Bomberman Games

At this point, you have to say that Bomberman is gaming royalty! That is why here at Gamefabrique we have this very special section of the site dedicated to some of the very best Bomberman games! We have all the action you could want and to try and help you decide which one of these games you should play, we have cherrypicked a few of the best and most interesting games from the Bomberman series that we are 100 percent certain you will have an awesome time with.

Truth be told we could have picked any of the main games in the series that were released on the Super Nintendo, but we are highlighting Super Bomberman 2 as it took what was great about the first game and made it even better. You can play on your own or with three other people in what is one of the most fun and competitive Bomberman games of all time. Trying to get that glove so you can throw the bombs and hopefully become the golden bomber was incredible.

We are sidestepping from the Super Nintendo here as we look at the first time Bomberman showed up on a Sega console with Mega Bomberman on the 16-bit Sega Genesis/Mega Drive. This is a very classic style of Bomberman game, but there is a real twist here that makes it so much fun. To start with, it features different styles of Bomberman to play as such as a big fat one, an old dude, and a robot! A huge appeal of this game is that during battles, eggs will appear, and if you grab one, you get a kangaroo to ride on, and each kangaroo has its own special ability.

While there is the classic Bomberman 64 if you are looking for Bomberman games that are more “traditional”. However, we want to highlight another Nintendo 64 Bomberman title and that is Bomberman Hero. There have been many spin-off games in the Bomberman franchise over the years, but this one is rather special as it is a 3D action platformer. Granted it is not at the level of something like Mario 64, Banjo Kazooie, or Donkey Kong 64, but it is still a fun platformer and one of the more interesting side games from the Bomberman franchise.

Ok, so Bomberman Online has been greatly surpassed as we have had many other online Bomberman games over the years. However, we cannot overstate how much of a big deal this game was when it was released on the Dreamcast. Bomberman was always seen as a game that you needed to be sitting in the same room with people to play. However, Bomberman Online showed that this was a game that could have a very bright online future.

Super Bomberman R was one of the more notable launch titles for the Nintendo Switch. You could argue that after The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, this was the only other essential launch title. It may have been rather barebones at launch; it was greatly supported with more content and they even added in some extra characters from different video game franchises which is a lot of fun. It has also been released on other platforms since its debut on the Switch and it is a pretty solid Bomberman game and one that is well worth giving a try.

While there are some people that are only interested in the Bomberman games that are all about the classic battle action. As you can see from our list of the best Bomberman games that we have here at Gamefabrique there are some very interesting and fun spin-off games that can be a lot of fun too.
