$750ish in NZ for console, zelda and pro controller.

I'll probably get one at some point but this plus the online sub poo poo is pretty lol

Online sub is acceptable given the Japanese price is 18 dollars a year

I set Bombermans online settings to global and my God the Japanese are good at Bomberman they play it like Tetris.

Online is a sleeper hit guys, you can play as the bosses after you beat them in story mode and there's like 30 more maps to unlock which all play with gravity and ramps and layers.

Do not underestimate bomberman. It is fun as fun and ranked mode is like playing Tetris attack

With 8 people

With bombs

but i heard the graphics are bad and konami made it so we should all hate it?



i'm already going to get FAST RACING TOTALLY NOT F-ZERO or whatever it's called i think three games may be too much to handle :ohdear:

Yes reviews are right. It's bomberman.

Online wasn't activated during reviews.

I count 20 maps to unlock, cosmetics items and characters by the boatload. And ranked which is already full of God blessed tacticians

Oh and it's the only online Switch game atm that let's you take mates online with you because FAST HAS NO LOBBIES

FAST HAS NO LOBBIES AND JOINING YOUR FRIENDS IS ACTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE

IT JUST PUTS YOU IN A RACE IN PROGRESS AS THE ONLY OPTION WITH NO CHOICE

THE ONLY GAME WITH GOOD ONLINE AND LOBBIES FOR GOON ROOMS IS BOMBERMAN.

I don't mean to sound racist but the black horses run much faster than all the other coloured horses I've found.

4 star speed.

I want to find the perfect horse but I don't know what it looks like.

The black horses go really fast though. There is probably a unicorn somewhere with perfect stats.

If you like Bomberman it is good.

While I find Zelda impressive. Stamina is way too imbalanced. Most of the shrines outside the plateau require a gently caress load of climbing making the game slightly linear towards Kakariko Village.

Switch was only on the market for 3 days in its first week. That's about 100k a day the first 3 days of its life.

Nintendo Switch, the new home gaming system that people can also take on the go, has sold faster in its launch month than any other video game system in Nintendo history. The Nintendo Switch system sold more than 906,000 units in March, according to the NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. That makes Nintendo Switch one of the fastest-selling video game systems of all time. Notably, this sales surge was accomplished in a nontraditional month for a console launch.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild game sold over 1.3 million units*. That total includes more than 925,000 units sold for Nintendo Switch and nearly 460,000 units sold for the Wii U console.

More copies of BOTW for Switch sold than there were actually Switches sold in the states.

A game so nice some people had to buy it twice.

NPD explains that it's people double dipping in the collectors edition.

So at least 19,000 copies of breath of the wild were sold to people who didn't have a Nintendo switch? Do you mean 925,000 copies across platforms?

Scalpers or collectors editions double dipping

Puyo Puyo Tetris - USA - $30USD ($40AUD) 
 Puyo Puyo Tetris - AUS - $45USD ($60AUD) 50% increase 

I think this is because The Tetris Company are loving assholes.

Keeping in mind Tetris is run by a bunch of former Soviet Union officials out of Hawaii who spend their time taking Tetris clones to court and charging whatever the gently caress try want for Tetris.

Don't think it's Sega's fault here.

Elektronorgtechnica (also spelled Electronorgtechnica), better known abbreviated as ELORG, is the former Sovietstate owned organization on export and import of computer hardware and software. It was controlled by the Ministry of Foreign Trade.[1] ELORG was responsible for the licensing and development of the popular video game Tetris.[2] As the game was owned by the state (Tetris was written by salaried programmers at the Soviet Academy of Sciences), all rights to the game worldwide were handled by ELORG

Then the Soviet union collapses, they all fled to Hawaii and started sueing Tetris clones for fun. :ussr:

It's actually cheaper to import Minecraft Story Mode on Switch than it is to buy locally lmao.

off Play Asia

off EB Games (Only $10 cheaper at JB HiFi)

It's basically cheaper to import this game by a margin of 40 to 30 dollars. :psyboom:
