While I'm happy that Bomberman is back (and it's partly thanks to Nintendo), it feels like Super Bomberman R just feels a bit... half-assed so to speak? I think that has to do with Konami, and it being a miracle they even are attempting this at all considering that they sat on the IP for 5 years after they closed-down Hudson after buying them fully.

I've always been saying that Nintendo should license the IP themselves and let ND Cube who as many know are made up of many former Hudson folks be behind such a game. Now it's true that there are Hudson folks still at Konami who are actually working on SBR, but I would feel that direct involvement by Nintendo and their own Hudson team would've given us better results. Kind of weird that it was Momotaro to get the special treatment from Nintendo (and developed by Valhalla (Devil's Third) of all developers... interesting pick there), while Bomberman was left to Konami and Hexadrive. Eh, whatever.

Also I would hope we can get something more than just the classic Bomberman gameplay, since my personal fav entry ever is Bomberman 64. I like Bomberman as a more action-adventure franchise than just the usual battle gameplay only. I'd like to see a return to that someday if possible.

What ideas do you guys have, should Bomberman actually live on after this entry?

60fps.

Still shocked it's 30fps....with frame rate drops

 

[Omega Kirby]

Wario Blast 2

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Bomberman Collection.

 

[AcademicSaucer]

Make it cartoony, fuck off with those "realistic" graphics. and 60 fps please

 

[Zonic]

Well, we already know what's next.

 

[FloatOn]

Bomberman on steam please

 

[James Scott]

Sequel to those platforming adventure games on the N64 like they were seemingly doing on 3DS.

 

[Zip_it007]

Super Bomberman S

 

[Nanashrew]

Super Bomberman S

Exactly what I was going to say.

 

[Shanlei91]

I want a Story mode like Bomberman 64 / Second Attack. Those were fun.

We'll probably just get DLC costumes for R.

Yeah, I'd love another adventure style Bomberman game.

Bomberman Saturn HD: Online Edition

Find one of the old ones. Make it work good. Release it. Profit.

 

[NekoGeo]

Super Bomberman Z
Super Bomberman GT
Super Bomberman Super

 

[Gunstar Ikari]

Bomberman Max 3, only replace the Charabom battling stuff with real multiplayer.

 

[mindatlarge]

Wouldn't mind seeing them go all retro when making the next installment, if there is one, totally sprite based but done beautifully and not with that semi-tilted perspective Bomberman R has.

 

[javadoze]

If Super Bomberman R does well, then I'd love to see whatever the heck Bomberman 3DS was supposed to be.

But more important, I want to see a patch for Super Bomberman R to fix the framerate issues and loading times.

 

[Eila]

Probably a good time for a throwback 16 bit bomberman digital download game.

 

[AmyS]

1.) Hi-Ten Bomberman

2.) Hi-Ten Chara-Bomb

Edit:

(3.)

Bomberman Saturn HD: Online Edition

 

[CO_Andy]

Hi-Ten Bomberman, if not, Bomberman Pachinko

 

[Suburban Thug]

I'd love to see a 2D Bomberman RPG similar to Sonic Brotherhood (DS) or Dragon Quest Rocket Slime

 

[Camjo-Z]

Super Bomberman R2, R3, etc. Just make it like the SNES games where each installment gets better and more ambitious than the last.

 

[Illucio]

This game keeps getting threads and keeps getting me hyped since I had to heavily convince myself to pre-order it since Konami and all.

 

[ThatStupidLion]

I really enjoyed bomberman tournament on gba, would love see something similar

 

[Watch Da Birdie]

Bring back Pommy and the Charaboms.

 

[aadiboy]

Not to be dismissive or anything, but does Bomberman even have a large fanbase? I don't here about people wanting a new Bomberman as much as, say, Mega Man or Metroid.

 

[MisterHero]

Bomberman in Smash Bros.

 

[jax]

Okay GAF, hear me out. Bomberman.. but hes like a robot. But he's grimdark. And he has chains. And there's fire everywhere. I think it could sell well with the PS4/XB1 crowd. The regular bomberman is too cartoony to be considered mainstream.

 

[InterMusketeer]

Bombergirl Triple X

 

[ArtHands]

Super Bomberman vs Mario

 

[BlueMagic]

Bomberman 64 remake.

 

[ZeoVGM]

I want a new Bomberman that plays very much like Bomberman 64.

 

[Josh5890]

Bomberman x Pikmin

 

[BasilZero]

Mega bomberMan S


(Successor to bomberman 64 series)

 

[Megatron]

Pachinko.

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

Pachinko.

Konami presents Bomberman The Wall.

 

[Hitlersaurus Christ]

A spiritual successor to Bomberman 64 2, complete with Mitsuda/ACE soundtrack. And Pommy or riot.
Or Bomberman Hero 2. Fuck the haters.

[RampagingSoul]

I would love a Bomberman based around the N64 games (64, Second Attack).

Bomberman Saturn HD would be great with some online play.

These have already been stated though.

 

[Dark Cloud]

Super Bomberman S

 

[Veal]

Bomberman Hero 2. With multiplayer and another godlike soundtrack .

 

[TreIII]

Gonna echo the desire for a new game like Bomberman 64-2.

Hell, even another game like Heroes would be fine by me. 3D platformers are making somewhat of a comeback, anyhow!

 

[Piston Hyundai]

Gonna echo the desire for a new game like Bomberman 64-2.

but bomberman 64 2 wasn't that great

 

[FarFromAnyGame]

Bomberman.

 

[RPGam3r]

Bomberman and all it cartoon appeal, a light hearted story and the destructive concepts of Red Faction Guerrilla.

 

[goldenpp72]

?

I assumed that was the joke.

 

[petran79]

Bomberman is sexist by todays standards. Change title to Dyna Blaster

 

[polyh3dron]

60fps.

Still shocked it's 30fps....with frame rate drops

Seriously. How do you make a top-down perspective traditional Bomberman game at THIRTY FRAMES PER SECOND? I'd rather go play Saturn Bomberman.
