Per the title, Konami posted a community survey on the official Bomberman Twitter/X account, and the meat of it is about retro entries in the series.
Since Bomberman is a franchise that very much deserves a retro collection but somehow hasn't gotten one yet (it's by far the biggest and most influential of the series that Konami took in when they absorbed Hudson Soft in 2012), I can't help but think that this might lead to one, hence why I'm excited enough that I felt a need to post about it here.
The two arcade titles that Irem made under license from Hudson, plus Neo Bomberman, aren't mentioned, which is unfortunate but expected, since those would obviously present some licensing issues that'd be more trouble than they're worth.
Other than that, if a retro collection really is what this survey is for it should turn out solid.
Anyway, seriously though, they mentioned games in the survey that have never seen a re-release to date, some of which richly deserve one - this includes the Nintendo 64 titles.

The survey even mentioned Bomberman 64: The Second Attack!, which is one of my favourites in the entire series, and which truly deserves a second chance.

(We both know, in a bomberman you vs me game, you going to lose!)
Never happened yet, my friend!
Still, yeah, with any luck this will lead to a new-but-old release at some point.
