  • The collection features a well-curated selection of classic Bomberman games, including newly translated titles that were previously unavailable in English.
  • The presentation is polished, with detailed menus, 3D recreations of game boxes, and a music player, showcasing the love and effort put into the compilation.
  • The inclusion of features like rewind, save states, and a comprehensive art gallery enhances the overall experience, making it a nostalgic and enjoyable trip down memory lane.
  • The lack of online multiplayer and remote play options limits the ability to enjoy the games with friends, which is a significant drawback for a party game series.
  • There are known emulation issues, particularly with VSync causing the games to run too fast on monitors above 60Hz, leading to audio desynchronization and gameplay problems.
  • Some users have reported minor inaccuracies in emulation, such as speed discrepancies and audio glitches, which detract from the overall experience.
  • music
    19 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the Bomberman collection has received praise for its nostalgic quality and the effort put into its presentation, including a dedicated music gallery and the ability to listen to tracks from all five games. While the soundtrack is generally well-regarded, some users noted minor issues with audio sync and speed in certain titles. Overall, the compilation showcases a strong commitment to preserving and celebrating the franchise's musical heritage, enhancing the experience for both new players and long-time fans.

    • “From the menus to the art gallery and music, this is a fantastic collection. I can't thank Konami enough for giving Bomberman another chance, from a Bomberman fan like myself who has loved the franchise for a long time, especially his 90's era.”
    • “This series also has pretty good music; Jun Chikuma is really good at her job.”
    • “There is a gallery with high-resolution concept art, organized per game, and also a music player complete with a dancing Bomberman. Everything about the presentation is very polished and well done.”
    • “Most notably, Super Bomberman 3 seems to be running a tiny bit too fast, to the point where the intro cutscene music gets cut off by the fadeout (when the music actually finishes along with the cutscene on original hardware) plus some other very minor things.”
    • “Second is audio sync issues when VSync is on. I don’t know if it’s the emulators or what, but for some reason when you reverse these games, audio completely messes up for the NES 'bonus' games where sounds and music will bug out weirdly, and the SNES games are just weird as there’s just delayed audio.”
    • “I do wish that I could listen to the music player while tabbed out of the game while I work on things.”
  • story
    5 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story varies across different regional manuals, with the Japanese version offering a more detailed narrative compared to the truncated US version, while the European manual provides an accurate translation. Additionally, the story supports cooperative gameplay, making it a strong choice for couch co-op experiences, and it has a surprising depth that extends into the 90s and beyond, culminating in GameCube reboots.

    • “The story is co-op (P1 + P2), so this is an excellent couch co-op title as well as a party game.”
    • “The Japanese manual has a longer story for at least SB1, along with things like enemy names, and the US manual truncates the plotline a bit (though interestingly, the European manual's storyline is an accurate, line-by-line translation).”
    • “The Japanese manual has a longer story for at least SB1, along with details like enemy names, while the US manual truncates the plotline a bit. Interestingly, the European manual's storyline is an accurate, line-by-line translation.”
    • “I think that's a weird thing to point out, but there is a surprising amount of story that continues up through the 90s until, I believe, the GameCube reboots.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay of the Bomberman series is praised for its action-packed nature and engaging puzzle elements, with classic titles offering a nostalgic and satisfying experience that newer iterations struggle to replicate. The collection's pricing is considered excellent, providing great value for the number of games included, while the retro gameplay is noted for its solid feel and replayability. Overall, fans appreciate the snappier mechanics of older titles compared to the clunkier 3D models of more recent games.

    • “The games are action-packed and there's a puzzle element in the gameplay.”
    • “I think the way the collection is priced is excellent when you look at the amount of Super Bomberman games you get and the fact that these are retro games with such solid feel-good gameplay, that you'll probably boot it up many times.”
    • “We've seen many newer Bomberman games and other games trying to replicate the gameplay, but they never managed to create the same great look and feel as these classics.”
    • “We've seen many newer Bomberman games and other titles trying to replicate the gameplay, but they never managed to create the same great look and feel as these classics.”
    • “I am also a fan of Super Bomberman R and its all incarnations (Battle 64 was genius), but these older titles and their snappier gameplay against clunky 3D models are my favorite.”
    • “The games are action-packed, and there's a puzzle element in the gameplay.”
  • monetization
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    • “The monetization in this game feels excessive and detracts from the overall experience.”
    • “I can't believe how many microtransactions are crammed into this game; it feels like a constant push to spend more money.”
    • “It's frustrating to see a game that could be great overshadowed by its aggressive monetization strategies.”
  • stability
    3 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

  • graphics
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game are noted for their stylistic differences from Super Bomberman, with some comparisons to the Neo Geo Bomberman, which features enhanced aesthetics. Overall, players appreciate the visual elements, including the music and sound, contributing to an enjoyable experience.

    • “It is stylistically different from Super Bomberman, which may be part of why, but then you have the Neo Geo Bomberman, which would also be an amazing cut that is aesthetically quite similar to Super Bomberman, but amped up on the art.”
    • “I am not just happy to play these games again, but also to experience the stuff that we never got in the West: the music, the sound, the graphics—it's all good fun.”
  • optimization
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative
