My spouse found this video today. The interviewee actually reveals and confirms some more stuff.

Forewarning: my spouse is not a big Bomberman fan and only played a few of the games, but even they were reacting with funny looks at the inane banter between these guys. "I used to play Bomberman 64 all the time" "Oh, well that's good because it's just like Bomberman 64"... girl...

And it only gets worse from there. The interviewee even refers to "Super Nintendo" Bomberman and "Bomberman 3" as if they're different things.

Fortunately you don't have to watch it because I'm listing the interesting stuff here (I apologize if I'm repeating anything):

* Stage goals include defeating all enemies, "unlocking" switches, and dropping things down (onto enemies, or to make new paths) - interactive terrain, just like we were promised with Virtual Bomberman so long ago!
* There are secret and unlock battle maps, not sure what the difference is. Apparently there's no public count for them yet.
* The coins are earned through gameplay. Everything is earned through gameplay.
* Coins be used to unlock "hats" (antennae), maps, and secret characters (!).
* Apparently some play features and icons are borrowed from Bomberman 64.
* The second battle stage shown has a pair of moving platforms surrounding an otherwise inaccessible middle platform. I don't remember if this has ever appeared outside of the Normal Game before in an official game.
