Super Bomberman R 1.4 Update Adds Team Battles, Maps & Characters

Its rather ridiculous pricing might have been a noose around the game’s neck, even as one of the Nintendo Switch’s few launch titles and the appealing return of a beloved game series. It didn’t review particularly well around these parts. However, credit where it’s due, Konami have supported the game quite well, first addressing some of the game’s performance and online problems, and now adding a new mode and a bunch of other content, delving into Konami’s once fantastic catalogue of games for inspiration.

The patch adds:

• Team Battles – Players can create their own teams to battle against other players from around the world. Once all other team colours have been wiped out, the last team standing declares victory. Set 3-team or 4-team battles, as well as 1v4 to create the ultimate challenge!

• 4 New Maps for Battle Mode:
  • Plain Floor – A large open space in the middle of the stage creates an intense battle
  • Desert Fort – Strategically manoeuvre between moving red tiles to win
  • Classic Conveyor Belt – The well-known conveyor belt from past series is back!
  • Panic Factory – Covered mostly with conveyor belts, this stage creates a chaotic battle

• 3 New Characters – Pyramid Head, Simon Belmont and Vic Viper join the battle, each with a special ability:
  • Pyramid Head Bomber from Silent Hill: Defeat your enemies instantaneously when in contact
  • Simon Belmont Bomber from Castlevania: Draw in bombs and characters from far away
  • Vic Viper Bomber from Gradius: Super-fast movement

• New Accessories
  • Snowflake Series
  • Item Series
