Super Bomberman R 2 is a triumphant and feature-rich return for the explosive icon. The new Castle mode brings some interesting twists to the classic formula (though the level editor feels like it could use a little more work) while all the chaotic arcade gameplay that’s carried this series for 40 years proves to be just as compelling as it’s always been. Pair that addictive gameplay with an extensive multiplayer suite and lots of unlockables, and you’ve got something that’s easy to recommend to anyone looking for the next great multiplayer release to break out on game night. It’s a little less easy to recommend if you intend on playing entirely solo—the single-player offering is a bit thin here—but the endless replayability of the online component makes it a great pick otherwise.
Super Bomberman R 2 is a very fun game full of content for fans of the series. From the new Castle mode to Konami's great roster of characters, this is a great celebration of the Bomberman franchise. It may not innovate too much, but it's still a game we would recommend, especially if you have friends to play with.
Quotation forthcoming.
Konami hasn’t put in all the effort it should’ve in Super Bomberman R 2. The new modes and innovations compared to the classic Bomberman aren’t particularly enjoyable and underutilize a very powerful gameplay core. Furthermore, the Nintendo Switch version suffers from performance and resolution issues.
It feels like Konami don’t know what to do with Bomberman anymore. At its core, it is still a super fun multiplayer title, and with online, you can enjoy it without needing seven other friends huddled around the TV. But that’s nothing new; Bomberman has been online for years, and Super Bomberman R 2 has wrapped it up with more “stuff” to justify it no longer being a free-to-play title. Battle 64 is a lot of fun, but new modes like Castle didn’t do it for me. The story is cute, but I want something else from Bomberman. If you love Bomberman, you’ll have a blast (sorry), but it might be too much for everyone else.
An unimpressive and incremental sequel to an already underwhelming game, Konami is in desperate need of doing something interesting with the Bomberman formula. Luckily for Konami, the time worn Bomberman gameplay is still a blast, and new online modes are sure to please longtime fans, but it’s hard to justify spending the full price of a retail game on a title that doesn’t do enough to earn that price tag. I’ll have to forget my dreams of a true reinvention along the lines of Pac-man Championship Edition DX+ for now.
