Topic: Belmont Bomber coming to Super Bomberman R

[Dremn]

Coming in a free update with Vic Viper from Gradius and Pyramid Head from Silent Hill as well, also pushes the game to 60 FPS with 4 new stages

awesome (trying to decide if i care about bomberman, haha this doesn't quite justify getting a switch).  i'd be disappointed if he couldn't push boxes or crates.

Perhaps a push to 60fps will make this game playable. It felt really unresponsive when it first came out, although I think I heard they patched some input lag caused by the game (in addition to whatever lag my TV introduces).

That's pretty nice.
I like Bomberman, it was a big surprise when this game was announced.
And now seeing these references... well it gives me some hope.

Even if they're just some references for now, it reminds on how Konami always had a bunch of references to their other games in a lot of games in their glory days.
So I guess that's already nice, it's something to give me some hope.

The update is out today, here's a video showing off Simon Belmont Bomber. He can actually use his whip : o

Next time it will be Snake Bomber with the ability to disguise as a block?

I didn't saw him using the whip in this video, unless you mean the victory animation pose thing.

Oh, now I see it, thanks. Reminds me of Bomberman Party Edition, where you can play as characters that have special abilities in multiplayer VS.

Lol, cute

[redrum]

wow, this is pretty cool!  i like the abilities of each one.
but what's the deal with those voice overs?  James Burton sounds like a doofus...

[TheouAegis]

Wait, is Pyramid Head's ability a melee instant kill?
