Yeah but Bomberman is a franchise that has existed for decades and there are countless clones on it on the internet. It's a timeless concept. Haven't played Knack btw, can't comment on that. 

What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? The franchise might be decades old, but that doesn't mean it's kept with the times, is still relevant today, and is a interesting purchase for your average gamer. See Sonic the Hedgehog for another series that has devolved into absolute drivel in recent times (although Sonic Mania might actually change that). But just because Sonic 2 was absolutely incredible does not mean Sonic Boom was a great game, that people wanted to play.

No need to get so defensive. As I said, Bomberman is a timeless concept. It's an arcade game, it doesn't get better with better graphics. But no need to argue over it, my original response to your post was meant in a humorous way. If you think the franchise didn't age well that's fine of course, we agree to disagree then.
