Konami explains what the R in Super Bomberman R means

In the past developers have loved appending their games with a suffix that matches the console the game is released on.

So what about Super Bomberman R then? What does the R mean? Do you really want to know? The official Konami social account on Reddit was asked this very question and here’s the reply;

R is a throw back feel for the Devs. to when games could simply have a letter and allow that letter to carry many meanings.
It symbolized Returns & Reborn because this game is such a homage to SNES and SB3.
But it also mean Rangers, to represent the diverse and colorful group of Bomberman characters who patrol the galaxy.

So there you are!
