Super Bomberman R is an action-maze game developed by Konami and HexaDrive for the Nintendo Switch console. The game was released worldwide on March 3, 2017 as part of the Bomberman series. It is also the first main entry in over a decade, as well as being the first to be developed following the dissolving of original series developer Hudson Soft in 2012. The game received mixed to positive reviews by critics.
Super Bomberman R is an action game in which players move through a two-dimensional grid environment and must trap and drop bombs to defeat their opponents. The game features story mode spanning 50 stages and supports cooperative gameplay with another player. The game also features an eight-player competitive multiplayer mode.
Super Bomberman R was developed by Konami and HexaDrive. The game was announced on 12 January 2017 and was released on 3 March 2017, as a launch title for the Nintendo Switch console.
Nintendo Life's preview stated that "Super Bomberman R isn't going to break any ground with its familiar explosions and mayhem, but it doesn't have to; sometimes, colourful old-school gaming is refreshing in this era of progressively darker and more complex titles." This was reiterated in their review, with Steve Bowling describing it as "no-frills", but "the go-to multiplayer launch title" for the Switch.
Super Bomberman R received mixed reviews from professional critics according to review aggregator website Metacritic. In Japan, the game's debut week sales reached 39,609 copies sold, marking the highest first-week sales of a Bomberman game since 1998's Bomberman World, which sold 76,801 copies in its first week.
