Then again, they kind of needed to reboot the series after the original NES game, because otherwise they wouldn't have had a main character - Bomberman loses his signature ability when he becomes Lode Runner. |
Not really, do you figure he was the only one of his kind? The only bomb manufactoring robot?
Bomberboy and Bomberking are in all likelihood direct sequels to the original Bomberman. In Bomberboy you're a different White Bomber that's going around all factories in which his brethren are held in slavery and freeing them.
Presumably at this point Bombermen become champions for peace, but unfortunately the planet's resources become insufficient and they accept to turn themselves off until a solution is found. This would be Altile, and that's where Bomberking begins.
It was only with the PCE Bomberman that the series was rebooted (that is, assuming we didn't just take another huge leap into the future and Altile became Planet Bomber). |
