Super Bomberman R Hits One Million Worldwide Sales, Konami Celebrates With Bungee Jump

Some would wish Konami would go bungee jump without a cord.

Ha! Good on them!

I traded in Bomberman to get another game, lol.

So there may be one million copies sold, but at least one million and one people have played it. 😉

it's a funny video, but i still hate konami

So, Konami.....
Would you PLEASE to release Dance Dance Revolution A for Nintendo Switch ?
Because Dance Dance Revolution will celebrate its 20th Anniversary.

I love Bomberman games espacially on the PCengine and Saturn but this one on the Switch is just horrible.

I really don't get how it is possible to make a bomberman that ugly.
No way I'd give even 1 cent for that thingy...

I miss the old Konami games.

@Knuckles-Fajita many would. That's what fans are for.

@Zidentia
I Really Really MISS Old School Dance Dance Revolution, with DanceMania songs as their licensed songs and Naoki Maeda as DDR Sound Director + DDR artist.

1 million regrets.

Very cool! I would love to see Mario do something like this. I think if the game hits 2 million Bomberman needs to a halo jump

Cool.
Hope Konami wheels out compilations of their old franchises, not to mention new games in the series. If Bomberman can still sell a million copies, I'm sure Castlevania, Contra, Metal Gear, or Silent Hill could also.

I can't imagine it to be very comfortable bungee jumping in a suit like that.
.........
Then again I can't imagine bungee jumping to be very comfortable whatsoever.

They could've just... I dunno... baked a cake?

They kidnapped Kojima, dressed him up as Bomberman and throw him into the abyss.

The first switch game I traded in. Well done Konami.

Good news for them. We occasionally play this from time to time and have fun with it. Hopefully Konami can continue garnering some good will by resurrecting other long dormant franchises.

@Knuckles-Fajita I don't like what Konami is doing but wishing ill on others is wrong. Have you forgotten the Golden Rule ""Do unto others as you would have them do unto you." Comments like yours and @Nincompoop goes to show how low the gaming community is right now.

Now THAT'S a Japanese dive bomber, hey-yooo!

@Pod Awww, beat me to it!

And still is an assisti trophy in smash ultimate

@Nincompoop
Blablabla, Yadayadayada....
Keep talking NONSENSE...

@1UP_MARIO same, while they have continued to add content it was pretty barren at the beginning.

@1UP_MARIO The ONLY Switch game I’ve traded in!

@1UP_MARIO
"The first switch game I traded in. Well done Konami."

The Second Switch game i bought and i still keep it.

@Anti-Matter that’s great. I’m glad some are enjoying it

Terrible

@Captain_Gonru
"Or do you think they try to emulate what Just Dance does, and only use the Joycons?"

Remember, Smash Brosh Ultimate can accept Gamecube controller for Switch, so i think DDR Mat for Switch can either has an USB slot / Gamecube slot.

Btw, do you live in USA ? DDR machines are still exist on Arcade Centre. Even Dance Dance Revolution A by Konami.

The game definitely deserves it! I just wish it included features from Saturn Bomberman like an offline league mode that allowed players to select the number of rounds, stages they'd compete in for awards at the end like Mad Bomber, B-point King, and of course the series winner.

That's really the only missing ingredient imo.

Good. Hopefully this means more Bomberman in the future.

The things folks have to do to pay the bills... they would have had to push me.

@Captain_Gonru I think in Japan and Asia in general a DDR mat would sell well. But like the taiko drum controller it would need to be import only in the States unless they pushed it with creative marketing to whomever is still buying Just Dance in 2018.

@LaytonPuzzle27 Hey.

I never said I wanted them to go jump. I said some would.

Some aint me.

@Cobalt It wasn't that bad, but what was bad was releasing an unfinished game with some critical bugs that hampered the ability to even play the game on physical media. I stupidly bought it to find that boss fights were ultimately a total failure of delayed input causing them to be more or less dumb luck to impossible. They did fix the bug and acknowledge it, but any physical copy was broken out of the box and they never did update the copies they continue to push out. I dumped the game like others in this thread have for stuff that worked right and therefore were actually fun to play.

@Knuckles-Fajita I sorry I though your one those type of people.

Yes, indeed, i do have Super Bomberman R for the Switch, I got it on launch day, 😂🤣🤪

The guy wearing the suit was actually one of their top developers from the 8 bit days. He’s just been promoted out of privy duty to one of the less degrading positions at Konami.

They just lock them in a room, cage them up with rats and eventually they learn to love pachinko.

@AlternateButtons
"Forget that! Gimme a port of Dance Dance Resolution: Mario Mix! The DDR we ALL need! How can you say no to Waluigi breaking it down??"

Hah !
DDR Mario Mix was TOO Easy for me.
The hardest song on DDR Mario Mix was Lv 12 in DDR X scale.
You just NEVER knew what it looks like DDR songs after DDR X2 Arcade.
Take a look these DDR Songs (Level 19), the Real NIGHTMARE

Oh, EGOISM 440 on Challenge in my opinion is Clearly Level 20 !

I like Super Bomberman R...I'm just mystified at some of the design decisions, like locking the stages behind the game's currency. Past Bomberman games just let you play them out of the gate.

I also missed not being able to customize items like in past games. And where are Line Bombs? Dangerous Bombs? Too OP? Items like those made the game chaotic but fun.

I really like Bomberman and have at least 5 different BM games in my collection. Konami's debut Bomberman after the Hudson Soft takeover, Super Bomberman R on Switch is a mediocre one. It doesn't have the beautiful design and graphics of the 16-Bit games, and it doesn't have the great music of the 64-Bit games. And instead of Bomberman-costume characters they should have added the original characters instead (maybe a personal issue with how Ebisumaru and other characters look). SBMR is just as uninspired as the last one we got (Bomberman Blast for WiiWare), but that one was 10 instead of 50 bucks. This could have been Bomberman's chance to be a playabale character in Smash, but Konami didn't put enough soul into its latest big Bomberman game. Just like hardcore Bomberman fans Sakurai probably didn't like it.

@SKTTR
Actually, i prefer Bomberman during PS2 & NDS era. Still by Hudson Soft, Still Original, NOT Contaminated by Rated 18+ games characters from Konami on Super Bomberman R.

@Anti-Matter

I sold Bomberman for DS, the one published by Ubisoft. It had the worst Bomberman character design imo.

@SKTTR Understandable, but it at least had more of that "Bomberman" gameplay than R did.

Then again, I did kind of liked the "streamlined" approach Konami took with R and I liked the game (even at launch).

@SKTTR
Custom Battler Bomberman NDS is one of my favorite Bomberman on NDS.
I play the Japanese version instead of PAL version due to better title.

The worst £50 I ever spent lol game was awful

@BensonUii I dont care if people approve of what I say or not.

Castlevania, Gradius, Contra / Probotector; Konami holds the rights to so many of the great gaming IP’s of old. And do nothing worthwhile with them.

May see them thrown off a bridge though it seems.

Oh how I’d shave my own nether-regions in public if it’ll somehow make a Gradius VI appear.

... Mystical ninja starring Goemon..... Come one that was one of my favorites.

Accurate representation of how Konami treats its IPs.

IMO they could have sold way more units with a lower price, at least digitally; $40 is too much for me for the type of game. At $20 for example, I would have impulse-bought just because of the cool logo.

Bought it other week at Argos at right pricing (£25.99). And it's fantastic. There's a huge download when you first put in the game, but the extra content is awesome. Fully understand it's bad to release a shoddy game, but at least the improvements are substantial. Even if it is to allow a better response when latterly released on other systems - see also No Man's Sky.

I had a lot of fun playing this in local co-op when I was staying at my friend's house recently. If it drops to £15 in the eshop, I'll pick it up...
