Super Bomberman R’s Battle Mode Hurt My Eyes

I spent way too much time blowing up my mates on SNES Bomberman, so an updated version on Nintendo Switch is definitely interesting. The story mode with boss battles and upgraded graphics as shown in the trailer below welcomes the game’s return after so long. Unfortunately, the hands-on demo we played had none of this and focused purely on the multiplayer Battle mode, for which I have mixed feelings.

Firstly, there’s nothing to really differentiate it from previous Bomberman games. Obviously, the concept – be the last man standing – remains, but the power-ups are identical too. Additional bombs, speed boost, increased blast range, the ability to kick bombs… If you’ve played any Bomberman game in the last 20 years it'll be very familar.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a 13.4GB Download on Switch

Zelda: Breath of the Wild will take up 13.4GB of hard drive space on Switch.

It’s worth pointing out the Switch ships with 32GB of internal memory, and some of that space will be taken up by the system’s operating system, meaning Zelda will take up nearly half of the available space. Thankfully, during the Switch reveal, Nintendo mentioned you can expand the storage via microSDXC cards.

Zelda: Breath of the Wild is set to release alongside the Switch console on March 3, 2017. It’ll also be available for Wii U on the same date.

There have been several big announcements regarding Link’s newest adventure in the past few hours. Zelda and Bokoblin will be getting their own amiibo figurines to go alongside the previously-announced Breath of the Wild line-up. There will also be two different special editions for those with a few extra rupees to spare.
