Unlike the primary Mario Party
titles where the player(s) explore a Monopoly-style board, Bomberman Land Touch! has the player exploring an overworld, freely exploring as much of the area as has been unlocked. In this mode, the only control used is touch control - both for the overworld and for the mini-games. The overworld requires the touch screen to move Bomberman and to tap on icons to initiate an event. The touch screen is used for most mini-games, although in a handful of mini-games, the microphone is used as well. These mini-games can be played in Attraction mode either with one player, one player and 1-9 computer players, or 1-10 human players. The multiplayer mode can be played online or locally (which can be done with a minimum of two Nintendo DS consoles and one copy of Bomberman Land Touch!).
sequel to Bomberman Land Touch! also on the Nintendo DS. Like its predecessor, it is a spin off of the main Bomberman series, in that the game focuses on mini-games revolving around the Bomberman series, rather than the usual classic Bomberman gameplay. It is the 4th Bomberman title on the DS, and is the 3rd to use the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection
. Using both the "Bomberman Battle Pack" and "Bomberman Battle Pack 2" abilities, it can connect to any Bomberman game for local wireless challenges and exciting WiFi battles.
In the beginning of the game's story mode, Cheerful White (Bomberman) and his friends are traveling by boat towards Bom-Bom Kingdom, a theme park owned by a magician known as Star Bomber. Originally, Bomberman's friend Giant Gold planned to take Cute Pink to the island for a date, but in the end, Cheerful White and his friends came along as well. The story mode follows Cheerful White as he explores the Bom-Bom Kingdom theme park, and takes part in its attractions.
