Ball master!

 

[KaYotiX]

this game would be amazing at a $30 price tag or if they could of bundled it with the switch...it has party/drinking game all over it.

would of been the Wii sports of the Switch. After the video it really has my attention

 

[uncle_koploski]

This would do so much better as a pack in or for like $10.

Nintendo is really messing up goodwill and a word of mouth opportunity with the casual market by selling this at such a high price.

 

[casey_contra]

Can't watch at the moment but did they play Runway? That's what I'm most excited for.

 

[Indelible]

Looks like it might be fun to play while drinking with friends but I don't see this having a long shelf life otherwise.

 

[J@hranimo]

Lmao Drew with the milk game

 

[PeakPointMatrix]

Really missing out on the word-of-mouth-pack-in effect with this launch. Perhaps they're saving it for a holiday bundle when they can meet demand?

 

[Pinky]

When they first showed this during the Switch presentation, it looked like a throwaway title to me.

After watching this video, I now want it!

Packing in a game that's unplayable solo or in handheld mode (save for, uh, Baby) doesn't make sense. Selling it at $10 would probably not produce enough new sales to make up for the lost profit.

 

[Deleted member 10571]

This might have convinced me to get this.

While ignoring the second part of this, I get the feeling Nintendo's PR is on fucking point this time. Visiting Giantbomb with this of all sites is a fantastic decision and will score them a shitton of points with the legit enthusiast crowd.

"And we're going to need the wrist strap for this one!"

 

[WadeitOut]

$60? Where's this 60 bucks at?

*Not for $50

There you go.

How about $50 then?

Spoiler

Nope. Hopefully GameFly starts doing Switch games or there's a sale over the summer.

 

[Unconditional]

I used the Best Buy deal to get 1,2 switch, bomberman, and puyo Tetris for about $27 a pop. That was a reasonable price for me.

 

[Visualante2]

Doubles over complicates dice fake out to the point where kids and drunk people won't even understand why they lost.

 

[Jintor]

i'll be honest.

watching jeff unravel that first treasure box looked dope as fuck.

 

[RazielCuts]

Pff, Nintendo giving special treatment to these guys just because they hired that blink.gif meme guy.

That dastardly Jeff Gershman

What?

 

[Lingitiz]

This looks really fun. Not $50 fun, but hey starved for games at launch it seems like something I might buy.

 

[BlastProcessing]

Sure, but this game is basically the new Wii Sports though (in my opinion of course). It is a showcase for some of the new tech in the console. I think it is silly to not include it in the package or at a lower price point than $50.

I can understand the argument, but from Nintendo's point of view, Wii Sports was a pack in in the US and sold separately in Japan, so they have data on how both strategies worked for them.

I would feel comfortable betting that there will be a 1, 2, Switch bundle by Black Friday.

 

[Ladekabel]

I really want Link to have a video wall tunic in one of the next Zelda games. It looks amazing on the guy's shirt.

 

[Timeaisis]

What deal is that?

 

[EnlightenedMint]

The draws that Jeff and that dude are getting are pretty great.

 

[shouamabane]

Is this on youtube yet?

 

[Fireblend]

That sword game made very little sense to me. Looking forward to Jeff's thoughts.

 

[WadeitOut]

What deal is that?

He means the $25 off $100 with visa checkout. In other words be paid like $75 and he's dividing by 3.

 

[oakenhild]

What deal is that?

Most likely Visa Checkout $25 off $100, combined with GCU.

"Its fun if youre having a party or drinking with friends"

This needs to be on the back of the box if everyone keeps spouting it.

A lot of things are better when youre drunk because youre fucking drunk.

 

[The Technomancer]

This looks a lot better than it did before, but why the hell isn't it a pack in?

Damnit Nintendo

 

[GuitarAtomik]

Yeah, not really feeling it. Maybe for $20 or less.

 

[pizzacat]

Thought it was John Drake for a second there... slightly disappointed.

i got excited

 

[backflip10019]

Jeff looks fucking great.

Wish I could say the same about the game.

 

[Spukc]

Hahah what??

You guys are making me want to start drinking; I feel like I'm missing out on something by not having ever been drunk.

 

[xxracerxx]

Is this on youtube yet?

Yes

edit: wait, maybe not. Their new player made me think it was the YouTube player.

 

[The perfect Dark]

Well, it's a party / multiplayer game obviously. It's not like Wii Sports where you can play against the A.I.
Imo it's more comparable to Mario Party (or Wii Party) which is boring without real opponents.

 

[Zalman]

This video increased my interest in this game by a whole lot. I think I will definitely grab it at some point.

 

[JackDT]

It's so weird that they built a system where the main feature is having a portable screen, and then most of the games don't even use the screen. It's like Wii Sports but just using sound.

Would be cool as a pack in though.

 

[Ullus]

It's great! Until the pain and regret hits.

You can play this game anywhere thanks to the portable console.

Drew puts the rest of giants bomb to shame in the hair category. So shiny

NOLA_Gaffer

wat

 

[wild wild rice]

Those awkward moments when the Giant Bomb guys had to constantly be told how to hold the Joy Con.

 

[Conkerkid11]

Lots of "balls" jokes.

I don't think the Nintendo reps were prepared.

Drew's inability to use a wrist strap though. Wtf man.

 

[FluxWaveZ]

Hahah what??

 

[Dark Cloud]

I don't need to drink to play this game. All I need is two or more people of friends or family to have fun with it.

 

[Hazu]

I would have payed 50$ for Wii Sports or Nintendo Land, but I wouldn't even pay 10$ for 1-2 Switch, there's just not enough content to make it worth buying. :/

 

[NOLA_Gaffer]

NOLA_Gaffer

wat

So because I live in New Orleans means I'm a drunkard?

Way to generalize.

 

[Jasper Avenue]

Jeff's been lifting.

 

[Conkerkid11]

But there's more content in it than Wii Sports and Nintendo Land?

 

[JStein0222]

I think we're being a bit hyperbolic here
