelated to this particular game, and finally got somewhere with it a few weeks ago. As for the result, I'm not sure when I would ever get anywhere with it, so I'm keeping it under wraps for now...

Well, yeah, it is... But I don't really want to say anything about it (at least in public) since, like I said, I may not get anywhere with it. I don't like to talk about projects of any kind out in the open unless I'm sure that I'm going to finish them. But, due to the more different nature of this particular project, it may end up replacing the old one (acronym TB). They're both Bomberman-related, but this one might be more awesome. Even though the other one would still be kind of cool as well. We'll see. Time is a precious commodity, of which I am somewhat deprived.

EDIT (changed a word)

It looks awesome. You know I want to see Pretty Bomber, don't you? XD

Ahem. Lost in translation it seems. I remember a video on NicoNico of the battle against Pretty Bomber. I'll try to find it again later.

I was supposed to work on a story section long, long ago for the shortlived Bomberzone, offshot site of Bombermania.
Nothing came of it however.

Okay, okay.



But no more! :mad:  lol

In any case, those are the only two Fiendish Bombers there would be. And keep in mind it's heavily a WIP.

So back to translation stuff.

Well, I guess this isn't necessarily translation stuff. But I was searching Google images in Japanese and I came across this:

http://blog-imgs-30-origin.fc2.com/d/r/e/dreamwind/up11.jpg

Is this from the Japanese manual or something? Because it's not in the English manual, and not in the guide. Note how SB4-ish his body looks (being all tiny with long limbs). And the chin has been lengthened, sort of like back in SB2. Also, the emblem is huge, like Brain Bomber's is in the new art. Must have a very different artist now, eh?

The text (aside from "Magnet Dragon") says

変身前 - Before transformation
変身後 - After transformation

Save target it, as the website doesn't seem to allow hotlinking. Here is a mirror of it.

Danke!

Yeah, probably from the japanese manual. The guide has no artwork for our beloved bombers, just the monsters they turn into.

Do want that! Is there more? Maybe a link to the site?

404? That's weird... Well, try this. I found it on a blog. I thought it was a blog from around the time the game got released, but apparantly it's from 2007, so I don't know. Scroll down a bit to the bottom of the post.

http://dreamwind.blog54.fc2.com/blog-entry-150.html


Well I guess Razon beat me to it. :hilarious:  Ok.

There should be others, at least Pretty Bomber (unless the other characters weren't shaded out in the Japanese manual as they are in the English one). Not on that blog though.

Ah, I know that person. She made the artwork I'm using as avatar!

Maybe I'll try asking her via e-mail for scans or something.

AFAIK, she is one of the very few.

She likes to draw a lot of Plasma x Pretty and Brain x Shiro porn doujins, but she also draws normal things.

Clearly this is the best possible response. Although I guess I could see more how a girl would like maleXmale shippings than vomiting... I mean at least the former logically -- Dear Angel of Light and Shadow let's stop talking about this. >_<

Yaoi is big in Japan, after all. But really, the Bomberman puking fetish is far more disturbing, in a number of ways.

Anyways, back to the topic... I guess nobody here owns Bomberman Tournament to scan the manuals, huh?
In other news, I really want HiTen Bomberman after reading Takahashi Meijin's blog posts about it.

You forget Dark Zaphe, we are talking of Brain Bomber here. So it's not simply male x male, it's regular male x creepy mad scientist with a bionic eye male.

Nah, as seen in my avatar (which is Brain), scrap the bionic eye part. He is still a mad scientist and... ah, I'd rather not enter into it.

Lol.

Well here's the European manual, on Ragey's site:

http://randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com/Bomberman/BombermanTournament/info.htm

Go to the bottom for the link. But really the guide has that content, and more. If anything, there are things probably cut out of the English manual, like the Fiendish Bomber artwork.

Yes, I have all of those. Who'd say the Bomberman Tournament original manual would be in my wishlist, huh?

GBA manuals in general are so crappy.

[EDIT]: Well, tough luck. She said she has lost the manual, unfortunately.
