Super Bomberman R

Super Bomberman R (スーパーボンバーマン R, Sūpābonbāman R, in Japanese) is an entry in the Bomberman series developed as a launch title for the Nintendo Switch as a timed exclusive, then later ported to other consoles in June 2018. It is the first console Bomberman entry since 2010's Bomberman Live: Battlefest.

The development team was made up of former Hudson Soft staff, who were taken on the project after Nintendo approached Konami.

Plot
The evil Emperor Buggler reawakens the Five Dastardly Bombers, and uses them to seize control of the five planets of the Starry Sky Solar System. He welcomes anyone who disagrees to challenge the Five Dastardly Bombers themselves. White Bomber takes his seven not-so-enthusiastic brothers and sisters with him on his quest to defeat the Buggler Army and save the universe!

Characters
All main Bombermen are playable and feature new unique personalities among them. Despite being called the Bomberman Bros., Pink and Aqua are female. The Five Dastardly Bombers and Buggler return as the main villians of the game, the latter features a more humanised look.

The vast majority of characters are available for purchase through an in-game shop. The Five Dastardly Bombers become available after completing the main story mode of the game, and each one has their own unique abilities. Every platform the game has been released on has an exclusive character tied to it. Additionally, many characters hailing from either past Hudson Soft or Konami IP have been released as free updates.

On patch 2.1, characters were classified into 5 types: bomber, attack, speed, assist or unique.
