- That one random weird time Bomberman was a platformer. There's a lot of neat oddities to find in this strange experiment of a game.

Such a ripoff
i am going to kick your ass
I honestly can't believe James ripped you off bro :(
THATS MY CHIELDHOOD YOUR TALKING ABOUT
No u
@@NitroRad pay per view boxing match? Everyone else is doing iiiiiiitttt
They sacrificed the frame rate for the best soundtrack in existence
Honestly, that’s a pretty good sacrifice.
@@zigzoinks5493 That is the rule of equivalent exchange
@@Azzy23434 helz ya 😎
Yeah, the N64 lacked a dedicated sound chip, so better sound meant worse performance.
@@Jonen560ti I had NO idea!!! This sacrifice ...totally worth it
I remember there was this Kiosk for N64 games at Target. It had no controller, just some board with flat button stickers for each game to play the trailer. I pressed the one for Bomberman Hero and it was some narrator freaking out yelling "It's Bomberman Hero and he can Jump Now!" That spoke to me since I was wondering why I could not jump in Bomberman 64
Nice to see you here Pizza Man
He couldn't jump because he can't do anything that isn't related to blowing shit up or murdering everything that isn't him. Hell in Bomberman 64 you can blow up what I assume are hotels full of people. Seriously look up the second video on the thestrawhatno's LP of it, it's shockingly morbid.
SEE I TOLD YOU PAN WASN'T A CYBORG!
ayy it's the pizza man
Pan the Xanax Man
I played through this game so many times, and would 100% every level, but this is the first time I'm hearing about the secret on the main menu.
Dude how you been?
Oh hey it's Pikasprey! Love your videos!
THERE A HIDDEN BONUS!!! wow one of my favorite n64 Bomberman game and did everything how did this get over looked......
Same dude i never knew about the bonus stereo levels
Pikasprey Yellow Didn’t expect to see you here! ‘Sup?
Interesting fact, the Easter egg with mashing the start button was made because Hudsonsoft sold a N64 controller that had turbo button functionality. You were supposed to use their controller to find the Bonus option.
69 likes ;)
that sounds painful on a Wii Classic Controller Pro
Really. What hudson controller is that? How much? I remember seeing a bomberman multitap
I wanna say that I love how you open videos. Shedding more info on the topic, company, or just something personal for you is a great way to introduce the topic instead of just throwing it right into the review. I had no idea Atomic Bomberman existed!
Me Nither. It was such a Funny Game due to the Voice Lines. Wonder if that's just me? XD
Really for what console
Fun Fact: This was orignally gonna be a Bonk game. That's why it's the weird different Bomberman game and probably why we never got another one, as it wasn't intended to be Bomberman-related.
metalmario991 bonk dieded and never got another game. imagine if this was a bonk game and bonk became extremely popular
There was a bonk remake on PS2 and Gamecube along with Star soldier and Adventure Island, though only in Japan.

@@DanielAyy oh yeah, you're right
Still kinda bitter that Bomberman wasn't playable in Smash Ultimate
Im bitter waRio is not in Bomberman R.
I wanted that just for the possiblity of this game's music to be in Smash alone x)
I kinda am too. But I’m glad he’s least an assist trophy.
He is playebale in Super Smash Flash 2
Notorius Cait Sith VII Yeah, but I wasn't really a big fan of how he played in SSF2. He kinda sucked lol
"I don't understand why they require more points in the international version"
Blockbuster rentals is the reason why.
Sounds like the game you asked for was Bomberman 64: The Second Attack
Right? I was kind of surprised he didn't lead into a gag of laying it on thick with the sarcasm while a picture of Second Attack's boxart slipped into frame. Maybe he thought it was overdone?
@@CulixIII ironic since barley anyone talks about second attack lol
@@imp8684 That it so seldom gets mentioned also leaves me surprised that he hasn't covered it: it's not all he does, but most of his videos I've bumped into have been for lesser known titles. Here's hoping he gives it a shot someday!
I love The Second Attack so much man, it even has a killer ost
Second attack is soooooo good! Love that game!

Good video Antdude.

@@Mr.Cynical But WAS it nitros rad????!??!??1!!
BUT was it nitros rad???
Y'know, I grew up with this game. Something that really stuck out to me as a kid was the aesthetic of the worlds and the enemies. It seemed like a strange, alien world, with strange, geometrical robotic creatures, and all I had was a cute little dude to get me through them all.
Music aside, I do have to give the game credit for having a good visual design.
This soundtrack is my favorite video game soundtrack of all time!
"Elevator D&B" is what I use to describe the soundtrack.
"Watch for them rollin' rocks, don't want them to knock you into another universe"
Nice.
What did that mean exactly?
@@ethanxpsp2770 pannokek and parralel universes
Do half an A press involved?
I thought it was an AVGN reference. I didn't know how, I just assumed it made sense.
@@ethanxpsp2770
I assumed it was Super Mario 64's hazy maze's level "Watch for falling rocks"
Bomberman 64: The Second Attack is similar to the one you described at the end although its a sequel to Bomberman 64.
I hope you come around to reviewing that. I love that game
Hey, me too. I think it's underrated. The story is so good.
Unafortunately Bomberman games reviews are one of the rareat things
Sound design is very satisfying. I always loved this game, I wish they had made more adventure/platformers for Bomberman.
[Redial Intensifies]
God I loved this game so much. I have a specific childhood memory of playing it in my brother’s room and finding out my mom was going to let my friend sleep over that night AND we could get Pizza Hut. That soundtrack absolutely slaps, too. Hearing it always takes me back to a time when life was a lot more carefree.
This game was litetally the first game I ever got to own in my life. So many memories..
This and Bomberman 64 were my biggest childhood games. Thank you for reviewing more of my favorite mascots. Also Atomic Bomberman was also my favorite game on pc.
19:35 As weird as that method to unlocking a secret seems to us, I actually think it's kinda neat. When you think about how kids play games, mashing start to get to the game quicker, definitely seems like something they would do.
For some reason I just found that part really charming. It's amazing how differently kids and adults can end up playing a game.
"Some playground BS you heard from Greg at Recess."
Hey! Hey! I believed ALL of that shit! Mostly because my older brother was trolling me!
Bomberman is the good.
😂😂😂
I played this game quite a bit but never got very far in it...
Now I want a new Bomberman 3D platformer...
One of my top favorite games. I have a boxed us and jp copy. Reason I got an n64. Found it through CZcams via the ost and I fell in love. I always loved the super Bomberman games( also why I picked up a sfc along with the sailor moon beatem ups) but I never knew he'd have such a big impact on me. I love you Jun Chikiuma.
Jun Chikiuma is
Zillion Taborda she pretty much made the series for me. So good. Check out her more recent "jazz studies" songs. Some of them sound very vaporwave
She also worked in some musics of Sonic and the Secret rings as well. You can support her in her Soundcloud btw.
I'm thankful that you usually manage to upload your videos around the time I eat dinner, gives me something to watch lol
8:59 Way to flex on us James.
AntDude clearly is a Nitro Rad Knock-Off 😁👌
I’ve noticed you use the same emotes in almost all your comments, just an observation
@@FlameOfUdun96 I just really like using this one
Or he is a diet ant man
It's really stupid of you to try and pretend there was ever a rivalry between the two. I enjoy watching the videos of both channels and I'm pretty sure Nitro Rad and AntDude are friends.

19:35 Another Start-button secret? I remember that Bomberman 64 used that same trick to encourage Japanese players to buy the Joycard 64 Turbo controller (conveniently also made by Bomberman's developers). You could unlock extra multiplayer stages by rapidly pressing start at the main menu.
That way, you wouldn't have to kill your fingers mashing, and Hudson makes another sale! Looks like they wanted to further reward buyers in this game too.
TBF, Hudson has done this with basically /every single one/ of their games on Nintendo platforms, since they were the creators/fathers of the turbo controller and all that...
@@thestripedmenace At least it was possible without it. Nintendo forced you to buy a rumble pak if you wanted to complete OoT.
You didn't need a rumble pack to complete OoT.
My first 3D platformer and my absolute favorite, glad to see someone talking about it.
Loved the music on this game. Remembered playing this back in the late 90s as a kid.
Even tho it has it's flaws it looks like one of those games ya just play to have fun and not care about anything else.
One of my favorite games on the N64
bomberman second attack was my favorite game as kid. It was like the Sonic Adventure 2 for kids a little younger than me, a game that has a cartoon art style but has a plot with death, lore and other more complex elements. Made you feel like a "big kid"
I always look forward to your videos. They always make my day.
I’m sure he appreciates the sentiment, Speedwagon
Wow, a starman comment with little likes? Better state how much of a snowflake i ak for noticing this
It's so weird seeing you everywhere man, but it's cool to see that I'm not the only one who's day is made by these videos
I've never known clock tower Lisa or stuff like that so I enjoyed finding out about something new, and also realized I missed a lot from not playing resident evil cause the controls were fucked for me on the 64
Yes
"Gotta watch for them rolling rocks! don't want them to send you into another universe"
ok where's TJ """"""""""Henry"""""""""" Yochi
You blew my mind with that start button mashing to unlock the bonus feature in the menu, I thought I had it 100%!
It's pretty neat to still find secrets in old games after so many years, I've had this game 15 years with me and never heard about that! Thanks!
My personal favorite game of all time is Bomberman 64, this one is also up there for me though. The soundtracks on both of the games are each amazing in their own right. Very nostalgic review for me Nitro I'm really proud of how far you've come since I started watching you and I'm looking forward to all the hard work you're putting in. Keep up the fantastic work dude, you're already a legend in my eyes.
We all know the True Rival to Nitrorad is the only other rad. "Alpharad"
A Bomberman platformer? Check out Pocket Bomberman for the Game Boy Color (although it plays more like a conventional Bomberman game but with gravity).
I like how it has a side game where you can't stop jumping and just have to climb as high as you can.
@@BagOfMagicFood yeah, that mode was pretty cool but hard to master.
I rented this game as a kid once and LOVED it. I actually remember how good the music was to this day, and while most of the on-rails segments didn't make much impact on me, I remember playing that helicopter air-bombing mission over and over and over again. But for the life of me, I could never remember the name of this game so thanks for bringing back all the memories!
I would praise this game quite a bit more than you did, Nitro.
The sound effects are top-notch and unique, and the environments have great variety. The levels are pretty short but there are a LOT of them (way more than other 3D platformers that have levels). This makes the game very different from the open-area collectathons that dominated the world of 3D platformers the moment 3D became viable.
In that sense, this game has a lot in common with 2D platformers -- it's less about exploration and more about linear platforming skill. And yet it uses the 3rd dimension just enough to provide some exploration and hidden thing, and the third axis works great for interesting visuals and for meaningful enemy placement. In this way, it's much like Super Mario 3D World, but a few generations earlier.
Because of the fixed camera and the weird bunch of stages, the game just feels eerie to me. You often end up inside weird techno buildings or jumping around strange indoor duct-systems suspended over an abyss. It makes you wonder who built these, and who uses them? I mean really, it's completely unique. I don't know a game that built such a mysterious vibe just because of its platform-driven level design.
And these strange aesthetics in every level integrate cleverly into the gameplay so often. This stage is all about its elevator system, this stage is all about moving into the z-axis, this stage is about teleporters, etc. And don't forget the mirror stage -- that one is brilliant.
As for 100%ing the game -- I think it was done terrifically. The levels really are short, so if you just want to beat the game, it's a pretty simple and fun experience that a kid could probably pull off. But if you want to up the difficulty, you try to collect everything in every level. And this would be annoying in so many other games, but again, the levels here are short and linear. So there's really not much to it; it's not super difficult, nor is it a tedious game of hide-and-seek. For an experienced gamer, it's a perfectly suitable challenge, and it frankly redeems the game. Without this design, it wouldn't hold my attention long enough. I would just beat and shove it under the rug.
But man, no matter what you think of the gameplay, the sound effect for picking up crystals -- mmm! Man, it's just so glassy and crunchy. It's delicious. This game's sound design is just like no other.
So I've got to give this game the ultimate praise: It's not the greatest game ever. It's not the masterpiece that aspiring designers should bow down to. But it's exactly what a video game should be: It's excellent fun, it's imaginative, it has an appropriate challenge for everyone, and it uses the audio-visual and player-controlled nature of the medium to the fullest. And it does it all on its own terms. Again, it might not be on the Mt. Rushmore of gaming, but it's good AND unique; if you want to play a game like Bomberman Hero, you pretty much have only one option -- play Bomberman Hero.
ah wow, you reviewed one of my childhood games, Bomberman Hero is actually my first game ever before I play a few others, the Bomberman games I still have to this day is Hero, Bomberman The Second Attack 64 which has the best Multiplayer in my opinion, Pocket Bomberman GB which is technically another platform game so Hero isn't the only one out of all, Bomberman Max GBC, and Bomberman Max 2 GBA (both of them "bomberman Blue version", yeah sorta like Pokemon in a way but ok games) it nice to a CZcamsrs like you who reviews games I actually have. NICE!
on the topic on Bomberman Hero, the Secret I only knew was the secret final boss in the end, I never knew about the other secret this game have specially the where you have rapidly press start so many time for that secret to show, and yeah I don't blame you for using a "Game Shark" that just asking for so much out of a player and I think I remember that when you collect a certain amount of diamonds your health increase, I don't know if that happen to you in your playthrough
Bomberman 64: The Second Attack is my favorite game of all time. It's hard to get an actual copy of, but I'd say it's super worth playing.
It was amazing. Wish the world realized it existed, but it seems to have been lost to time.
@@harmonixerraze Just emulate the game
Oh I still own a copy. I just meant that they haven't tried to make another like it since then. Basically the developers just stick to the normal formula for Bomberman now.
@@deprecated8036 Utterly no shame in emulating it. It's prohibitively expensive to buy these days.
This soundtrack hits me in the feels so, so hard. This was one of three games my friend with an N64 had, & we beat it over and over and over. Love it.
Oddly enough this was the first Bomberman game I've ever played. Nice to see people remember it even if somewhat different.
Always was curious about this one. I saw it in Nintendo Power and wanted to try it because I enjoyed Bomberman 64, but never got it.
This was my first exposure to Bomberman, so I was confused when I tried another more typical bomberman. I thought the entire series was going to be like this! I wouldn't mind them trying a platformer again sometime!
I grew up with the three Bomberman titles in the N64. I never even knew it was a whole series before then when I was a kid. I'd be interested into looking for more games from the past.
I'm really impressed you knew about the three bonus levels for the start-mashing. I half wondered if I needed to make a cheeky comment about you missing that after watching, but nope! You really do your research, haha.

I wanna make Bubsy an awesome franchise. I feel like this character has far too many possibilities not to neglect.

Love this game!
Not a complaint but i couldn't comprehend most your words throughout the video, due to the amazing background music.
It's always interesting to see you cover again. You go into such detail and give the game a fair shot rather than ramble at a few levels and call it a day. It's truly quality work and it shows. Great work!
oh hey, just got the Watch out for Rolling Rocks joke...
Oh boy.
Let's listen to Redial, for 12 different stages!!!
*not that theres any thing wrong with that :)*
I recall playing a bomberman game on the GBA that was some sort of weird blend of legend of zelda, pokemon and other top-down adventure games. I have very fond memories of it to this day, I believe it was called 'Bomberman Tournament' a good example of doing something interesting with a franchise by changing it's style completely. This was still 2D top-down though, which honestly really still cemented it as an actual bomberman-game.
Had some really catchy music too, and plenty to explore.
Bomberman Hero was supposed to be a Bonk game and they changed it for marketing reasons. This explains why the game is so different and random in relationship to the other games. And explain all the weird "robot attachments" too. It's a quirky and clunky game but I still love it. Great video as always.
You've used this game's music so many time in your reviews I was wondering when you where going to talk about the game itself! XD
I much prefer the first Bomberman 64 and the Second Attack. For some reason, I could never get into Hero, but that music is too good.
I got to say, your videos REALLY do represant the quality section of youtube! Thank you for all that great content!!!
really appreciate what...had to be you slapping your own face and recording the sound just for that youtube comment bit. That's dedication.
Who cares if the Bomberman lore is confusing, I just wanna blow stuff up!
There is no Bomberman canon
@@ralphjeremy6590 there really is tho
Bomberman lore is confusing af considering the franchise got rebooted like 5 times...
What I think is REALLY weird is that Bomberman Jetters is based on a Bomberman anime of the same name that NEVER got dubbed (Makes me wonder if they localized the game to try and gauge interest in bringing the anime outside of Japan but scrapped it for reasons)
bomberman hero is the only bomberman ive played and i LOVE IT plus the soundtrack is fireeeee
I really love the opening theme to NitroRad’s vids.
That music & the voice that says the channel name..
I hope you never change it
At age 6 this was my first Bomberman game. I loved this game back then (2003) even though I could only go through like the first couple of worlds or so. This vid brought me back to that age a little bit. Great vid!
12:24 is the funniest moment of the video in my opinion. 😂
Do you smell that it's nostalgia..... the sweet aroma of nostalgia....😌
Just recently started watching your reviews and you instantly became my favourite. Love your exposition in all your reviews and personally, hearing your opinion on so many childhood favourites (Bomberman Hero, Chameleon Twist, Sonic Adventure etc) you seriously seem like a rad dude haha (pun intended of course). Keep up the amazing work man! Cheers from Ontario!
Didnt know there was this many secrets in the game ! Kinda cool
The Bomberman game everyone forgets .
I never forgot you SonOfABitch.
(sorry)
Not that obscure of a game tbh. I played this but not Bomberman 64. People don't even know Second Attack exists as evidenced by it's GDQ run and the donation messages.
Name me a Bomberman game that's not underrated/obscure.
This is one of the only well known ones.
And NOT cause it's considered really bad like Act Zero.
There is one thing you didn't cover or didn't knew, if you collect 200 gems, you get another hit point, you can get a maximum of 8 but it is not that great since you lose that when you turn off the game
Still better than the new Triple jump in Mario 64 after getting all stars. That one was just an useless downgrade
Been watching your vids for a while and I gotta say, it's hard nowadays to find someone that gives games a fair shot.
Keep it up.
Hecckk yea, a new Nitrorad always brightens my week. c:
Would you ever cover Bomberman Jetters for the gamecube?
I don't think so... Sadly

Looking forward to the classic, bomberman zero on Xbox. Everybody's favourite...
@singular on1 Well, i'm working on an SMT2 video so eventually!

I LOVED Bomberman 64, and its sequel The Second Attack! ... they were amazing games IMO
When this game came out I was a six year old. I got it and became obsessed with this version of bomberman gameplay.
I remember bomberman hero such a underrated classic in my book
Can you review
Rabbid go home

There all wii games but just the one i think are highlights of that consoles (excluding first parties or games im not aware of)
I was really happy to see another Nitro Rad episode in my sub feed. Keep up the good work, Nitro Rad
This was my first and only experience with bomberman, I loved this game as a kid
What about Bomerman 64: the Second Attack?
12:27 OK, That was actually pretty Funny! XD
I was waiting for this episode man!❤
I really love this game, the nostalgia hits me hard when i play this
I was watching the Nitro Rad episodes on the Ty Trilogy when this new episode popped up! Didn't even know that this was uploaded today!
What I (along with most other people) also didn't know that Bomberman Hero was intended to be a Bonk game. That's how we got this weird experimental Bomberman game!
Oh, and also, the princess in this game kinda looks like Princess Daisy during her N64 days... the fact that Hudson also developed Mario Party 3 helps this fact.
