Super Bomberman Collection Unites All of the Series’ NES and SNES Games Into One Package

Bomberman ws once as iconic a mascot as Mega Man or Sonic, but as the years passed, he became less and less prevalent. Eventually developer Hudson shuttered and the character went to Konami, but alas, not much has come from that transfer of ownership. Beyond the Super Bomberman R games it’s been fairly quiet for the character—until last week’s Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase. Now, Bomberman is back in Super Bomberman Collection… which is available now! Take a look:

Here are the games in the collection (with descriptions from the developer):

1. Super Bomberman [Japanese Version / US Version / European Version]: Mr. Karat, the evil power-hungry tyrant, and scientist Dr.Mukk! Defeat the robot army they command and thwart their ambitions!
2. Super Bomberman 2 [Japanese Version / US Version / European Version]: Our Bomberman has been captured by the sudden appearance of the vicious Bomber Quintet. For the sake of Earth’s peace and his own destiny, he must confront them!
3. Super Bomberman 3 [Japanese Version / European Version]: The evil Professor Bugler has revived the vicious Five Dastardly Bombers, once defeated by Bomberman, and has begun his march towards cosmic conquest.
4. Super Bomberman 4 [Japanese Version (English localised [sic] version available)]: Bomberman has been transported to different eras by the Four Bomber Kings. What is their purpose? And what is the mysterious entity lurking in the shadows?
5. Super Bomberman 5 [Japanese Version (English localised version available)]: A mysterious man calling himself the Emperor of another world, ‘Terrorin’. He has freed eight ‘Vicious Bombers’ from prison and begun an invasion with them as his subordinates.
6. Bomberman [Japanese Version]: The commemorative work that laid the foundation for the series. Conquer all 50 stages!
7. Bomberman II [Japanese Version]: The sequel to Bomberman. The work that implemented versus play.

There’s also GameShare, a Boss Rush mode, a gallery, rewind, and much, much more to pluck through. It’s truly a gift for longtime Bomberman fans—now let’s get Bomberman Hero rereleased, eh, Konami?
