Konami Digital Entertainment has officially released Super Bomberman Collection on both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch, following a high-profile announcement during this week’s Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase.
This eagerly anticipated compilation brings together every mainline Super Bomberman title from the 16-bit era, including regional versions that were previously exclusive to Japan.
Super Bomberman Collection bundles a total of seven classic games from the franchise's storied history, delivering a nostalgic yet modernized experience for both veteran fans and newcomers.
The collection includes Super Bomberman (1993), Super Bomberman 2 (1994), Super Bomberman 3 (1995), Super Bomberman 4 (1996), and Super Bomberman 5 (1997), all originally released on the Super Nintendo Entertainment System (SNES), along with the foundational Bomberman (1985) and Bomberman II (1991).
For the first time, international audiences can now access English-localized versions of titles previously limited to Japanese releases. Each game has been enhanced with contemporary features, catering to the expectations of today’s players while respecting the legacy of the series.
According to a Konami spokesperson, players can take advantage of modern conveniences such as the new "Save/Load Anytime" feature, which enables saving progress at any point, and the innovative "Rewind Function," allowing users to correct missteps during challenging stages.
These updates ensure that both intense single-player runs and high-energy multiplayer sessions are more accessible and enjoyable than ever on Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 hardware. The full lineup in the Super Bomberman Collection offers: - Super Bomberman (Japanese, US, and European versions): The iconic debut on the SNES, introducing the legendary maze-based action and the Battle Mode that would come to define the franchise. - Super Bomberman 2 (Japanese, US, and European versions): Noted for tighter controls and balanced stages, this title elevated Bomberman’s reputation as a local multiplayer mainstay of the 16-bit era. - Super Bomberman 3 (Japanese and European versions): This entry introduced character-specific abilities, deepening the strategic options for players in both solo and multiplayer play. - Super Bomberman 4 (Japanese version with English localization): Featuring time travel and unique, rideable characters, this installment makes its official English debut in the collection. - Super Bomberman 5 (Japanese version with English localization): The thrilling series finale, offering a non-linear story and the freedom for players to influence how their adventure unfolds. - Bomberman (1985): The groundbreaking original title, setting the template for strategic bomb-laying maze gameplay across 50 stages. - Bomberman II (1991): The sequel that introduced multiplayer functionality to the franchise, laying the groundwork for the party-game legacy. Super Bomberman Collection is now available for digital download on the Nintendo eShop, accessible for players on Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch worldwide.
Konami has confirmed that a physical retail edition will launch globally on August 28, 2026, providing collectors and franchise enthusiasts an opportunity to own the complete anthology in boxed form. This comprehensive release underscores Konami Digital Entertainment’s ongoing commitment to preserving gaming history while adapting iconic franchises for the ever-evolving Nintendo hardware platforms.
With modern features and full regional support, Super Bomberman Collection celebrates a pivotal era in multiplayer gaming and cements Bomberman’s status as one of video game’s most enduring series.
