Unfortunately, the same can't be said for those guys in world 5.

Easily the most surprised part of the Nintendo Direct. The moment I get the Switch, this game is coming alongside it.The world needs more apocalyptic stories. *darknessintensifies*

Hey guys, I saw a few people back on page one talking about what' the meaning of the R in the title is, so I thought I'd share this response I received from Konami on reddit:


Also, here's some shots of the Japanese game case: https://twitter.com/aevanko/status/824941332284071936

Awesome! Thanks for relaying the info.  

That box art is great. It's so packed with vibrant cartoony imagery...  

It's odd to see Plasma Bomber with vertical Bomberman eyes on the back of the box, but interesting for a change. Also, Brain Bomber got left out, lol.

@berrrnard: Do you happen to have the link to Konami's response?

Thanks for the link to the game case! It looks super boss.

If I don't wield the bomb, I can't protect you. If I keep wielding the bomb, I can't embrace you.

Sure! Here's a link to the comment:

https://www.reddit.com/r/bomberman/comments/5pdxia/what_is_the_meaning_behind_the_r_in_super/dct83b9/

I knew I wasn't imagining the SB3 connection, but now the odds that the game will have on foot battles agains the Fives are that much lower...

Ah, a few interesting things about all that artwork:



I suspected this, but it seems Pretty Bomber has an animated cybernetic lines effect going on for her mask.



Golem Bomber still has his animated eyes, they just changed the default form.



SB3 had the main characters leaving a space station on a ship; with the above comment, we can surmise that R is going to have a similar premise. Also, that little UFO looks a lot like the one Bugler uses in that game.

Nice catch on those visors; I especially wouldn't have noticed the Golem Bomber one. At least he still has a display screen.

I'd just assumed that flying saucer was back view of the Bomber shuttle above (thrusters in yellow), but now that I'm actually looking at it, I see it differently... It could be world 6.

And I'm still pretty convinced that there are no rival battles.

I am convinced too, at this point. orz

Interesting the meaning of the word R, It has meaning both with the word Rangers and Reboot

The images above are interesting, I knew that PrettyBomber used a layer

In the official Facebook group Bomberman had published the same cover twice, but they changed the position to the characters and removing the front cover

Before

After


Es como si lo hubieran hecho para ocultar lo que se puede ver de la base bomberman

The first cover lasted very little on facebook

Awesome. The case in particular makes me want to buy the Japanese version especially since there are no region locking.

Some in-game victory screenshots here on Tumblr! I like that Pink isn't wearing a skirt.

Oohhh god!!! I love the victory images  
eh... wait!!  

So it is true that Pink has no skirt or shorts, this is curious, She's still very pretty  

I was wrong in my drawings too

I agree. I'm struggling to remember the last female Bomber who didn't have one... Bomber Lady ('94), ironically, was the first, though in artwork only.

Don't forget Bomberman Online (Dreamcast) Mermaid Bomber too. :P

More bombergirls without skirts are neat though. ^_^

But if they don't have skirts, what am I supposed to do with all these Wind Bombs?

Just use your imagination. I'm sure your Wind Bombs will be happy!  

It's very surprising for myself to see a Bomberman Title by Konami for the Switch. I was hyped when I saw the trailer and hey: even the voice acting sounds great!

... Don't mind me, though, I won't spoil myself with all the things that are flying across this Topic here in regards to Bomberman Super-R. I love surprises.  

Though seeing some changes within the Artworks and Animations sure catches my attention.  

@SailorBomber Nice catch, didn't notice the change in placement at all.

@Sora I realized after you posted those win screens that I actually have the Shiro one in a higher resolution, here.

Also, here is the original PR letter that went along with the announcement. I didn't realize they actually said 50 stages... so, six worlds with eight stages each is basically confirmed, with maybe an extra two stages.

Cool, I hadn't seen that press release before. Thanks for the link. Although...


This could just as easily mean 5 worlds with 10 stages apiece, couldn't it?
