20 Craziest Moments In Gaming In 2025
11. Snake Versus... Bomberman? - Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater
Due to Snake Eater's lasting legacy on the Metal Gear Solid franchise, the gaming community was hoping the remake would capture the spirit of the original.
To ensure MGS Delta pleased the masses, Konami didn't just enhance the graphics and modernise the mechanics, but brought back every aspect of the classic Snake Eater. This includes a mini-game that's been absent from every re-release, involving Snake hunting down the Apes from Ape Escape.
However, owners of the Xbox SeriesX/S port got a different experience, since the mini-game didn't have Snake fighting the loveable chimps, but the titular character from Bomberman.
Similar to Hudson Soft's iconic series, the mini-game has Snake use bombs that explode in a cross shape on the Bombers until he's the last man standing. Seeing Bomberman and his pals zooming around and panicking in their typical cartoony style parallels delightfully with Snake's stoic manner. It's also funny to hear Mei Ling defend the Bombermen's obsession with combustible weapons, purely because they're cute.
Even though the developers could've half-assed it, the mini-game is more enjoyable than Bomberman has been in a long time.
