Konami Teases "More" Bomberman On 6th Anniversary Of Super Bomberman R

My first and for a long time only Bomberman game was Bomberman 64, so I was very confused later when I discovered that they're usually very different from that. Though had a lot of fun with the Bomberman Land Touch games on DS and playing the minigames with my sister

@TopazLink I would love a revisit to the heavy spatial-puzzle sort of game that Bomberman 64 was. I am one of the few guides that exist on that game, and even I didn't get 'everything' back in the day. Certainly a trip, though I can't claim based on memory alone if it was a "good" game or just a "unique" one.

Wait the battle 64 mode is returning?!? Heck yeah! I enjoyed bomberman R online

Question : Do you have any fond memories of Super Bomberman R on the Switch, or were you too busy with Zelda at launch?

Me : I sold both of Super Bomberman R and botw two years ago.
And why the hell I care with zelda stuffs ?
Where is Dance Dance Revolution for Switch / PS5 ?

Bomberman 64 was amazing and bomberman tournament got the best story mode ever. I would like to see a cool bomberman adventure agan, I feel like the classic vs should be a battle mode in a adventure game

@TobiasAmaranth I never actually completed Bomberman 64, game was fun though, I loved the music as well as playing multiplayer battles with my brother and sisters, and being able to customise your multiplayer character with the parts you found in the story mode was really cool too!

Honestly I'm really glad Bomberman is doing so well in the modern age. It's probably Konami's best ongoing franchise rn and its not even originally theirs. I played the Super R a few years ago and had a fun time with it, but I didn't get a true appreciation for Bomberman until last year when I watch RifleXD's 8 hour video on the entire Bomberman franchise, which made me want to go back and play all of the Bomberman games I could. I hope Super R 2 is even better than the original in both single player and in multiplayer because I know that it has the ability to be one of Bomberman's best games if it is

Super Bomberman R was okay but I can't help but feel the single player mode has regressed from games like Bomberman 64 or Bomberman Generations on GameCube. I'd rather have a bigger world to explore again rather than small levels.

I'll likely still get it though for the online. The original was cross-play which was cool.

720p 60fps let’s goooooo

This was a really cool game early on in the switch life, I bought mine too have something very different from breath of the wild and fast rmx my 2 first games on the system.

As early supporters of the switch at a time when there was very little support Konami won back a lot of respect from me doing that. Also don't forget they didn't just drop this game and move on, there was a patch for this game which took it from 30fps to 60 once Konami were a little more acquainted with the system.

Is "This is not good" the best line to end your trailer on?
I kid. Loved Super Bomberman(s) on Snes and Mega Bomberman (megadrive), BM64, Bomberman Hero, Bomberman Generations. Also really liked the free online game they gave us a 2 years ago...though the fact it could take 10 minutes plus to get back into a new game was grating! Watching this one with interest, but still hoping for something Bomberman related to come to NSO online.

Why not the oddity of Wario vs. Bomberman now we have GameBoy, for that matter?

I know it's weird to say but 6 years passing feels even longer for some Switch games more than others. Breath of the Wild still feels fresh and I play it on a regular basis so it's hard to believe it's been 6 years. However games like Bomberman R or Snipperclippers I've hardly touched since I first played them and it feels like forever ago when they released.

It seems Konami treats Bomberman way better than their own IPs now. While Bomberman got new games coming, their older IPs like Contra, Castlevania, Metal Gear Solid, Suikoden, and Silent Hill only got ports and remakes.

Having been one of only 3 people in the world who had a Switch day one and didn't buy Zelda I do have fond memories of this game.

In fact until Mario Kart 8 deluxe released roughly a month later it was actually my only game for a short while

Who is Konami again?? Who trusts Konami these days? I sure as hell don't!! They were so amazing back in the NES+ days.. long gone and forgotten by todays standard.. to bad, they were once LEGENDARY!!

@JohnnyMind Small world, eh? Oh man, you missed out, we had a lot of fun playing those minigames together and how you could mess with each other, good times

how is this guy not in Smash already?

Bomberman R is alot of fun. Looking forward to R2, even if the additional modes don’t excite me too much yet.

Celebrating the anniversary of your dead game is a weird one.

Though I greatly enjoyed Super Bomberman R and look forward to its sequel, I do hope Konami puts out a "collection" for the series.

Regarding Bomberman 64, admittedly that was the first game I played in the series and while it does hold a lot of nostalgic factor for me, looking back now I would say that I only had a decent time with it. The puzzle-focused element of the gameplay got in the way of the game in terms of pacing and the freeform/aggressive spin on the series' gameplay just can't beat the classic but strategic stigma of the 2D gameplay for me, not to mention that it doesn't really seem to push the 3D boundaries the same way that Super Mario 64 and even Crash Bandicoot did at the time.

That said, I do hope Bomberman 64, Bomberman Hero, and Bomberman 64: The Second Attack (among other titles) resurface on the Switch or another Nintendo system somehow. I kind of miss those games, despite their flaws.

@Smug43
I still believe in Konami as I am a huge fan of Dance Dance Revolution games and other BEMANI Rhythm games.

Why would anyone want more Bomberman? They all are basically the same game, it's like asking form more tetris.

@fenlix you can say that about almost every sequel to a game. They're all the same with a few new things added. Are you against remasters and remakes aswell since they're the exact same game but look better?

I've never particularly enjoyed the standard Bomberman games in either single player or multiplayer, but I'd love to see another story focused game like Bomberman Hero. I doubt Konami would return to that well, but I'd be very happy to be proven wrong.

I liked the Super Bomberman games with the jetpack guy, dual pistol guy etc. Made it more fun than the standard bomb dropping.

I'd love another game like Bomberman 64

put hero online cowards

Loved Bomberman 64 and Bomberman Hero on the n64 back in the days. Hopefully we will get a new game in these styles again.

The 64 games and Bomberman party wiiware, and bomberman96? Are my faves. Indeed another 64 style adventure game with new gadgets like that jetpack etc would be cool asf.

I bought Bomberman R on launch day. There really wasn't that much too play then. Konami showed up with an exclusive title. All other Japanese developers were a no show and didn't release anything until they saw the Switch was selling. I'll buy R2 day 1.

What's better: more bomberman or more cowbell?

@Uncle_Franklin They are through a Spirit battle, and a very convincing full-on mii costume.

@Fighting_Game_Loser Watched that 8 hour vid too and it was amazing! I'm a big fan of Super Bomberman R so I can't wait for R2 to come out.

It really is time for a new 3D Bomberman game. Bomberman 64 was awesome and special because many of the levels had some verticality to them not often seen in the series, especially in Battle Mode.

Bomberman 64/Hero/Generation/Jetters/Land... Konami please make a new expansive, comprehensive entry along those lines.

In the meantime the NSO N64 App would be a great place for some of those Bomberman titles, heck even Bomberman '94/Mega Bomberman would be great on the NSO Genesis App or Super Bomberman 1 - 5 on the NSO Super Nintendo App, especially since I don't think 3 - 5 were never officially released in North America. This is a great opportunity to add some value to all of those apps and the online subscriptions.

All of these NSO Apps are neglected by Nintie and leave so much to be desired because of the potential imo smh. Combine the platforms into one Nintendo Switch Archives App, improve the emulators have much of the features that have long been a staple of the free ones online for decades now. And most of all, we need more frequent, quality & voluminous drops. Do better beloved Nintendo!

... Wun can only hope.
