omg Bomberman is a success! Incoming Bomberman pachinko soon!

 

[Stone Ocean]

OK Konami, now bring back Castlevania...

Spoiler

64 style!

Shhh, don't let people know Legacy of Darkness is actually good.

 

[Theonik]

I can only wonder what was capcom thinking by not having a port of the new MonHun for Switch.

Cheaper and it will sell better on 3DS.

 

[hemo memo]

Your loss, the game is worth it

To you. It's not worth it for that price when I have Mario Kart 8D and Zelda:botw and Persona 5 and and buying Nier:A soon so by the time I finish all of them I can buy it at a lower price.

Interesting game but the price is high and not my opinion alone if you read reviews. You're not wrong, it's just worth it at that price for you and not worth it for me.

Not my loss.

 

[olimpia84]

So current must have Switch eshop titles:
Bomberman R
Snipperclips
FAST RMX?

Anything else out now?

Snake Pass, Wonder Boy and Kamiko

 

[efyu_lemonardo]

Bomberman is also a retail release.

I'd add Wonder Boy to that list.

eshop only? Yeah, Wonder Boy. And Shovel Knight.

Replace Bomberman with Monster Boy and Snake Pass.

Snake Pass, Wonder Boy and Kamiko

Very solid launch lineup, frankly.

 

[Nesther]

Soooo, does this mean Bomberman confirmed for Smash?

 

[Stone Ocean]

Yeah, considering the stock situation in Japan, Monhun is better off waiting a bit so people have consoles to actually play it on.

Not yet played it myself, but I've heard good things about Blaster Master Zero.

Is it a remake like overdrive or a new installment?

He better be there.

 

[OfficerRaichu15]

Well looks like the big 3 will be be 1 million or more sellers.
I know Zelda dwarfs them but still....

 

[mclem]

Digital Foundry (because they liked the amusing idea of comparing a Switch game with an approximate NES equivalent!) described it as a 're-imagining'

I believe it's a fundamentally new game that treads the same plot beats as the original title. Based on the accompanying artwork, I'm assuming it's the Japanese storyline (which is in itself somewhat different from the US one, no "your pet frog fell down a hole in your back garden" there!)

Unfortunately, I'm not well-versed enough in the series to give a more concrete answer than that.

 

[Interfectum]

Port the Suikoden series to Switch plz

 

[sixteen-bit]

I hope this success means FucKonami will resurrect more Hudson properties like Star Soldier and Bloody Roar.

 

[Fularu]

It's your loss because judging by past good Bomberman games, this one will probably get more expensive once Konami moves on and stops producing it when the sales slow down.

Your "cheap" window of opportunity qull be prety small

VOEZ and World Exploration Machine seem to not have been mentioned yet. Portable mode mainly for these two.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

I wonder if Konami and Bomberman doing so well, will allow for more Konami games to come to Switch?

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Worldwide? What the fuck you smoking? It'll do that in Japan alone

Hell yeah worldwide.

 

[Busaiku]

Didn't realize that Snipperclips was developed by a small U.K. studio. Cool that Nintendo partnered with them.

You mean Capcom.

Spoiler

Konami

 

[-shadow-]

Hope they'll update Snipperclips with more stages. I finished the game a few days after launch and was like: "That's it?"

 

[Coffinhal]

When you have so little Library, huge hardware sales and issues of stock for Zelda, people tend to buy ohter softwares

 

[Falchion]

The only one I bought of those was Snipperclips and it was excellent.

 

[WhiteWaterM00se]

I wouldn't mind some metal Gear Solid collection on Switch, Vandal Hearts, Snatcher, Pro Evo, YuGiOh, silent hill hd remake, and Suikoden would all be good also.

A Castlevania Souls game would be really good.

 

[TheDinoman]

Was originally gonna ignore Bomberman, but seeing the patch that just came out and all the improvements it got, I might have to give it a shot when I get my Switch later this year.

 

[frankie_baby]

Hell yeah worldwide.

Hahahaha sorry

 

[Linkstrikesback]

Digital versions mostly stop that from being a problem. There will be digital sales down the line at some point, even if the retail card never gets printed again.

 

[OrbitalBeard]

Is it a remake like overdrive or a new installment?

A full remake, with tons of new content added. It's a very good game . Overdrive was horrible.

 

[Living Proof]

VOEZ and World Exploration Machine seem to not have been mentioned yet. Portable mode mainly for these two.

What is this?

They're not removing the game from the eShop and it'll go down in price because it looks low-mid budget.

You see the value in that price but I don't.

No one is wrong here.

 

[Real Hero]

When you have so little Library, huge hardware sales and issues of stock for Zelda, people tend to buy ohter softwares

Those other software are still part of the library

 

[jariw]

What is this?

Nothing. I was on the mobile and got the name completely wrong.

Graceful Explosion Machine.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

Hahahaha sorry

Unlike Capcom I have to set low expectations.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Great that all these games are doing well despite 1-2 Switch looking like an abomination.

 

[10k]

Almost one million for 1-2 Switch? Whew.

 

[Schnozberry]

Great that all these games are doing well despite 1-2 Switch looking like an abomination.

Tell that to my 6 year old. She's poured hours into it with her friends.

 

[Jaded Alyx]

USFII will sell more than 500k WW

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Tell that to my 6 year old. She's poured hours into it with her friends.

That's fine. It still looks horrendous.

 

[Calamari41]

Tell that to my 6 year old. She's poured hours into it with her friends.

Excuse me, but I saw a couple of commercials for it and part of the Direct and I can assure you that your daughter and her friends are not having fun with this game.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Excuse me, but I saw a couple of commercials for it and part of the Direct and I can assure you that your daughter and her friends are not having fun with this game.

I've tried it. I didn't like it at all. People can enjoy whatever they want. You don't need to take my opinion personally.

 

[ElBoxyBrown]

BOOKMARKED.

Spoiler

I won't bookmark.

 

[Red Devil]

Surprised 1-2 Switch is that high, glad Bomberman appears to be doing well.

Soooo, does this mean Bomberman confirmed for Smash?

Hopefully.

 

[AColdDay]

Could it be....

Let them hate. 1 2 Switch is a blast everytime we have guests come over, and my kid loves playing it so we've gotten our money's worth out of it.

 

[Schnozberry]

That's fine. It still looks horrendous.

It's a fun party game, especially for people who don't mind embarrassing themselves. I think the biggest mistake they made was pricing. I think if it was $10 cheaper people wouldn't have broken out their soapboxes.

 

[BajiBoxer]

Exactly what I was gonna post. 1-2 selling better than Snipperclips is a bit of a disgrace.

Bundles. Seen a lot of bundles with 1-2 paired with Zelda.

 

[Calamari41]

I've tried it. I didn't like it at all. People can enjoy whatever they want. You don't need to take my opinion personally.

I have no dog in the hunt and am not taking anything personally, as I am not interested in the game to begin with, but you can't really hide behind "we all have our own personal tastes, it just wasn't for me" when you say it "looks like an abomination," implying that you haven't tried it. People are allowed to rib you for stuff like that. Nobody would have reacted if you led with this reasonable post.

Was (maybe still is) available at about 30 quid in the uk, i bought it still not got round to playing yet

 

[Zalman]

I would love to see a Snipperclips expansion along with a retail release. I think that could make it an even bigger success.

 

[ElectricBlanketFire]

People are allowed to rib you for stuff like that. Nobody would have reacted if you led with this reasonable post.

My implication was that based on how it looks combined with mixed/negative reviews and lack of buzz, I wouldn't have expected it to do well. I want the Switch to do well, so I'll take all the successes it can get even if I don't personally like some of it.
