Support NeoGAF

[BBboy20]

Super cool?

How about Rumble Roses XX for backwards-compatibility on Xbox One Konami?

No port begging?

 

[Kremzeek]

Haha Jehuty looks great!

Will look for a sale for this.

 

[Sigismundo]

SBR was one of the two games I got with my Switch and I'm quite happy with my purchase. I'm not entirely sure why it's getting the GAAS treatment but I'm certainly not complaining.

 

[Litri]

I'll buy the game next month, I have been waiting long but all these updates...

 

[Sniffynose]

Awesome! Really glad they are continuing support for it =)

 

[SinCityAssassin]

edit: wait you buried the lead:

Fuck everything else when is that releasing.

Because that OST was fucking banging.

 

[SPCTRE]

Jehuty and Anubis look adorable!

Too bad I'm scared of Bomberman games

 

[Kouriozan]

That's pretty awesome post-launch support there.

 

[Graphics Horse]

Still no Fatman...

 

[Blizzard]

Imagine any time in the last 5 years saying, "A new top-down Bomberman will come out, actually be good, and get frequent post-release bugfix patches and free DLC updates."

 

[SatoAilDarko]

No port begging?

What are you even talking about?

Rumble Roses XX is a 360 game.

 

[BBboy20]

What are you even talking about?

Rumble Roses XX is a 360 game.

Do you own a Switch?

 

[Aostia]

When does this update hit? Konami keeps bringing me back with these updates and new characters.

Totally!
Loving this game since launch

 

[The Giant]

Wish they would add Goemon into the game.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Wish they would add Goemon into the game.

Goemon, Snake, Frogger, Contra guy, etc.

 

[Mugy]

May i ask why

 

[Baron von Loathsome]

Wait, Rumble Roses? In an E10+ game?

 

[Golnei]

Wait, Rumble Roses? In an E10+ game?

This is hardly the first questionable Konami character to be used as a cute mascot.

 

[SPCTRE]

May i ask why

mostly because I feel they have a reputation for being pretty hard

 

[Seik]

When's Punished Bomber?

 

[Golnei]

When's Punished Bomber?

2006.

 

[robotrock]

Je hu ty

 

[vegohead]

Je hu ty

In 10 80 p

The concept behind them its pretty hard, yeah. But they are still pretty fun, check them out, don't be afraid.

 

[Platy]

So sad that I missed when this game is on sale .... but these updates are starting to make me think that I will buy it either when it gets on sale or when I get one more pair of joycons

 

[Regiruler]

Didn't they put him in a card already?

Konami didn't put yugi in that card, because it is not a Konami owned card. Shueshia owns all the rights to it, and in the case of Yu-Jo friendship and it's related cards, they haven't relinquished the rights to them unlike pretty much every other promos in the game's history: thus, it hasn't been reprinted since it came out in the TCG, and Japan only got a reprint in a super special promo set in 2015.

The closest in the game's entire history would have to be Card of the Soul, which is just a sillhoute.

 

[TheMagician]

 

[FleetingFlowAir]

Wow, they just keep on making it better. I’ll definitely give the new mode a try.

 

[Jonneh3003]

Bomberman R has become an amazing tribute to Konami's largest franchises. I love these new additions!

 

[sixteen-bit]

When's Sparkster?

 

[dragonlife]

Oh, shit, nice. Hopefully this gives the online a life boost.

 

[Zubz]

I'm really happy seeing there's "more to come." I hope we see support throughout the Switch's life!

 

[Professor Lexicovermis]

...wonder what their special moves will be?

I know literally nothing about any of these characters, anybody in the know have any ideas how they may translate to Bomberman?

Bumping since more folks are here now.

 

[Zubz]

Bumping since more folks are here now.

Reiko's a wrestler & the other 2 are mechs, so... maybe Reiko can pin other Bombers? Or something?

Totally lost on Jehuty & Anubis.

Hmmmm.

Pinning other characters sounds interesting but extremely risky. Then again, their skills may very well prove unpredictable; who'd have thought Pyramid Head would get collision damage as his?

 

[FleetingFlowAir]

I shouldn’t hold my breath for it, but I hope there’s an update at some point that will let you pick out who the CPU characters should be. I don’t like that I can’t play against CPUs that are the unlockable characters, especially since you could fight against the Dastardly Bombers in Story Mode and they were just fine.

 

[leroidys]

This is awesome, don't get me wrong, but why no Hudson characters?

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

Cool update.

What's the cheapest this has been in the states?

I wanna say Best Buy had it for $40 a few months ago, which would have made it $32 after a Gamer's Club Unlocked membership.

 

[Giga Man]

Still no Goemon is baffling.

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

All this and more to come?

Curse you wallet!!

 

[Red Devil]

Still no Goemon is baffling.

This.

But still good they keep adding stuff to this game.

 

[RRockman]

Anubis' abillity will be zero shift.(teleportation for those who are unfamiliar with Z.O.E.) Bank on it.

Jehuty should have dashes that will allow her to move faster than the competition, but not faster than Anubis.

 

[ASaiyan]

Konami continuing to support a game with free DLC months after release? What year is it?

At this point.

Give me Yugi as well

Yes. But we can go deeper.

Snake returns to Nintendo consoles!*
As a Bomberman skin, not in Smash Bros.

 

[Sparrowhawk]

I don't own this (yet), but it's nice to see that they're actively supporting it.

 

[Weltall Zero]

It's amazing giant mecha got in there before Snake. In a game about crawling through corridors and setting bombs. The Kojima hate is real in Konami, man. :/

 

[Regiruler]

The last picture is presumably Dracula Bomber

The incentive seems to go towards franchises that konami isn't really making but still receive recognition, basically their B-tier.

Ok, now that is one badass Bomber.

I wouldn't really call Silent Hill or Castlevania B-Tier, though, & they seem to be glossing over non-Konami originals like Bonk or Frogger. After the past several years, I feel we have reason to believe they're screwing MGS fans over intentionally.

DRACULA BOMBER?!

"What is a Bomberman?"

 

[SkyOdin]

Jehuty and Anubis can do quite a bit.

Both of them can ignore gravity, make powerful homing laser attacks and are strong at melee combat.

Anubis has two stand-out features: it can Zero Shift (essentially teleport, though it is closer to instantaneous rapid movement), and it has enormous defenses that can stop or reflect any ranged attack directed against it.

Jehuty can store an enormous arsenal of weapons bigger than itself in an extradimensional pocket. It can also Zero Shift, and in the second game it excels at grab attacks. It can even use remote drones to grab enemies at long range and draw them to it.
