<\/a>\nfrom Official Nintendo Magazine issue 69 (June 1998)<\/p>\n
B-Daman<\/em> is one of those long-running toy franchises that’s always been a bit of a curiosity to me – partly because chucking marbles around is a hoot, but mostly because it began life as a by-product between Hudson Soft and Takara, making marble-shooting toys explicitly based off of Bomberman’s design. It’s something I’d love to cover for the Totally Bombastic Bomberman Shrine Place sooner or later, but it’d be a heck of a thing to research. There’s a hundred episodes of anime, a rake of manga, a slew of video games, not to mention an immeasurable number of toys and merch out there!<\/p>\n I think this game is from when the franchise stopped being billed as a Bomberman<\/em> product, so I probably won’t be writing about it for the Shrine Place… but darn it, it looks like a daft bunch of fun. It’s got modes for every possible activity you can do with spring-propelled marbles! You can shoot your friends with them! You can play pool with them! You can whack moles with them! You can partake in an on-rails shooter with them! You can’t blast apart your own oesophagus<\/a> with them, but I’m sure you could mod that in if you so desired.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" “\u25cf\u008f Surreal levels \u25cf\u008f Bizarre heroes \u25cf\u008f Tonnes of challenge” from Official Nintendo Magazine issue 69 (June 1998)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[21,37,74],"class_list":["post-964","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-onm-remembered","tag-bomberman","tag-onm","tag-preview"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/964","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=964"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/964\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=964"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=964"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/randomhoohaas.flyingomelette.com\/blog\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=964"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
