Place this one as a rumor for now, as I'm not sure where the original source for this news came from. Xboxic has updated their Bomberman Live wiki entry with news on Bomberman Live's achievements and downloadable content. Not to mention, they have stated that the game will be released in June. The downloadable content packs will be available in month increments and include new arenas, characters, pics and themes. The majority of the achievements seem easily achieveable with a little elbow grease with the exception of the 25 pointer "Did I just win... AGAIN?!", which requires a 10 consecutive ranked match wins.

Once again those wacky folks over at the NeoGAF forums have uncovered information about the upcoming title Bomberman. This time it's the following video:

While most XBLA developers don't release full trailers for their titles, we're betting that this was release to cleanse the pallet of the awful tasting Bomberman Zero!

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?
