Super Bomberman R sees the return of a series that’s been dormant for nearly a decade, this time returning exclusively on Switch. Bomberman has a long and illustrious history thanks to its simple gameplay and arcade-like presentation that makes it easy for anyone to jump in at any time and have fun, regardless of skill level or familiarity with the series or the medium in general. Super Bomberman R, however, for all its worth lacks quite a bit for its price of entry, and while the fun and arcade feeling is still there, don’t expect to feel fulfilled by the end of it all – especially if you’re playing solo.

Some new Super Bomberman R footage is on YouTube now, showing off a bit of 4 player multiplayer. You can check it out below.

Our Super Bomberman R review is coming soon. Dennis is working hard on Zelda: Breath of the Wild so hitting launch is unlikely, though we’ll deliver our verdict as soon as we can.

Super Bomberman R will run at 30 frames per second, according to Konami. The game is also confirmed to run at the Switch’s full resolution in both console and portable modes.

Super Bomberman R’s Battle Mode only supports online, whereas Cooperative Story Mode is only for local play. Regarding online, matchmaking through lobbies will be used so that players can easily connect to friends and random online participants.

Here’s something that may come as a bit of a surprise. On the official GDC 2017 site, Super Bomberman R is shown as one of the playable games developed with the Unity engine. Rather than going with internal tools, Konami and HexaDrive decided to use third-party technology. Fortunately we know that Switch supports Unity very well.
