The game was re-released for the Virtual Console, with full multiplayer capability intact, for Wii on November 21, 2006 in North America, December 8, 2006 in Europe, and July 6, 2007 in Australia.

Black Bomberman has stolen seven chips from the pan-galactic bureau's mother computer and scattered them across several planets of the Magellan solar system.

It is up to the ace detective Bomber Cop, aka White Bomberman, to recover them.

The player controls Bomberman by moving him around block filled mazes and laying down bombs.

The Virtual Console version of the game supports only four players using Wii Remotes.

The five-player mode can be activated by holding the R button on an attached GameCube controller while starting the game from the Wii menu.
