I wonder if I'll spot a bunch of used copies of Bomberman in the fall.................
I can't justify buying a Switch just to play it but damn is it tempting
It's topping off the charts of different e-shop regions.

Look, even Knack sold well.
Konami?
Like some of us have been saying...3rd party exclusives.
The multi platform may come if it continues to sell will. But IMO it needs 3rd party exclusives.
Great to see Snipperclips find that kind of success. It's really a fantastically crafted experience that's a perfect fit for the console.
To everyone else this is probably so random, but I couldn't be more behind this. There's not a single game I'd want more.

Man that's damn good for Bomberman. Especially as I bet that budget was tiny

Capcom and Namco are almost always there early for Nintendo hardware launches so this is like the worst possible time for them to have been caught sleeping :/

It's certainly a smaller title meant to round out the digital offerings, but it's one of the most fun experiences I've ever had playing couch co-op. I've busted it out to play with work friends on the go and everyone cannot stop laughing and shouting. I think they should do another one someday with even more content and modes.
Knack was bundled to hell and back. Bomberman is at 500k in just a month, without bundles.

Ultra Street Fighter II?
Forget that. Give me a 2D or 2.5D Castlevania.

Castlevania is a given, but man, I hadn't considered portable Gradius yet.
Of Knack, sure. Heck, every PS4 in Japan came with it at launch. And the joke of it outselling Mario 3D World in the UK charts was because retailers started giving it away with every PS4.
NA was like the only place without a bundle.
It was bundled with all PS4s in Japan at launch.
Oh hell ya baby.
Castlevania R
Silent Hill R
Goemon R
Adventure Island R
Bonk R
Bloody Roar R.
My body can't be more reggie than this.^^

If you own Bomberman but not Puyo Puyo Tetris, sell your Switch.

Capcom missed out with they dumbass
imo, I thought bomberman would do well from the outset and this will bomb.
it had to be closer to launch. The appeal will be a lot less post Mario Kart 8, post initial launch hype, and post a few other small games. again, imo.

Great numbers, but I do hope Snipperclips gets some more sales. Game is fantastic, definitely wouldn't have figured my college classmates would be egging me every thursday to bring my Switch so they could play the co-op mode. Can't wait to get my next 2 joycons, gonna be a blast with MK8D and Snipperclips

Have both.
Switch is local multiplayer king. Can't wait for Mario Kart, Street Fighter and NBA Playgrounds next month.

350k for Snipperclips is pretty impressive. I hope its success means Nintendo will work to publish more unique games from indie developers in the future.
Also, man was Capcom dumb for not having Street Fighter at or very near launch.

Good job Bomberman. Glad he's back.
Man Capcom should've had SFII at launch, I think its not gonna do so hot in May.
(actually should've had a different game ready)

Eh, I'm getting it but I doubt that it will have the kind of impact that Bomberman has had. They could have launched with CapVsTatsu2 and made everyone cream their pants but they chose to come with a nearly ten year-old enhanced port of SSF2HD instead.

Man Capcom and Namco really look dumb now lol.

I really really hope this bodes well for the platform. They've got something here if they can ride it

Capcom isn't in any position to take risks.
Err.. probably. It sold 500,000 copies. It would be strange if you didn't see used copies.
Or is this an agenda post?

Holy shit Bomberman at $50 shipped half a million in a month despite the lackluster reviews...

How is putting a game out for launch a risk?
They could of been in Konami's position but naw.

Ultra Street Figter 2 is going to do much MUCH better than people here think. My local Podunk Gamestop has like 30 preorders according to my buddy that works there.
Even a simple Megaman R would be huge money maker lol.

Capcom post if you are OK.
Narrator: Capcom didn't post.
