Doubt they care that much about the Visa checkout deal. Pricing still sucks but I'm still going to buy it.

I really hope Switch games support Download Play, but I strongly suspect they won't.
Bomberman for DS supported 8 players off of a single cart. It's going to be very hard to justify spending full price for a version of Bomberman that can't even match the features of a game released in 2005.
I don't care about online, especially since it will cost money, but Switch could be such a great local multiplayer machine, and Nintendo seems to be positioning it as such, but without Download Play stuff like local Bomberman 8 player would be even worse than expecting people to buy 4 copies of Federation Force so they can play the local multiplayer.

Erm. If you have friends with a Switch each, just set up one in tabletop mode and sync the joycons?

But I guess the hyperbole is strong with this one.

Potentially doable, but squeezing 8 people round a single switch screen is a tough sell when you could have (at worst) 2 people to each h of four screens.
I agree that without download play it's still a step down from the DS bomberman games in that regard.

It is only two players per Switch I believe. I say this in an article somewhere.

I wouldn't read too much into that. They respond to a tweet asking about local multiplayer, not download play.
We know you can use multiple controllers to play locally, either docked or undocked, with one cartridge.

I played Bomberman DS in college with 7 other students off of 1 cart. Download play is a feature I'd love to see, even if it was limited in scope to keep the download time short.

It's Super Bomberman-style where you go through a board to get to the next gate.
4GB so the game could almost fit entirely in RAM, so little to no loading right? That's pretty cool.
I don't like the obvious focus test style of development this game has taken. "Photo real graphics!" Bomberman doesn't need this. "All star voice acting!" Bomberman doesn't need this. It's never what Bomberman was about, or what made it successfull in past generations.
And ugh at 30fps.
At least they nailed everything else by the looks of things! That makes me happy.
Maybe the next one they make the ingame graphics look the same as the charming box art and nail 60fps for a truly polished and perfect Bomberman.
Never settle for good enough when it can be better!

It's baby steps, man. Konami's continuing to learn not to completely fuck it up on this one.

20 seconds between rounds for a BM game is pretty ridiculous.

Am I the only who realizes the description was supposed to be funny or what
Other very bad comments:
~ "Splatoon 2 ... not my world. Too colorful."
~ [About the ProCcontroller]: "Almost a too classic sight at this event and also a very rare picture."

Um excuse me they are called LOUIES.
Yeah, you're probably right. But it's Konami in 2017. I'd like confirmation.
Well if they don't outright say it I'll let you know next week.
Even the WiiWare and DSiWare iterations had random matchmaking, so I'm 100% certain this will have it.

Yeah, but this is actually HudsonSoft in 2017 - while the game is a Konami game, the team that made the game was made up of former employees of HudsonSoft.

I have answers to some of your questions, but they're not going live for a couple of days. I will say this about the online, though: Battle Mode uses an online lobby system.
Can you atleast tell us 30 or 60?
could you please PM me your thoughts on frame rates? i understand if you can't, thank you!
