Considering Konami’s reputation these days, it’s quite surprising that Super Bomberman R for the Nintendo Switch continues to see major updates this many months after launch. The latest update was first announced back in September, where it was confirmed that a Grand Prix mode would be added plus three more Konami costumes.
Now the update has landed and it’s even meatier than expected. A World 7 has been added to the story mode while “Crystal” and “Blast Bomber” are new match types, but the most eye-catching are the 9 new characters. Here’s the full list:
- Jehuty (Zone of the Enders)
- Anubis (Zone of the Enders)
- Reiko (Rumble Roses)
- Goemon (Mystical Ninja)
- Princess Tomato (in the Salad Kingdom)
- Dracula (Castlevania)
- Bubble Head (Silent Hill)
- Option (Gradius)
- Shiori Fujisaki (Tokimeki Memorial)
Strangely the game still doesn’t have a representative character from Konami’s biggest franchise, Metal Gear. Given the regular trickle of these updates, however, it may just be a matter of time. Leave a Comment
