As I hinted in my introduction thread, I got some crazy modification ideas and I'll share them with you now. I got this idea about a year ago and at that point I planned to use a Super Famicom, but I've now decided to use the PC Engine Duo R I've just bought.
Here's an old concept I drew back then (not up to date):
What you see here is a large plastic Bomberman case. The base he's standing on will hold the PCE and some arcade buttons. The arcade stick itself seems to be missing, but it isn't. It has been disguised as Bomberman's right arm. What else is there? His head is actually a monitor. A small screen will take up the face space. I'll store an image of his face on a HuCard for when I simply want Bomberman to be himself.
Is this madness possible? Yes! I'm sadly not very capable myself, but I've been in touch with both modders and 3D-modelers and I've been given reasonable estimates of what all of this is going to cost. At least I'll be able to take credit for the idea and coordination.
What has happened so far? I've mostly been planning and discussing different options and so on, but we're almost ready to go. I'll keep you updated. Also feel free to come with feedback or questions.
