>>8451627Yeah it was first marketed as a Bomberman toy. Marbles looked like bombs I suppose.
>>8451653>>8451855The problem with 90s B-daman, Bakugaiden and some of Super B-daman was that they used Bomberman's likeness and name under license from Hudson Soft. Hudson Soft died and got absorbed by Konami so the Bomberman license is now in a IP limbo hell and TakaraTomy isn't the sort to go out of their way to acquire old licenses. Battle B-daman was their way of divorcing the B-daman IP completely from Bomberman.
