Super Bomberman Collection is officially out now in digital form, bringing a blast of 80s and 90s Bomberman energy to modern platforms with slick new quality-of-life upgrades. If you grew up turning friendships into cratered battlefields, this nostalgic package is basically a time machine you can play today.
What You Get in Super Bomberman Collection
This collection bundles seven retro titles into one release, including multiple regional versions and a few entries that originally stayed in Japan:
- Super Bomberman (Japanese, US, European versions)
- Super Bomberman 2 (Japanese, US, European versions)
- Super Bomberman 3 (Japanese, European versions)
- Super Bomberman 4 (Japanese version, English localized version available)
- Super Bomberman 5 (Japanese version, English localized version available)
- Bomberman (Japanese version, 1985)
- Bomberman II (Japanese version, 1991)
From the franchise’s Super NES debut to the later entries that pushed new mechanics and weird charm, it is a packed history lesson that still plays like a party game trap disguised as a cute maze.
Modern Upgrades That Make the Classics Easier to Love
Konami is not just tossing ROMs in a folder. Super Bomberman Collection adds two quality-of-life features that change everything for casual runs and stubborn completionists:
Save/Load Anytime lets you drop a save whenever you want, even mid-run.
Rewind Function gives you a second chance when a stage goes sideways, or when you definitely did not mean to walk into your own blast.
Bonus Modes for When You Want More Than the Main Games
There are extra features here that feel made for long-time fans who want to soak in the era, not just speed through it.
BOMB Radio includes iconic music tracks from the original games.
Gallery Mode archives around 200 character illustrations pulled from the Super Bomberman titles in the collection.
Boss Rush mode lets you jump straight into major boss fights, plus a Time Attack option with three difficulty levels.
