I recently made a few ebay purchases. I now have each installment of the Bomberman franchise for SNES/SFC (no duplicates).



One of these purchases was Bomberman B-Daman, of which there has been, to my knowledge, limited info. So, I extensively photographed and scanned the contents.



Within the zip, I've included several photographs of the "Limited B-Daman" and the box, and scans of the manual, B-Daman figurine instructions, and advertisements (I don't remember having scanned any of those before, so why not).

Interestingly, the B-Daman's head seems to be filled with a kind of metallic shimmering paper, to give it a bit of a shiny look.

Also, because I just know that you've all been losing sleep for years, wondering who the professor guy and the yellow-bandana-guy from the game are, the manual reveals these things. The bandana guy is Metsuseji, the "Master Advice King" (マスター攻略王メツセージ), and the professor is Dr. Tamano, head of the All-Japan B-Daman Association research institution (JBA研究所所長Dr.多摩野). Surprisingly, Metsuseji is represented by multiple photographs of an actual person, though I don't know anything about the character.

I have yet to fully transcribe/OCR and translate the text, but you can look at all of the pretty pictures by downloading the zip file here.

The other two things that I bought were Super Bomberman - Panic Bomber W, which has already been scanned, and Bomberman Panic Bomber for the Turbo Duo:



It's still factory sealed, though, so I'm not sure if I want to open it... Although the seller had multiple factory-sealed copies, and it's not like I'm going to sell it, so I might do it anyway. I kind of want to read the manual.

EDIT: I have the manual transcribed, but as I'm working on translating it, I've noticed some errors in my transcription, so I'm not posting it yet.
