And this is a 60$ game, Wtf.
Was this confirmed somewhere along the way today? What a boner killer.
And this is a 60$ game, Wtf.
I'm still skeptical that it's actually $60. Ridiculous if true.And this is a 60$ game, Wtf.
It looks like Konami (is from them, right?) is still crazy.
It's a Konomi game and Konomi is the worst. They've earned our cynicism.This was discussed in the thread itself I believe.
We do not know if the currency is tied to microtransactions or not.
I don't get the issue here. Reminds me of nes/SNES games.
Seems the options are use some of your accrued points to continue in the level where you died or you can start at the beginning of the world in which you died.
Why are people suddenly assuming this will cost real money?
This is NOT a stamina system/used to unlock things. It's just a continue on game over, which uses in-game currency, just like billions of games. Watch the stream. Don't spread misinformation.

Really bizarre for a non-F2P game but it seems in order to continue in Super Bomberman R on Switch you need to spend some kind of ingame currency. They stressed that you can earn it though normal gameplay but I wonder what the possibility of running out and it becoming frustrating without buying more via real money would be?
It really shouldn't surprise anyone if Konami is trying to monetise this though..

Yeah wasn't this already discussed? Even in the video they mention you earn the points through gameplay and is used to purchase cosmetic outfits for your characters.
A game having a in-game currency system doesn't equal monetization.

oh yeah, okay see this is just a regular continue system that costs from your earned points you could've used for cowboy outfits or whatever
this isn't konami fuckery at all, this thread is pointless! crisis averted~
They mentioned it was for the demo.The screenshot listed shows it taking 10 out of 50000 gems. I don't think you'll have to worry about running out if thats the case.
I'm not saying the thread is pointless, but it seems some people are thinking it's a F2P-like "continue to progress" system, which it isn't.

People should really just watch the video, threads like this are what happen when people are taking information without context.

And my interest dropped completely, reaching absolute zero.
Well, we need more info, obviously, but considering it is Konami we are talking about, it isn't that far-fetched to guess that they included micro-transactions. If the game includes micro-transactions (including for things as basic as continuing), I won't buy this game, period.
OP should really just post the video in the OP if he doesn't want people to take things out of context.
Even if it isn't a premium currency, why the fuck would you even do this?
It has to be tied to a premium currency, even if it's also earnable through game play.
This is Konami.

Think of it like having a set of continues that you can also use to buy clothes for your character.
it's an old school series, video even says there' sa (semi) old school penalty, as it were, for continuing
would some of ya'll be thrown off if there was a point score too?
that's literally what it is, based on the video OP's screencap comes from...yet here we are

But there's nothing old school about Konami's current management. Did you not play MGS5?
It's not to continue accessing the game, it's just to continue playing without starting over.
You earn coins in Mario to gain more lives, you earn gems here to spend on continues. It really seems like the same thing to me.
Some people refuse to acknowledge what we're saying unfortunately :/

What do you mean?It's like all the most misguided concepts in the industry over the last 10 years are being distilled into this console.
Konami? Whatever happened to hudson?
Thank you, I was legit worried i'd have to cancel my preorder for the first game since dead series Bomberman JettersThis is NOT a stamina system/used to unlock things.

I did, and it's awesome. My favorite game of that year. This will be awesome too. Are you trying to say Konami makes awesome games?
