7 Video Game Character Redesigns That Directly Insulted The Fans
7. Bomberman - Bomberman: Act Zero
Bomberman was first introduced to the world in 1983 for the home computer, spawning a series that has continued for 35 years. The classic Bomberman look of pink shoes, pink gloves and pink bobble on the head was established and a video game icon was born. He was the cute and lovable animal murderer that could.
Now take a look of the Bomberman on the front cover of the 2006 Xbox game Bomberman: Act Zero, and try not to vomit. What is this? It looks like the head designer handed his 14 year-old son a bucket of meth and some pencil crayons. Bomberman was cute, not the deformed, illicit love child of Doomguy and a photocopier.
The redesign insulted fans by totally ignoring over 20 years of the franchises gaming history, dropping the gameplay and look, and even giving it a dark, dystopian futuristic setting. This isn’t Bomberman, this isn’t even f**king Dig-Dug mate.
This is just generic, pandering sh*t.
