Super Bomberman R - Nintendo Switch

I've never played any of the Bomberman games, but I have heard of him. I've also seen a little bit of gameplay from some of the older games. I got this on sale on Black Friday last year. The gameplay from the trailer looks like fun. So, I figured I would give this game a try. :) The cool thing about inside the case is that they show you the controls of the game. Plus, you see Bomberman and his siblings in the background of the inside cover of the case. If you're new to the Bomberman series, I suggest you play through Easy mode if you are not familiar with previous Bomberman games. If you're familiar with Bomberman, there's a Veteran mode for you to play. Pros: * The game has a Battle Mode that can have up to 8 players via local connection and online connection. * Costumes for your characters. The costumes are based on characters from other Konami franchises. (ie. Belmont, Dracula, Goemon, Reiko, Pyramid Head, and so much more!) * The costumes can be purchased with in-game money. No micro- transactions. * The story mode was fun to watch and the humor was funny. * You can skip the cutscenes by pressing the plus "+" button. * The artstyle is fun, stylish, and cartoony. I didn't have any negatives with this game. It took me awhile to get use to playing the mechanics of the game. Once you get the hang of it, it is fun. As you progress through the levels, it becomes more challenging. The bosses can be challenging at times. So, you have to figure out a strategy to bomb them before they blow you up with their own bombs. Or try to avoid accidentally bombing yourself. Which is kinda hilarious and embarrassing to watch. Overall, this is a fun Bomberman game and great for those who are Bomberman fans. I would recommend this to someone who wants to try something new that has action and multiplayer to play with friends and family. Or just enjoy playing the single player mode.

I really wanted to like this game. I have enjoyed Bomberman since the NES days. The main issue are the controls. This type of maze game is naturally going to need to be played with a D-pad. Trying to use the analog stick results in you pushing up against barriers and making wrong turns. So then you have to use the Switch Joycon D-pad, which is just 4 buttons, and that is also hard to use. I have a Pro Controller so I use that when I can. One thing to note is that you must completely detach the Joycons from the console in order for the Switch allow you to use the Pro Controller. I have only had this issue with Super Bomberman R. Also, placing a bomb is inconsistent, sometimes it goes on the square you are standing on, and sometimes it ends up in front of you, which frequently leaves you trapped between the bomb and wall. Playing through the single player campaign is pretty good until you get to a boss character. These guys simply don't make mistakes, and you will end up blowing yourself trying to defeat them. So far I have defeated the first 2 boss characters, and they were both dumb luck where I spammed bombs everywhere and blew them up before I blew myself up. You will blow youself up a lot due to the bad controls. This is a $30 game at best.

I am very happy with this purchase. My son and I have took turns playing this game. The graphics are amazing. However, I vaguely remember the original bomber man game, but for the price that best buy had it marked down for I figured that I would not be upset. The game was definitely worth more I feel like I won on this buy!

Haven't played it yet, but I know it will be fun. One of my all time favorite SNES games.

The gameplay is functional, but doesn’t feel as though it perfected what previous entries have accomplished. I wish there was a classic mode with sprite based gameplay rather than these unnecessary 3D models. It's nice to have all the customization options, but this is a classic that doesn't benefit from being overcomplicated.
