Konami announces Vic Viper, Simon Belmont, and Pyramid Head for Super Bomberman R

Lol thought the same thing. But this is nice too.
They probably ended themselves with Gaist Crusher.
This would be amazing to see and it isn't out of the realm of possibility either (just look at Bomberman's support and numbers). Nintendo seems interested in working with them as well to make things happen.

I love everyone's reaction to Pyramid Head in that picture.

I paid good money for this Dynex!
I am all about this.

This. Page is broken. Is this fake?
Reload Famitsu links to get past the 403.
If Nintendo had the option of funding an MGSV port, would they? Should they? Would it be distasteful?

No thanks. More AA games.

I hope they don't waste money on that.
I'd much rather they fund smaller budget things like maybe a new castlevania, goemon or pop n twinbee. Nostalgia overliad.

Depends on the price, but Konami would have an interest in doing that. Great game, good technical showcase as well, AAA experience, already done.
I don't see Nintendo paying money for Castlevania, but they paid for MGS in the past. That wouldn't be distasteful, different audiences.

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
I'll lose my shit if we get a Yugi Bomberman.
And this is the right answer.
Considering Nintendo already has a few other ex-Konami patriots on speed dial (aka Good Feel, the makers behind Kirby Epic Yarn and Yoshi's Wooly World), I would just hope that they can do more in this vein, where corporate level Ninty and Konami work something out and they just get the right people on the job. Castlevania, Gradius/Parodius, Goemon, anything should be within reach.
While we're at, Nintendo and Konami...SOMEONE PLEASE CALL UP 8ING SO WE CAN GET A NEW FRIGGIN BLOODY ROAR, DAMMIT! Bloody Roar would be a small time fighting game anywhere else, but it just may have a chance of getting legit attention on a platform which likely won't get too many traditional fighting game ports, anyway.

Man, I may have to buy this now.
Konami, what are you doing? It's something beautiful. ;_;
I'm going to have to buy a physical copy of this even without a Switch, just to support this sort of thing. I'd definitely want to play it when I get a Switch regardless.
A glorious new dawn for Konami!
(Not being snarky -- I really want Good Konami to come back!)

Aren't they confirming more characters are coming?
Would rather they contract Treasure for a Gradius R.
Why am I not surprised at the people claiming Konami is shitting on Silent Hill by putting Pyramid Head in this game as a goofy little guest star?
You shouldn't. I'm glad they're giving this game so much support though. I'm tempted to buy it.

When we heard of Super Bomberman R and Street Fighter II on Switch, I thought there is a market for these types of updated retro experiences on Switch if they control the budget.
Konami doesn't seem to want to be involved with huge AAA projects, but hopefully Super Bomberman R will lead to them greenlighting another classic IP on Switch (Goemon, Bonk, or Castlevania please!!!).

60fps and some neat guest characters? I almost want to get it but I still don't want to pull the trigger at its current price. As soon as it goes on sale I'm hitting buy.
I did not know how badly I wanted this until now.
If Konami continues making games like this, I will show my support for them. I'd rather companies like them and Atlus not feel the pressure of creating high budget next gen console games.
I know, right?? Need me some Ebisumaru!!

Shanoa Bomber please, Konami :3
Has Fox Engine been ported to the Switch already? If so, then maybe a MGS collection of some sort might have legs.
Otherwise I concur. Do something AA style with other franchises.
