I'd have been happy with my $50 purchase if the game had shipped without the control lag problems. Instead I traded it in a few weeks back.

I'm bomba at Bomberman.
Still, it's a sentiment I've seen shared a lot on here, Twitter, and Reddit. The new options are great.
We can complain and call out a game if it's broken and unplayable, if the online sucks. But if the developer fixes all those problems I think price should not matter, who decides if a game it's worth 20 bucks intead of 50. It reminds me how some people were calling out splatoon and now ARMS, that those games didn't look complete and should be 20 bucks or free along with a blowjob from Reggie.
Alternative reading: This is how you do your best after a botched launch.
Still, great improvements all the same. But they really should've launched it like this.
Ah, I see. Yeah, the new "Normal" difficulty seems pretty much perfect, IMO. It's decently challenging and a fair bit unpredictable, but it seems manageable. The sweet spot!
Amazon.it. It's the only place where i could find it here in Italy and they only had one left.
Not that the issue is limited to Italy from what i'm hearing though.

I thought the game was worth the $38ish I paid at launch with GCU even though it was kinda pushing it. But now with these improvements I'd say the price is totally fine. It's kinda insane how different the controls are now than they were at launch.
Oh my that sounds terrible.
You wouldn't think, but based on the comments it sounds like this input lag fix is attractive enough to make people buy the game.

I guess you could interpret it that way, but I suspect it's a lot more likely that the comments are "I am interested in bomberman but ignored it because I heard it was broke/30FPS/whatever, but now the problems are fixed so my interest is revitalised" :3
Very true.

I have no problems online. There is an option in settings to play with only people with good connections.

The worst thing about the online IMO is how hard it is to link up with friends to play against other people online. Had to call my friends so we could try entering at the same time otherwise we couldn't join up together. And sometimes it would take multiple attempts. Feels so damn ghetto after playing online with any other modern gaming console.

It's a resolution drop, but that's a small price to pay for 60fps in a Bomberman game. It should have never been less in the first place.

Aha. I don't have the game, how much higher are we talking about? Was it below 30fps before?

It felt below 30, but some of that was cleared up with the 2nd patch that decreased the control latency.

Here's how I feel your statement still falls under value proposition doing it's thing:
"I am interested in bomberman but ignored it because I heard it was broke/30FPS/whatever, but now with this new value proposition
Not that anyone would ever say that, just driving the example home.
Apparently I feel overly semantic today.. :S
Did someone say Vaseline?
Should have used a gif with GSP.
Since launch they fixed the input lag, framerate and the camera. And they're adding new content for free.
I didn't pay $50. It was $40 with GCU which is okay by me.
Wouldn't filtering require more processing power? I took an initial screenshot in Story mode before updating and compared it to an identical post-update shot. The main difference I see is that after looks a little more jagged... and that could be the Switch's lossy snapshot feature to blame.

Filtering would require more processing, but reducing the resolution wouldn't and would also make it a lil more blurry if it was scaled up afterwards :3
That's right, so good thing this isn't Nintendo!

only for their own games, 3rd party games will drop in price
Oh cool, good to hear. Hoping by Christmas there's some good discounts for this.

I knew Nintendo would somehow be blamed for this

All the Saturn, TurboGrafx 16/PC Engine, SNES and NES Bomberman games run at 60, so to say that 60 FPS in a Bomberman game is some kind of anomaly is far from true.

And worse sales. Nobody cares about reviews.
Er, that's the opposite of what I'm saying.
It would've been extremely dumb to miss launch day.
The only reason to miss out on that would be if the game was completely unplayable.
If it launched at this point, a week removed from Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, it would've done a fraction of what it did, even if it had everything from the getgo.

Please bless us Digital Foundry. I need confirmation of resolution and fps from before and after the patch.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
This is exactly how I am thinking

They had to drop the resolution to get 60 fps in a Bomberman game? Seriously?
It looks like it, there's now a softness I didn't see before. But it's still more pleasing than pre patch as it's more fluid and plays better. I wish colors could pop more, but that's an art style preference.
For the first time I spent 1 hour playing it online in one sitting last night. It ran perfectly and made me want to unlock new stages.
