The Windows PC version, which will be available via Steam, is getting P-Body from "Portal" to represent the platform.

Players who got their copy of "Super Bomberman R" via digital pre-order, or by buying a physical copy from retail outlets, will also get Shiny Editions for some of the existing characters, according to Gematsu. All eight of the Bomberman Brothers will have their Shiny counterparts, as well as the Golden Vic Viper Bomber, if for a limited time.
