Super Bomberman Collection Gets A Surprise Shadow Drop On Switch 2

If it had Bomberman 64 I would have lost it!

This was the one surprise for me in the direct. I’ve never played old bomberman games, but I’m certainly interested in giving them a try. This will go on the wishlist for sure.

Next to Paranormasight that was the highlight of the Direct for me.

Hopefully we also at some point get the Goemon collection that was announced in the Japanese one.

Will there be a physical? date?

Funny how Super Bomberman 2 and Super Bomberman R 2 are the games in their subseries that don't feature co-op for their campaign modes. If there's ever Super Bomberman R 3 I bet the co-op will return.

Anyways, good to have a western release for Super Bomberman 4 and 5. I played trough those in co-op years ago.

Excellent! This game was like the predecessor to Mario Party in terms of ending friendships. I hope to end many more with this collection! 😈

This was an announcement that pleasantly surprised me. I think I’ll buy this collection today, and mess around with it today at work on my lunch break.

@lovesushi The UK direct said a physical was coming in August.

Played these so much in my childhood, including the japan-only 4 and 5!

@Lizuka "Hopefully we also at some point get the Goemon collection that was announced in the Japanese one."

Spits up drink and sits up in chair with wide eyes

This got me so hyped. I'm so glad Konami finally did a Bomberman collection, probably going to try and get the physical version

It's great to know that the old Bomberman games will be returning to be played around this time of year and remembered by new generations.

Let's also hope for more collections, since it's a franchise with many games from its golden age.

They should have popped the Westernised and still by Hudonsoft version of Bomberman called, "Eric And The Floaters," on this collection. Still got my MSX cassette copy 😂

@Lizuka Gutted that we're unlikely to see a Western release of the Goemon collection as I don't think Konami will think it's worth doing full translations. Will have to see if I can get an imported physical copy when it's released.

Eric and the Floaters or nothing.

Fantastic news! It was my most wished for collection that hadn't come out. I don't know if I can wait for the physical. Now I'm down to just asking Konami for a Goemon collection with official localizations.

kinda pumped to try this assuming it isn't a stupid price

@Aki77 I didn't know about the Japanese Goemon collection. I was just asking for a localized one in the comment that I just made. Sad that it seems to have been passed on.

Man I want the n64 games

Put many hours into Bomberman 3 with my little brother. Definitely getting this. 😊

Which super-Bomberman games have the co op option? I believe that at least number 3 does, any of the others?

Edit: looks like 3-5 do. NICE!!

Konami really burying the lead by not showing off MORE Louies, tbh...

But biases and half-jokes aside, very excited to see such a sincere effort with this collection! Konami really could've just plopped these on NSO and called it a day.

This also gives me hope we'll see more Bomberman collections from other eras. The world deserves to know the glory of Bomberman Fantasy Race!

Announcement of the show for me.

Ok, Konami. You had me there. I will get it, when I will? That's up in the air.

With that said, could you change the news title from "on Switch 2" to "on Switch systems"? OG title could be a bit misleading.

Can we stop making switch games, just move on to the new console.

Wade and Mike also made a Goemon collection, but that's Japan only because... well Goemon

Trying to figure out if this will have online multiplayer with randoms as well or not?

This is cool. But unless there's legit single player or online matchmaking, I cannot enjoy.

@Oram77 one of the best multiplayer games of all time

@rvcolem1 why wouldn't they release this in the Switch too? If its capable then there's more audience to buy these kind of games.

@Yoshi3 I enjoy moving forward, I was just generalizing not necessarily about this particular game

@rvcolem1 ok, but I mean, its not that they are bogging down more powerful games because they want them on the Switch 1 too. The heavier games go exclusively to Switch 2.... also, the console doesn't even have a year yet. Usually the transition between consoles lasts for quite a few years.... just look at the PS4-PS5.
It takes a bit of time to build a user base big enough to commit just to a single console.

@Oram77 I lost it through disappointment! That game is so damn good. I was really expecting to see it when I clicked on article, but in hindsight it's not a 'Super'

I am VERY impressed with the polish of this collection. If the CRT filter was decent this would be a 10/10 for me

Shame there is no Saturn Bomberman

@lovesushi Physical is coming later in the year. https://x.com/Wario64/status/2019413746938958083
