Switch's hardware makes it the most social Bomberman ever, but it's stubbornly old-school. [Apr 2017, p.65]
Fly-proof Bomberman's gameplay never grows old. Even this time it works out well, despite the occasional stumbles over confusing arenas. The biggest issue of the game is its outrageous price.

Super Bomberman R is far from a bad game, but it clearly needed more time in the oven. [Issue #27 – May/June 2017, p. 68]

This game receives a lot of hate due to its lack of content and online capabilities but I'm having a blast with my daughter with this game! It is super fun. If you play it without considering there other bomberman games out there from the past, then you may probably enjoy it. In addition, having Bomberman on the go is never a bad idea.

Typical classic Bomberman gameplay, nothing new. It's a fun multiplayer to play with friends, but the excitement doesn't last too long and after a few matches, it gets tired.

The story is very boring, the English dubbing is rough, the game performs very poorly and the difficulty curve is absurd, there are very easy stages that jump to an absurdly difficult and unfair stage.

Super Bomberman R is the game that Switch needed at its beginning. Quick plays and lots of action with your friends in a very entertaining game that brings back the nostalgia.

This game is amzaing. The story mode is good. The co-op is the best. It is so fun. I wish more people can play this game

Super Bomberman R offers the trademark multiplayer battling fun, but doesn't do anywhere near enough to justify the price tag.

It’s just that for this kind of price I’ve come to expect more than a pretty version of the same Bomberman we’ve played for decades and a single player mode bereft of new ideas that feels more like a slog than a joy.

Super Bomberman R isn’t a bad game when it’s working, and if you can get a few people connected to a single Switch you’ll have a great time. But due to a small online presence and some serious lag issues when connecting devices locally, the game just doesn’t work as it should. Super Bomberman R hasn’t launched with a downloadable title price – it’s a full retail game, with the price to match. If you need your fix, I’d suggest either waiting until you find this in a bargain bin, or dust off your Wii U and grab Bomberman 64 on Virtual Console.

This is a cheap game with an expensive price tag, and there's nothing remotely super about it. [May 2017, p.123]

Decent for a bomberman game, Updated frequently and brings the genre to a next level. A lot of map and more to come, graphic wise is also decent. Very fun to play with friends and also very unique. Big improvement for the franchise and definitely my favorite Bomberman game.

It's interesting. It's facinating. It's colorful. It's a game. It's a Nintendo Switch game.

Un clásico que vuelve de las cenizas para traernos una nueva experiencia de multiplayer local con el alma de uno de los grandes de la época de 8 y 16 bits. Si bien no es una experiencia innovadora, puede ser algo diferente a lo qué darle la oportunidad. Lo Bueno: - Multijugador local y modo cooperativo. - Si te encanta Bomberman, es perfecto para ti. Lo Malo - El gameplay no tiene nada novedoso. - La campaña se puede volver tediosa.

Bomberman is at its best with visual clarity and snappy controls. Super Bomberman R delivers neither of those. Sometimes "better" graphics are detrimental to gameplay, as is the case for this game. The character variety is nice, but Bomberman with wonky controls just isn't enjoyable.

Super Bomberman R is a complete and utter mess. By no means is it a terrible game, the standard battle mode played with friends or computers is actually quite entertaining by itself, but every other aspect of the game falls hopelessly flat. Did I tell you this game was by Konami? You can see the puzzle pieces fitting together now, can't you? The items in the shop are way too expensive, its incredibly hard to get into an online match by yourself, and the story mode is ridiculously difficult. But you won't even feel the need to 100% the story mode once you realise it doesn't give you as many shop credits as the standard battle mode. Normal play sessions for me consist of grinding for 10 minutes, buying stuff from the shop, then leaving the game to collect dust. I do not recommend you buy this game, even at a low price, it's just boring and irritating.

SummarySince its release in 1985, Bomberman has been a familiar party-battle game for many years. Now, Bomberman is coming back as "SUPER BOMBERMAN R" to Nintendo Switch. In SUPER BOMBERMAN R, the simple rule remains the same: operate the main character (Bomberman), place bombs, and battle with enemies and rivals, but it's coming back in a mode... Read More
