Hudson Soft's iconic mascot Bomberman has had a rough transition to 3D gaming, with his adventures on the N64 being no exception to that statement. Bomberman 64 sold badly, but Hudson followed through with a sequel anyway, after the spin-off Bomberman Hero. It's arguable both the bad selling nature of the first and the saturation of Bomberman titles were what caused a severe lack of interest in Bomberman 64: The Second Attack. Japanese copies seem to retail at £25, while a North American version will equate to roughly £55 depending on the exact source. The rarity of the game can also be attributed to the relatively unknown publisher of Vatical Entertainment, there's little to no trace of the company's history on the internet. Mediocre reviews and critical reception of the first game also didn't help the sequel, as fans had started to lose interest in Bomberman by that point. Whether it's worth its price tag or not, Bomberman 64: The Second Attack is a rare sequel that's rather hard to obtain.
