Working title ボンバーマン / Bomberman
	Console Nintendo 3DS Genre Adventure? Players 1 to 4 (battle) 1 to 8 (online battle) Developer Hudson Publisher n/a Releases n/a

Announced around October 2010, it wasn't until around January 2011 that some light was shed on the title.

The single-player mode was to be a 3D adventure game, presuambly in the vein of Baku Bomberman; exploration and puzzle solving would be key, and Bomberman would gain access to special bombs along the way.
The multi-player mode boasted up to 8 players via online play, and a poorly explained "Life System" that would apparently allow your Bombermen to survive attacks. The players are depicted in various skins and outfits in the screenshots

A mere four screenshots were distributed, as well as a promotional image on Nintendo Japan's site (pictured right). Only a slim six seconds of gameplay footage were ever shown, in the Nintendo 3DS software lineup.

The game was given an Autumn 2011 release date, but after Hudson Soft were bought out by Konami in February 2011, this game and all other Hudson projects for the 3DS were cancelled. There were unsourced rumours around 2012 that claimed the projects were still in development, but nothing terribly convincing has come of it.
