Neo Bomberman[b] is an action-maze arcade video game developed by Produce! and published by Hudson Soft for the Neo Geo MVS on May 1, 1997.[2][3][4] It is one of two games in the Bomberman franchise that was released for the Neo Geo platform, the first being Panic Bomber, and the only one to retain its traditional top-down gameplay.[5] It was released for the Neo Geo MVS (arcade) and has not received a home console release to date. It was the last original Bomberman title to be released for arcades until Konami's Bombergirl in 2018.[6]
In Neo Bomberman, the plot revolves around White Bomberman and Black Bomberman along with many other combatants gathering together for the Bomberman Tournament before Professor Bagura appears in a mobile fortress to spoil the tournament and kidnaps the combatants by putting them into cages and as a result, both White and Black Bomberman set out to rescue their friends and stop Bagura alongside Atomic Bomber, a new creation under his command. The game bears similarity with Super Bomberman 4 for Super Nintendo Entertainment System, as it was developed by most of the same team.
