The game features not only offline battles that can be played with family and friends, but also online battles that connect players from all over the world, as well as a single player mode. With new adventures and game modes, it has the largest content volume in the series' history! It would not be appropriate for what you would want to do.The latest title of the party battle games series SUPER BOMBERMAN R! Lastly, I believe that Super Bomberman R Online, coming to Switch is not a local multiplayer game as much as it is an online battle-royal in the style of Tetris 99 or Super Mario Bros. I would NOT recommend Bomberman '93 or '94 because neither of those have the Power Glove which is by far the most fun power-up to use in multiplayer games in part due to screen-wrapping. Again, it's a little tight with 5 players, but easily the best of the 5 player games of that era. My third choice would be Super Bomberman 5. If you are absolutely set on having more than 4 players I would go with that since the larger widescreen boards are more forgiving for more than 4 players than the classic 4:3 SNES boards. On the Switch it is 8 players as well as on X-Box and steam. Meaning it is a bit less fun since you can't get more powerful before another bomber is on you.Īlso, Super Bomberman R is only limited to 4 players on Playstation 4. Plus I have found that with 5 players there tends to not be enough soft blocks/power-ups for every player. It is a ridiculous amount of fun! I know it is only four players, but it is worth it. My friends and I spent hundreds (if not thousands) of hours playing that board. It has the single most fun battle board (multiplayer) in the franchise in Matango Jump. It has tight gameplay mechanics and alternate modes of play (something that a number of 00's and later games introduce). I personally wouldn't start someone here.īomberman Generation for the GameCube is also a surprisingly good choice, I've personally never played it with friends but a good friend and his friends swear by it. ![]() Super 4 is a fun time but it is a strange Bomberman experience - each character has a unique special ability they can trigger, and the rideable enemies have kind of awkward powers compared to the ruis of Super 3 and Super 5 (for example, one of them literally just gives you the Kick item as its ability, and another lets you plant Penetration Bombs). '93 is alright but it's very old and very limited, moreso than even '94. I don't remember how it functions mechanically but I think it's a decent choice as well. It has an expansive battle game with three "difficulty settings" which basically boil down to revamped versions of Super/Super 2, Super 3, and Super 4 (same characters and all, but with some new stuff). Party Edition does support 5 players with a multitap. Of the ones you listed, I would recommend '94 for a good basic battle game, Super 3 for a very nice well-rounded battle game (all the classic features without the really wild stuff), and Super 5 for a game like Super 3 but with some more unique power-ups that might not be to everybody's tastes. It's free though so you may as well try it out. R Online (the Stadia game) fixes some of R's problems but content-wise, is a downgrade. Very happy and appreciative to see anyone’s opinions and experiences on all of these matters. ![]() Any advice or counsel in that regard is appreciated.īut going deeper : for five players with classic gameplay, the options are:īomberman Party Edition (appears to support 5 but maybe only with a forced COM player?)Īre there standouts among these? Are they meaningfully better than the Switch game?Īnd I see the Stadia game may be coming to Switch. Obviously (or maybe not?), I’d love to figure out Saturn Bomberman, though it isn’t clear to me that such a box could emulate Saturn well enough, and even if it could I don’t know that I could get ten controllers properly connected. ![]() I’m also considering building an emulation box (Pi4, maybe might go x86), and grabbing a pile of wireless controllers. Lots of games support 5, and we could easily raise that crowd. It is also limited to 4 players, and I know more is easily done. But the reviews of that game, even for multiplayer, are lackluster. The path of least resistance is to just grab Super Bomberman R on the Switch and be done with it. My history with the franchise largely consists of ~three(?) consecutive years (middle school, basically) where my birthday party centered on renting the multitap and Super Bomberman together from Blockbuster, and playing all night. I’m looking forward to having people over again in the hopefully-near future, and I’m also looking to introduce my 7-year-old son (and his friends/their dads?) to multiplayer Bomberman.
