About Bomberman

Bomberman starts in 1983 as a maze game about trapping foes with bombs. The Super Bomberman run on SNES from 1993 refines 4 player battles, while Bomberman 64 from 1997 moves into 3D platform stages with new bomb types.

Later branches include Bomberman Hero, the Jetters tie in games, and Act Zero’s darker reboot. Super Bomberman R from 2017 revives the classic formula on Switch, and Super Bomberman R 2 from 2023 adds Castle defense. The canon resets often, so no plot thread runs through all entries.

Good to know

Start with Super Bomberman R if you want modern online play, or Super Bomberman 2 to 5 for the classic party peak. Bomberman 64 suits solo platform fans rather than battle fans. Act Zero can be skipped with no loss. No new mainline game had been dated as of September 2026, so R 2 stands as the latest step.
