XBLA version of Bomberman "out-ed" by Australian ratings board?

Sometimes I almost feel for PR guys trying to keep a wrap on XBLA title announcements....Almost!

In what has been a ridiculous run of early leaks, a ratings board has brought us news of a new title expected to hit the XBLA service somewhat soon. This time the ratings board is from down under, while the game is the long rumored Bomberman.

Rumors of Bomberman on XBLA first surfaced after an interview 1up did with Hudson’s online marketing manager, who hinted at the Saturn version being under evaluation. I for one am ecstatic that the evaluation went well and that we'll soon be able to get our hands on what is arguably the best version of the franchise.

Considering that this title had online multiplayer when it was originally released in 1997 (has it really been a decade already?) is their any doubt that we'll be able to play each other over Live?

You can check out the rating here.

Keep your 40 player
Keep your 40 player Resistance. I'll take 10 player Bomberman any day.
Bomberman!!!

As a purist, I played Bomberman on the TurboGrafx-16. That game sucked so many hours it's unbelievable. If this becomes true, I'm in trouble.
