Konami has delivered a major announcement for fans of classic action-puzzle games with the unexpected digital launch of Super Bomberman Collection on both the Nintendo Switch and the new Switch 2.
This special collection, now available via the Nintendo eShop for both hardware platforms, compiles seven distinct Bomberman games, spanning Super Bomberman 1 through 5 and the original Famicom versions of Bomberman 1 and 2. For the first time, Super Bomberman 4 and 5 are officially playable in English, making this release especially notable for international fans and series collectors.
Konami’s initiative to include these long-requested localized versions underscores its ongoing commitment to preserving classic game experiences for modern audiences. Alongside the original games, Super Bomberman Collection introduces a brand-new Boss Rush mode, inviting players to take on a continuous series of challenging boss encounters.
Local multiplayer is supported, with player limits determined by the specific game mode and platform in use.
For Switch 2 users, the package features exclusive enhancements, such as GameShare support and integrated GameChat, reflecting the next-generation console’s social play functionality. Quality of life improvements abound throughout the collection, with modern conveniences like save states, a rewind function, and robust gallery and music player features that offer a virtual unboxing experience and deep dives into Bomberman’s rich legacy of art and soundtracks. In a statement from Konami, the publisher highlighted that, "Super Bomberman Collection brings together the most beloved entries in the series with modern updates and never-before-seen features, making it the definitive way to experience Bomberman on Nintendo hardware." While the digital edition is available immediately, physical release dates are set for August 25, 2026, in the United States and August 28, 2026, in the United Kingdom.
Nintendo Switch players can look forward to a collector’s edition priced at €69.99, while Switch 2 users will have access to a deluxe edition bundling the game with additional exclusive items such as a unique sleeve, a manual, and a stress ball, retailing at €49.99.
Notably, the Switch 2 version ships on a full game cartridge, requiring no initial download for play. This comprehensive collection marks an exciting moment for the Super Bomberman franchise and underscores Konami’s dedication to both long-time fans and new players.
With instant availability on the Nintendo eShop and robust physical editions coming soon, Super Bomberman Collection stands as one of the year’s most substantial classic game releases for the Switch family of systems.
