Super Bomberman Collection review playtest Siliconera

Recent shadowdrop release Super Bomberman Collection brings back some classic Bomberman games, some for the first time outside Japan, and we're happy to see it! But if we've learned anything from modern retro compilations, the quality is extremely dependent on execution. So how does this one do?

The package contains the five Super Bomberman games, all originally released on the Super NES and Super Famicom, as well as two bonus Famicom games. The later Super titles didn't originally release outside Japan and have received localizations here, which is a nice touch! Frankly, though, these are fairly language-agnostic games and you probably would have been fine.

Putting these five games together in one collection might feel a bit redundant! And it is, to a degree. The advantage is in two ways. The first? Historical value. The game makes it easy to look at what power-ups are added in each one, and preserving all five is good regardless. The second is that you can choose your favorite variant. Each of these changes does color the experience, and through either taste or nostalgia, you'll likely have a favorite.

If you're having trouble deciding, though? We'd recommend going straight to 5. It has almost all the things from the other games, and there are options to configure it however! And as such a late Super Famicom game that other staff at Hudson were probably already working on Mario Party during development, it really takes advantage of the hardware. If it drops the ball on anything? Maybe it's aesthetics. It's trying really hard to do a robot/sentai thing in a way that a lot of the selectable characters feel same-y.

It's also true that each of these games has a solo campaign. The franchise's bread and butter is its competitive play, but there's a dedicated group of people who really embrace the single-player arcade levels. And these are good ones! We've spent a while playing, and we are undeniably bad at them but there's a puzzly element to taking on risky opponents in an optimal order.

When it comes to gallery modes in retro compilations, our usual stance is that it's a great effort of preservation! But we don't spend a lot of time with that stuff. Super Bomberman Collection's "unbox" mode feels a lot more robust, though. With the detail and ability to virtually open the box and pull out the manual, it captures a bit more of the nostalgia of the originals.

While it doesn't have built-in functionality for this sort of thing, Super Bomberman Collection takes advantage of system-level multiplayer features like Switch 2's GameShare and Steam's Remote Play Together. How well does it work? Better than you'd think! We spent our time testing it out on Switch 2, and didn't experience any of the frequent connection issues we usually get. What's more, it's the sort of game that can weather some minor hiccups if you get them, and it also doesn't look too bad in the windowed GameShare screen.

Super Bomberman Collection, developed by Red Art Games and published by Konami, is out now on Switch 2, Switch, PS5, Xbox Series and Steam. Physical editions of the game will launch on August 25, 2026.

Player using the Air Horn in Super Battle Golf

Super Battle Golf has several items you'll find along the golf course, and they will help you to raise your chances of victory.

In Super Battle Golf, trying to send the ball into the hole is just one part of the task. You'll also have to stop your opponents from reaching the same ball. Similarly, your opponents will try to do the same. To do so, you (and your opponents) will rely on random items.

Let's look at all the items that you can find inside the game and how they work.

All items in Super Battle Golf

There are 10 items available in the current build of the game. All of them have unique functions, and some of them are extremely useful.

Item How it Works
Air Horn Allows you to distract a player as they're about to take a shot. The distraction results in the player overshooting the ball by a fair distance.
Coffee Provides an immediate speed boost for 10 seconds and allows you to move/shoot quicker.
Dueling Pistol A pistol with a single shot that allows you to stun an enemy. It has a decent range, but missing the shot can be costly.
Elephant Gun A double-barreled rifle that deals a massive stun to the opponent. However, it also inflicts a knockback on the player who shoots the gun.
Electromagnet Creates a shield that lasts between five and seven seconds. The shield blocks all incoming damage and attacks.
Golf Cart Allows you to move faster on the course, and hitting opponents with the car will stun them. It can hold up to eight players, so you can travel with your co-op buddy.
Landmine Plant three explosives at strategic locations on the pitch. Players stepping on them will get stunned and unable to move for a temporary period.
Orbital Laser Allows you to target a specific area with a laser and stun players who're unfortunate enough to get caught.
Rocket Launcher An auto-targeting rocket launcher whose missiles lock onto a target and stun them upon impact.
Spring Boots Allows you to jump forward and cover great distances in quick time.

How to get items in Super Battle Golf

You'll find different purple-colored briefcases lying all around the golf course. Pick them up, and you'll find an item. The item you get will be completely random. You also have a fixed number of slots, so you can't keep stacking an unlimited number of items. Using the items will allow you to stop your opponents and gain an advantage over them.
