Konami celebrates Super Bomberman R reaching 1 million sales milestone
- Thread starter ggx2ac

I don't think it will bomb.
But yeah i'd have much preferred a new Silent Hill instead: even Wii had one, so come on.
It was one of the first games I bought on my switch.
It's... I mean it's bomberman, there's nothing special, but that's the charm right? It's just bomberman, 8 player. It's good fun.

This game is such a success story: went from being okay at launch to being massively improved via free QOL updates. And it revived Bomberman in the process!
Well-deserved. Looking forward to the inevitable sequel.

This is really great news. I've loved this franchise since the beginning and was shocked to see it as a launch title for Switch. Bomberman was the first game I popped in my Switch, and while it wasn't great at launch, they've sure worked to improve it over time to the point where it's a great entry in the series.
Hopefully this inspires Konami to continue the series, though my dream is that Nintendo takes over all the old Hudson franchises. Imagine: Nintendo-made Bomberman, Star Soldier, Adventure Island...BONK...
As an aside, seeing people shit on this thread because Bomberman sold well and people enjoy it is...interesting?

Nintendo exclusive? Probably not but I guess it's likely the next entry won't miss Switch, if there's one...
What I don't get, wasn't Nintendo supposedly important in making this game coming to existence?
Yeah according to Siliconera:

But in the same way Sony did with Crash I guess. Also the bit about former Hudson folks working on SBR seemed false since the credits showed like none IIRC. There were a few KojiPro folks though.
wut, this game is out on other platforms now? that was stealthy.
is it complete on disc now? any legit reviews out there for the complete game? thoughts?

I want him as a character ;(
Also hopefully this leads to new Bomberman games more often.
Not enough for them to bring another game worth having to the console.
Konami doesn't have much to offer right now, but I think we'll see more support in the future.
It came out recently for XB1 and PS4, after having a period of timed-exclusivity on the Switch.
I wonder if it's significant that an IP previous flooded with low quality games taking a break and making its fanbase miss them suddenly received a successful title.
Back in the 00s you could find criticism of Mega Man's stagnation with a stone's throw.

It makes complete sense. The series is all about On-site Procurement.
Proof that Konami > Kojima.Oh but it's ALL related, my friend! :D
See now this is misleading because actually going to the store page shows that people are more upset that the port is bad and nobody can get online.Or maybe it's just you ;)
Reviews are bad. Sales outside of Switch also bad.
Super Bomberman R was mediocre at launch but has had a lot of improvement and support since then and while it's not the Bomberman 64 successor some people wanted it's a good return to form for Bomberman.
Numbers aren't everything and an important part of knowing what a review is saying is to actually read it. Metacritic reviews are obviously going to be based on the Launch version of the game and Steam got a bad port, doesn't mean things haven't changed for the original version or that the game is bad period just because of a bad port.
Silent Hill? You can forget about this. They're done with traditional console games, it's pretty clear from their Q1 FY2019 report:

unless you want Silent Hill mobile or Silent Hill BR, of course :)
