This was kind of what I was looking for from Super Bomberman R but now replaying this, I think I had rose-tinted glasses either way.
I do enjoy the core gameplay and I feel like a god when I manage to kick a bomb and stop it just in time to trap an enemy. But at the end of the day, it's overly repetitive and brutally punishing at times.
I will die on a hill that this game was excellent in it's time. Hell, the fact i managed to beat the game and enjoyed the shit out of it as a kid is testament to that. But now less fun to play 20 years later.
I'm extremely curious about whether Bomberman can turn itself around or another studio can pick up the core gameplay loop that this has left behind because there may be something here and I think there could be a market for an innovation. Or maybe game design has just moved on and games like this have been left behind forever, who knows.
