bomberman was about blowing balloons up and getting powerups before the water droplets killed you then you save your code and proceed to next level ,all this in the comfort of your home, alone and offline...it is NOT an always online battle royal/death match against strangers thank you

What. Bomberman aways has been multiplayer, also what are you talking about blowing balloons and water droplets? You are mistaking it for another game.

The biggest problem with Stadia is the potential for latency and lag. Its simply the nature of any streaming system.

Bomberman is an arcade game, arguably a genre which is most ripe with latency and lag problems. On the other hand, bomberman is relatively slow-paced as an arcade game. When bombs are placed down, there's a very long period before they explode: there's a huge amount of tactical depth and strategy.

Its a good game in my experience, but still one that I'd be wary of lag-spikes.
