Super Bomberman R heading to Xbox One

Super Bomberman R

Super Bomberman R is heading to Xbox One after an 8-year hiatus on the platform. The last Bomberman title released on an Xbox was in 2010 on the 360.

I remember playing this iconic Nintendo franchise back in the 80s which, led to a number of broken controllers and late nights playing with friends.

While the game isn’t available for pre-order just yet, there is a placeholder on the Microsoft Store at the moment.

Here are the details according to the pre-order page:
