Super Bomberman R just updated to version 1.3, and the changes are huge. Since this action-maze game was released for the Nintendo Switch on March 3, players have complained about latency and other control issues. Version 1.2 delivered on addressing these problems, and 1.3 continued with these game improvements — as well as adding a lot more to the game.
Konami tweeted about the changes on Friday, one day after the patch’s release:
