Good news for fans of Super Bomberman R! According to Destructoid, the game has received a patch which significantly improves the game’s frame rate to near 60fps (in both single- and multiplayer) as well as adds four new multiplayer stages to the game.
The full patch notes are as follows:
- Four new VS stages have been added to the shop (White Cross, Lagoon, Max Speed, Power Zone). [See the gallery below]
- Two new series of accessories have been added to the shop (Crowns, Bombs).
- The frame rate of the entire game has been improved. We also made slight adjustments and improved the controls as well.
- Less lags are likelier to happen when every participant in the Online Battle have good network connection. (If you want to find opponents with good connection, set Other > Basic Settings > Network Settings to the very left.)
- Made it possible to press L/R to change the inclination of he map in the Story Mode. Other > Basing Settings will also allow you to fix the camera position as well.
- You can now choose the strength of the COM on the Multiplayer Battle Mode.
- The strength of the Five Dastardly Bombers on the Story Mode have been adjusted.
- The difficulties of Beginner and Normal have been reduced, making it easier to beat them.
- Adjusted the heights and slopes on some maps to improve the visibility.
- If you continue a certain number of times in the Story Mode, you will be able to continue without paying anymore gems.
- Changed the BP (Battle Point) increase/decrease rate for the League Battle.
- Fixed other various small bugs.
Destructoid also mentions that a future DLC update will introduce Konami characters Simon Belmont, Vic Viper, and Pyramid Head to the game.
Given Super Bomberman R‘s lukewarm launch, do you think this patch makes up for it? Does it finally justify the game’s $50 price tag? Let us know by leaving a reply!
