Bomberman Blitz is a DSiWare game developed by Hudson Soft. It supports up to eight players in local wireless and up to four players with online play. The game features 10 unique arenas, and all of the original power-ups such as faster walking, extra bomb rate and range. Taking advantage of the dual-screen Nintendo DSi, the game is played as upon one large playing field stretched across the two screens. Players can throw bombs on to the playing field from the side of the screens after they are defeated. It was released in October 2009 in Japan and November of the same year in Europe and North America. The game resembles the earlier title Bomberman DS.
