Alright so Hudson did warn us they would go for something "different" with the Xbox 360 version of their Bomberman franchise. But really... This? And this! What the hell!?

Bomberman Act: Zero will heavily focus on Xbox Live battles. There will be two different rules, the "standard bomberman" mode and a most peculiar "first person bommer" mode. It is not a typo, since the katakana confirms the pronunciation. This mode apparently mixes Bomberman with FPS-style deathmatches, although it doesn't look like the game is played with an actual first person view. Head-scratching, to say the least. On a related note, Hudson recently updated their Tengai Makyou Ziria page.

[edit] Microsoft notices the game, changes its top guy in Japan.
