Preorders for the physical edition begin today, with the release scheduled for August 25. This collection includes the five Super Bomberman titles released between 1993 and 1997, some of which were previously exclusive to Japan.

This game introduced mountable characters, such as fish and flying turtles. Super Bomberman 5: The final installment in the series features the evil Emperor Terrorin, who frees eight Bomb Brothers to wreak havoc. The game offers a "choose your own ending" style of gameplay. Bomberman (1985): The original title, offering strategic maze action across 50 stages. Its success led to numerous sequels. Bomberman II (1991): Added a multiplayer mode, setting the stage for future Bomberman gaming parties. The Super Bomberman Collection also enhances player-versus-player gameplay with bonus features. The "Bomb Radio" plays iconic music from the original games. Gallery mode offers approximately 200 character illustrations from the five Super Bomberman titles in the collection.
