Love it.

 

[GregLombardi]

Bestest box.

 

[-shadow-]

I'm pretty certain we've already seen this multiple times. But man I can't wait. It seems like a blast!

Spoiler

Pun semi intended.

 

[Takeda Kenshi]

Hoping that this will be considered standard Switch box art moving forward. Really missed stuff like this.

 

[TimEKish]

Holy cow that looks SUPER Japanese.
I love it.

 

[Flying Toaster]

Looks good I am glad this is a day one game.

 

[Vital Tundra]

I JUST noticed they all have a different belt buckle.

 

[Tagyhag]

Gorgeous box, hopefully the game is good.

Spoiler

Possibly, but this is a live box with game inside. Wasn't sure if this specific box was posted.

 

[Oregano]

One of my four launch games!

 

[sixteen-bit]

inside pics?

 

[Stopdoor]

I wonder why the 1-4 on the Tabletop mode vs. TV mode?

 

[lyrick]

Is there not a way to tell if it's online by the box art (beyond the" online interactions not rated by ESRB" print) , or is there a Nintendo Network logo under the Bomberman 33rd sticker?

 

[goldenpp72]

I'm a bit confused, you can only do 4 people on the tablet screen or am I misreading that? Not that I planned on huddling 8 people around a 6 inch screen, just threw me off considering the kind of game it is.

I don't think there's anything on the box but it definitely has online.

 

[LuciusAxelrod]

I wonder why the 1-4 on the Tabletop mode vs. TV mode?

I would think that the 8 player maps are larger and the characters would be too small for the game to be enjoyable on a tiny Switch screen.

 

[Shogun_of_Truth]

No shot of the case spin? for shame

 

[blame space]

might as well gut it so we can see if it has the reverse cover art

 

[Spukc]

I wonder why the 1-4 on the Tabletop mode vs. TV mode?

RESOLUTION? oh and 8 people looking at a small screen common my man

 

[Lothars]

Love that, It has such nice box art. I will have to get it just for the box art eventually.

 

[mrklaw]

Why not 1-8 in handheld - no ad-hoc multiplayer?

 

[muteki]

I wonder why the 1-4 on the Tabletop mode vs. TV mode?

Fitting 8 people around a table to play off one Switch's screen can't be comfortable.

 

[VegaShinra]

Why not 1-8 in handheld - no ad-hoc multiplayer?

You can link up Switch units for 8 player local multiplayer.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

I refuse to let Konami dictate my comfort level.

 

[greelay]

As others have said, the box is the best thing about this game.

Still debating whether or not I will pick this up.

 

[wondermega]

Is it known if you can play 2 player on a single unit (1 joycon per player)?

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Is it known if you can play 2 player on a single unit (1 joycon per player)?

You can play up to 4 in table top mode, 8 in TV mode.

 

[Z O N E]

I wonder why the 1-4 on the Tabletop mode vs. TV mode?

Resolution, 8 people on that small screen?

My main guess is that because the Switch doesn't use all the power in portable mode, it doesn't have enough power to have 8 split screens.

 

[PumpkinSpice]

Why is everything in this thread sideways?

 

[Jaded Alyx]

Bomberman doesn't use split-screen...

It's more likely that it's not practical to have 8 people crowded around a tiny screen.

Screen doesn't split. Its only rendering one instance of every bomber. They probably just didn't think it was ideal to have 8 people for 1 tiny screen.

 

[Darklor01]

What is "Doon!"?

 

[bobbychalkers]

Boxart of the year contender.

 

[jluedtke]

Damn, I'm loving the box art for Switch games.

 

[sk3tch]

Posters live at teh equator.

 

[Flying Toaster]

Boxart of the year contender.

I would usually say that we are not even into March this is madness. But the boxart is wicked awesome.

 

[USC Trojan]

Looks like a vita box. We have size comparisons?

 

[greelay]

I think zelda has it beat, or at least the NA version.

 

[Oregano]

Looks like a vita box. We have size comparisons?

They're very close to PSP boxes.

 

[UCBooties]

Looks like a vita box. We have size comparisons?

I was just thinking how much it reminded me of a PSP game box. Ah memories...

 

[Stopdoor]

Fitting 8 people around a table to play off one Switch's screen can't be comfortable.

It seems like it'd be easier to just let the game support the same gameplay between all modes and let players decide if it's a good idea or not.

It's weird to me they'd limit it by mode at a software level. Especially specifying handheld mode as "1" - I thought it'd already been confirmed you can wireless 8 them together for this game? If that doesn't imply higher than "1", it seems like nothing would... ?

The tabletop mode being 1-4 might imply 4 Switches can LAN in that mode? I'm pretty sure they've confirmed you can play 8 people between 4 Switches on Konami's website.

Seems like a really confusing section of information overall. Lots of ambiguity.

 

[Sir_Crocodile]

Possibly, but this is a live box with game inside. Wasn't sure if this specific box was posted.

yep

even seen the inside

 

[USC Trojan]

They're very close to PSP boxes.

Now that you mention it, I can't unsee it.

Almost identical from the pic.

 

[Karspankey]

That's some nicely crisp art; I love it.

 

[Darklor01]

Love the box art. The inside reminds me of Dig Dug though.

 

[wrowa]

How about some Just Dance?

Not very interesting at all, but it was fun to see that a local store is already selling it.

 

[eyesradar]

beautiful box art

 

[Aostia]

I would preorder it if amazon would offer a slightly lower price..!

 

[emb]

Wonderful box art. Hope the loading times are indeed fixed for the final version, seems like it'll be a serviceable game.
