The latest patch for Super Bomberman R is now available on the Nintendo Switch. Update 1.4 adds new characters, new stages, bug fixes and more to the latest entry in the Bomberman franchise.
To download the update, make sure your Switch is turned on and connected to the internet. All you should have to do is turn on your system and start the game to begin the download and installation of the patch.
Some highlights of the patch include three new characters, each inspired by different games. The characters include a Silent Hill Pyramid Head guy, a Castlevania Simon Belmont character and even a character made to look like the spaceship from Gradius . There are also four new stages to buy and a new game mode. The game mode, Team Battle, sees players break up into groups. The team with the last members still standing wins the match.
With the addition of the four new levels, there are now 16 different areas to get your Bomberman on. There are now a total of 17 characters to choose from.
