It does make me wonder whether there are other things to use coins for. Maybe extra battle stages? Hmm...
You can see here, in the Treehouse video, where you can select an antenna after selecting your character. The Konami rep explains it as a way to make your character distinct "if you both want to play as the same character". It does seem strange that there wouldn't be any way to customize other parts, but... there aren't any further option circle-thingies after the antenna one.
I found a slightly higher res version of that artwork in the official Bomberman page on Facebook:
There are also some new screenshots here, and according to a post on their page, they're going with the Five Dastardly Bombers translation. I have no idea how to link Facebook posts though.
I just noticed that each of the bombersiblings (and it applies to the bombervillains too) have different designs for their belts. I'm also really getting into Pretty's redesign, it's pretty last boss.
Thanks for finding the better pic! I didn't think to look there.
And I agree; now that I've gotten past my initial confusion, I really like Pretty's new design. I wonder what kind of personality she'll have this time around.
I'll admit, I didn't care too much for Pretty Bomber's new design at first.
Then she kinda grew on me after awhile. ^_^ Golem needs his static-eye back though, else my entire Bomberman experience is ruined! *Cough*
Pretty Bomber has a cape instead of a scarf for the first time... ever, haha, the scarf was her signature item as an idol. Judging by her pose, I'd say she is going to have an ojou personality. Did anyone else notice the little bird on top of Golem Bomber? Very cute.
Oh also, found another slightly higher res pic, this time on the official Twitter account:
I will keep looking for an actual high res version!
I think this is also the first time a female character has had a cape... Generally, only male leader characters wear them (Hero, Great, Bompire, Elite, etc.).
I totally didn't notice the bird on Golem Bomber before you pointed it out in this bigger picture. That's adorable.
Nice to get a clearer close up of some of the Bomber siblings!
Gosh. Hopefully they're just hiding the Bomber Boss fights, else that'll be kinda disappointing. ;_;
