Konami has revealed that Super Bomberman R Online, the Super Bomberman R spin-off previously exclusive to Google Stadia, will be coming to Switch and other consoles soon.
Inspired by Bomberman R, which you may remember was actually a Nintendo Switch launch title, this Battle Royale game first appeared on Stadia last September. No release date for Switch has yet been announced, although we’ve been told to expect it “soon” and it will be a free-to-play digital title.
Here’s a summary if you need to be notified:
As Bomberman returns with the gameplay that has made the franchise a board game classic – blast through battlefields, find hidden power-ups and use them to blow away enemies – the action in SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE bursts to new heights with the Fight 64 ”mode. With an original Battle Royale experience, up to 64 players are spread across 16 starting battlefields. As levels clear and players run down, the battlefield count continues to shrink until the ultimate final battle to be the last bomber remaining.
SUPER BOMBERMAN R ONLINE offers over 100 customizable function combinations, including numerous costumes, accessories and for the first time bomb skins – affecting both the bomb and the detonation itself. Players can further differentiate themselves from the crowd with the optional Premium Pack, which gives access to 14 additional bomber characters that pay homage to classic KONAMI IPs such as Gradius, Silent Hill, Castlevania and more!
We’ll be keeping an eye on more news about this release in the coming weeks, but let us know until then if you’d like to check this out on Switch with a comment.
