Ka-Blooey
Also known as: Bombuzal (JP/EU) Developer: Kemco Publisher: Kemco Platform: SNES Released in JP: December 1, 1990 Released in US: August 1992 Released in EU: July 28, 2021 (Nintendo Switch Online) Released in AU: July 28, 2021 (Nintendo Switch Online) This game has regional differences.

Ka-Blooey is a port of the cleverly explosive computer game Bombuzal.
This port has been heavily criticized for having to play in an awkward isometric view instead of the clear bird's eye view.

Except in the Japanese version. Have fun America.

Regional Differences

Japan	US

The copyright info was updated and moved upwards to add "LICENSED BY NINTENDO." at the bottom.

The title screen was redrawn to look better.

Japan	US

The logo at the top was changed.

The 2D mode was, for whatever reason, removed in the American version and only includes the option to view the stage in 2D when pausing with Select or Start.
As a result, the mode selection has been removed here.
You can also switch between the bird's eye view and the isometric view during the game by pressing Select in the Japanese version.

Strangely enough, the description of the US version in Nintendo Switch Online play service still mentions the possibility of changing the view.
