As one of the longest running franchises in video games, Bomberman holds a special place in my heart, and there\u2019s only a handful of entries I\u2019ve never had a chance to play. Do the changes in this follow-up make it stand out among its many historical releases?<\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"We Played Super Bomberman R 2&#039;s New Modes!\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/t8QUYiKaBdo?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>Bomberman as a series has never strayed too far from its tried-and-true formula, and the same goes for Super Bomberman R 2. While I can\u2019t speak to the Story Mode in much detail, we were told that the brand new Castle Mode would feature prominently in it, in addition to the types of boss battles seen in Super Bomberman R. I did run through a few Castle matches during the event and found it to be fairly promising.<\/p>\n<p>Alongside the returning multiplayer options\u2013Standard, Grand Prix, and Battle 64\u2013Castle Mode is reminiscent of Capture the Flag or Fort Knox. Up to eight players are divided into two teams: one defends three treasure chests (this number is adjustable), and the other must retrieve keys scattered about to then seek out and unlock all the chests. To keep things balanced, the defending team would generally consist of a smaller number of members (one or two, maybe three), while the team on offense would have the greater numbers, and for good reason.<\/p>\n<p><center class=\"ilimgl\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nintendoworldreport.com\/media\/60851\/1\/3.jpg\" width=\"500\" alt=\"\"\/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>The chest protectors are imbued with one of three special abilities: a sword slash, a laser shot, or a defensive shield. Collecting power-ups around the map charges up these abilities, which incentivizes both sides to scour the map for pick-ups. As well, little elemental beings called Ellons spawn on the map to further torment the key-seekers, and if that wasn\u2019t enough, the treasure chest locations are generally well fortified with cannons, conveyor belts, and other obstacles and dangers. Unlocking all the chests is by no means an easy task, but there\u2019s an odd mechanic at play for the offensive team. Anyone who successfully unlocks a chest is removed from the match, which is something I truly hope ends up being optional as having to spectate while your teammates play on\u2013rather than continuing to work with them\u2013is a bit of a drag.<\/p>\n<p>I also messed around with the Stage Editor feature, which seems to pair quite well with the Castle Mode. While it will be fun to design your own levels for standard Bomberman multiplayer, coming up with particularly devilish set-ups for defending the treasure chests seems to be the ultimate objective of this creative addition to the package. Personally, I\u2019m hoping we see an expanded assortment of stages for Battle 64, especially given the shutting down of free-to-play Super Bomberman R Online. It was a pleasant surprise to see that the editing tools are fairly intuitive, even if there wasn\u2019t an overabundance of objects and tiles to use in the process, at least at the preview event.<\/p>\n<p><center class=\"ilimgl\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/www.nintendoworldreport.com\/media\/60851\/1\/2.jpg\" width=\"500\" alt=\"\"\/><\/center><\/p>\n<p>Supposing that you already enjoy Bomberman gameplay and want the newest and latest that the series has to offer, you\u2019ll probably dig what Konami has done here. The multiplayer upgrades that come with Super Bomberman R 2 are definitely intriguing, and even though it can be sometimes seen as an afterthought, Story Mode\u2019s use of the Castle variation has me genuinely curious. I also found the new music in this sequel to be an upbeat and energetic upgrade over that of the original. Super Bomberman R 2 releases physically on September 12 and digitally on September 13, so we don\u2019t have long to wait before this lit fuse goes kaboom.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"http:\/\/www.nintendoworldreport.com\/preview\/64604\/super-bomberman-r-2-switch-hands-on-preview\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Designing your own Castle and then bombing it to smithereens.
