HAY GUYS, are you sick of me posting all my crap here yet?
Anyway, uh. Yeah. Title's pretty self-explanatory - you'll want to go over to the LJ for more information. Currently, all we have up is two pages from the Bomberman 64 4koma, but we're definitely planning to finish the entire dang thing. (How long that'll actually take is a different story...)
In addition, to comment on this thread, I do actually have a copy of the 4koma that Razon linked. I also have the second volume in that series, along with a 6-volume set of more Super Bomberman 4komas (all eight of these are done by the same artist - the 6-volume one is from a different publisher, I think), a Super Bomberman 2 4koma anthology, a Super Bomberman 4 4koma anthology, and a tankoubon of the BMJ comic that was briefly serialized in CoroCoro Monthly in Japan. I also have about 14 volumes total of Bakugaiden manga, eight of which are technically screenshots from the anime set into a manga format. I got all of these in a single lot off Yahoo!Japan, and it didn't come cheap: the actual lot itself was about $50, but when you combined that with intermediary service fees and shipping from Japan to USA, I must have paid over $160 in total. (Shipping was $85 - contrast that with what I paid for the auction itself + internal shipping + intermediary fees, which was about $82.) I've been eyeing what looks like a second volume of Bomberman 64 4komas, but the auction for it that was still up the last time I checked was selling that single volume for about $50, and alas, I am (obviously) quite broke now.
Before anyone asks, I did some Googling and some Japanese Wiki'ing, and it does not seem like there were any 4komas done for Bomberman Hero or The Second Attack, or for any of the subsequent Bomberman games. There might've been some for some of the Japanese-only Bomberman Land game, but my memory's fuzzy and I may have been reading things wrong.
...anyway, uh, what was I talking about? Right. Bomberman 64 4koma translations by myself and Sakaki. Keep an eye on the LJ.
EDIT 02/24/2015: Or rather, the Tumblr. We've moved shop over there to make sharing and posting a little easier. There's very little up at the moment, though, since we're primarily focusing on the Golden Sun 4-komas for the moment.
EDIT 05/05/2015: Happy Cinco de Mayo, everyone! The Bombermanga Tumblr is officially live. We'll be posting 4-koma scanslations once a day on Tuesdays and Thursdays. The index for those strips are here in case anyone doesn't have a Tumblr (although we don't update the index as we post the strips). Fanart translations go up whenever we feel like it.

You're kidding right? This is the best!
The last one with Aka was definitely the most fun... but I wonder if the authors of these realized that a Bomberman made of Bombs actually did exist at one point.

I really like that Bomberman song (the regular one, not the rap version), I wonder if it's possible to sing it over the good ol' BMan theme song (or maybe a track from 64?)
On a side note, I see that the rap version is not just in a different style but conveys a different meaning in some cases (in particular the "spoken" part in Sirius' song, in one version it's Sirius talking in the other it's Bomberman).
Should I understand that you yourself made up one of the two, for fun?
