After what seems like a decade, Bomberman has returned in the form of a Switch launch title, "Super Bomberman R." The game is classic 8 and 16-bit Bomberman fare, running around in grid-style arenas and laying down cross-shaped explosions to take out your enemies. "Super Bomberman R" features two main modes of play: a Story campaign of 50 levels spanning across 6 worlds, complete with well-animated 2D cutscenes, and, of course, multiplayer. The Story is simple enough (returning villain Buggler is threatening the Bomber Galaxy), but I was really impressed with how colorful and full of energy the cutscenes and voice acting were. Most stages play out with simple objectives, like defeat all enemies, or small puzzles, like pressing a certain amount of switches to open the exit gate. If you've played any 8/16-bit Bomberman games before, you'll feel right at home (Hopefully one day we'll get another game in the same vein of the more adventurous N64 trilogy). Movement will take some getting used to, as playing with the analog stick will likely lead to some cheap deaths where you turn a corner you didn't mean to. Your characters are very sensitive to even the slightest touch on the analog stick, so I'd recommend playing with the D-Pad to avoid this issue. Multiplayer has always been Bomberman's bread-and-butter, and it mostly shines here. With up to 8 players, matches can get crazy hectic, but they're always a blast. There's also an Online Battle option, but as of this review, finding a match can take quite a bit of time, and most matches I played were laggy to the point of being unplayable (Konami has since issued a statement saying they're looking into this). Unfortunately, customization options are lacking, from being unable to set the difficulty of the A.I. (they can be pretty cheap!), to turning off certain items. Bomberman Live this is not, and considering the price of "Super Bomberman R" to the previous online titles on Xbox Live Arcade and PlayStation Network, this is a little disappointing. Still, if you're craving some classic Bomberman action, you can't go wrong. There's nothing quite like getting a 'revenge' kill on your buddy and getting thrown back into the fray, and having them curse your name. It's great to see the little guy back, and hopefully, we'll be seeing him more in the future. Maybe now we'll finally see Bomberman in Smash Bros.? Time will only tell.
