Wow. A gaming blog gets it's mascot in an XBLA game. Talk about crazy. I remember hitting up Destructoid about a month after they launched, back when Fronz and Niero were pretty much doing it alone. Of course they're added quite a few writers and thousands more readers and have turned into the industry player we know and love today.

The new pack will hit Sept. 26th and cost 250 points. Also included in the pack is:

  • Ten New Characters – In addition to Destructoid, other new characters include “Bomberella” the cavewoman and “El Bombito” the matador, resulting in countless new ways for players to customize their in-game Bomberman.

  • Two Additional Levels – New arenas include “Medieval Times,” a level in which bombs and sorcery collide and that allows players to select any gimmick they want, and “Full Tilt,” a level set at a racetrack which features speed circles that dictate how fast players move.

  • One New Game Mode – “Bomb Shelters” will allow players to hide from explosions in a small, fireproof building.

  • Two New Leaderboards – Dominate the competition on two new ranking systems on the Xbox LIVE® network. The new leaderboards will track performance on both a weekly and an all-time basis for the speed circle gimmicks on the new “Full Tilt” map.

Niero, congratulations my friend, the Robot is now immortal.

Looks fantastic and its great that some publishers are really focusing their attention on the enthusiast press as well as attempting to crack into mainstream media.

Dtoid has always been a personal fave of everyone here, and from the people we've met on their staff; it couldn't have happened to a better group of people.

Also, I can't think of another blog that has a mascot. LOL.

Yeah, it owns - never going back to the pirate Bomberman after this.

I would be torn if there ever was a BBPS Bomberman...I love both of you.

TheBBPS mascot might as well the little drum face, since that Taiko DS ad has been there for ages. =)
