The 40th-anniversary celebrations for Bomberman can kick off very soon. Konami has revealed that Super Bomberman R 2 is blasting onto Switch on 13th September in North America, and 14th September in Europe and Japan. Physical versions of the game will available in North America a day earlier. (Thanks, Gematsu!)
Revealed last June, Super Bomberman R 2 is a sequel to 2017’s Super Bomberman R and is packed full of explosive features — both old and new — so it promises to be a content blowout. The brand new Castle Mode sees you either attacking or defending a castle, trying to steal or protect all of the keys. You can even design your own castle stages and share them online.
The story mode also incorporates some base-building mechanics, which will see Bomberman travel to a new planet and fight some pretty tough foes. Plus, given all of Konami’s character cameos over the years in Super Bomberman R (and Online), we’re pretty excited to see if more will make the cut in this sequel.
