11/21/2023 0 Comments Super bomberman 4 coverThe Nintendo Switch, Playstation 5, and Steam all have just Super Bomberman R available for purchase, while the Xbox Series X|S has that as well as Bomberman Live: Battlefest, an Xbox 360 title from 2010 that is notable for still being backwards-compatible to this day, as well as being the final console release of Bomberman produced by the series’ originators, Hudson Soft: they’d be fully subsumed into Konami two years later, with an untitled action-adventure Bomberman release for the Nintendo 3DS canceled in the process. And that’s with taking the Xbox One and Playstation 4 into account, as well, since both basically mirror storefronts with their successor systems. How many of those 80 games are available for purchase on modern, current-gen platforms? Three of them. In the series’ 40 years, without even counting the three compilations or re-releases, there have been 80 Bomberman games released, with number 81 on the way this fall in the form of Super Bomberman R 2. “Where are all the Bomberman games?” is a reasonable question to ask. How many of those are available for you to purchase right now, perhaps as part of a 40th anniversary celebration? Let’s just say not enough to keep this feature from being written. Bomberman debuted 40 years ago this July, so of course there are loads of games starring the bomb-planting robot. If you’re on the younger side, though-say, too young to be aware of a time where Hudson Soft wasn’t owned by or completely absorbed into Konami-you’re likely lacking that awareness. If you’re of a certain age, you’re aware that there are a lot of Bomberman games out there.
