Super Bomberman Collection Reviews
Hudson Soft's classic franchise returns in Super Bomberman Collection, offering many hours of fun retro action.
Super Bomberman Collection showcases some of the very best gameplay that Bomberman has to offer. Between the various games on offer, there are dozens of hours of exciting couch multiplayer battles to be had, demonstrating that it doesn't take the latest and greatest tech for a game to simply be fun to play with others.Though the lack of native online is disappointing, the great gameplay coupled with some robust museum content that honors the legacy of these games makes this one a no brainer-especially given the relatively cheap price. If you're looking for another game you can pull out on game nights with friends, I'd highly suggest you pick this one up.
Super Bomberman Collection is a must-own for anyone who has ever enjoyed this franchise. With a grand total of seven games, including many that are reaching US shores for the first time, snappy presentation, and tons of behind-the-scenes goodies, you really can't go wrong.

Ultimately, this isn't a lazy emulation but a true work of historical memory, restoring dignity to a series that helped define the canons of a genre that continues to inspire modern titles. Super Bomberman Collection is not only a gift for nostalgic fans to relive a glory of the past, but a bridge for new generations to discover how a simple bomb laid the foundations of the video game.

While other compilations are more robust, Super Bomberman Collection is still a blast with its seven games on offer. The solo gamer in you will have fun in smaller sessions, and grab some friends for a local battle or couch co-op (no online play), and you'll have an even better time.

The Super Bomberman Collection is a genuine celebration of the SNES era of Bomberman games. Five amazing games, tons of goodies, what more could you want?
Super Bomberman Collection offers plenty of simple, straightforward fun, whether for a solo player, two players in the campaign, or even four in competitive battles. It features five classic games with useful quality-of-life tools, all beautifully packaged in an impeccable presentation that showcases their history with plenty of extra content, including two NES games as bonuses.

If you have friends or family for local co-op or competitive play, there are a lot of options, stages, and features to explore. While I will continue to bang the drum for thoughtful compilation releases, of which this is definitely one, more online connectivity would have been a great addition to the package. Perhaps best enjoyed in short bursts, Super Bomberman Collection is the best Bomberman release since the Bomberman 64: The Second Attack!.
SUPER BOMBERMAN COLLECTION is bursting with explosive old-school fun that has held up outstandingly well over the decades. Whether you're playing it solo or with a couchful of chums, you'll be in for one superbly entertaining time. 💣
I don’t think it’s a controversial take to believe that Bomberman is one of the most underrated and under-appreciated mascots and characters in all of gaming. You rarely hear about him when people talk about the best franchises in the medium, even when talking about the classics, but Super Bomberman Collection really puts some respect on the franchise’s name.
Super Bomberman Collection is a real treat: the seven titles that make up the collection are great, with a pleasant and beautiful presentation. In addition, the game has a series of interesting audiovisual materials, useful gameplay tools, and a boss battle mode. Even if the multiplayer component could be better, the game is practically a perfect package for long-time fans or those curious to understand why the brand is so famous in the world of video games.

Super Bomberman Collection is almost the definitive compilation of the character. Undoubtedly, most of the best games in the series are present, and the visual adaptations and inclusion of modern features, such as saving and rewinding, make everything even more accessible and fun. However, these are still short and relatively simple games from a franchise that may not be as popular or appealing to those unfamiliar with the character back in the day. Each title should take between one or two hours to complete, but we're talking about a possible 5 to 10 hours of gameplay to beat everything, not counting the NES titles, the Boss Rush mode, and the multiplayer, which remains as fun as ever.

With modern features that respect the current player, but without altering the classic essence, the collection proves that Bomberman's simple, strategic, and chaotic formula remains extremely fun.

Super Bomberman Collection compiles an era that portrays the historical evolution of Bomberman and ultimately defined a gameplay style that would leave its mark: the battle royale. Although the graphical quality varies across the campaigns of the Super Bomberman iterations, we see how the multiplayer took shape until the final installment, incorporating each and every element introduced. We would have loved to see a general cross-platform lobby for the online experience with other users, but sadly, this isn't possible.

The extra content and historical touches are just as impressive. None of it feels tacked on, and every new addition feels like a core part of the overall experience. Konami bringing Super Bomberman back like this is a win, and it’s hard not to be happy about it, even as someone who wasn't very familiar with the series.
While it lacks multiplayer options and missed adding some core titles from the franchise that would’ve made it the perfect pickup for nostalgic fans, Super Bomberman Collection is still well worth checking out.
The Super Bomberman Collection is a wonderful bundle of games, whether you were a Bomberman kid or want to try something new.
