Bomberman was such an important part of my childhood. I remember playing on the Mega Drive with my friends, hopping around on those colourful kangaroos and hiding behind blocks just hoping we weren't about to blow ourselves up with a poorly aimed move. So it won't surprise you to hear that I'm mega excited about the Super Bomberman Collection, especially as it features two games that have never been released outside of Japan.
Konami have brought the collection to Switch 1/2, Ps5, Xbox Series X/S, and Steam, and it's available to download and play today. Physical versions will also be available on August 28th, but if you can't wait that long, I suggest you get downloading and playing right away.
The collection comes with:
- Bomberman
- Bomberman II
- Super Bomberman 1
- Super Bomberman 2
- Super Bomberman 3
- Super Bomberman 4
- Super Bomberman 5
Super Bomberman 4 and 5 have never had an official release outside of Japan, so for many Bomberman fans in the West, this will be the first time that they've actually played these games!
There are tonnes of new features like a Boss Rush mode that lets players just tackle the bosses from the games across the years, as well as a rewind function, gallery, and the ability to save anytime, anywhere.
Plus, if you get the Nintendo Switch 2 version, then you can share the game via GamShare either locally or via GameChat with your friends, meaning only one of you needs to get the game. Cool, huh?
