KONAMI MADE A GAME?!
@Gorlokk I KNOW RIGHT!
The game...THE GAME that will make me buy a Switch!
Sheesh Konami! I need Suikoden so bad! 108 stars of destiny need to come back for my life be complete aaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh! Own 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, tactics, DS version, and they're all amazing!
The game's aesthetic is so disjointed: The cutscenes look OTT kiddie, "Nickelodeon-ish", and "Flash-the-vector-program-ish", much more so than the original cartoon/comic-style art from the 90s that I actually really liked, and the in-game visuals actually look kinda "gritty" and "realistic" at times, with certain shader effects that just look strange, which I don't like for the most part.
Why couldn't they have just made the game look like the original classic cartoon/comic style but in 3D, and had the cutscenes match the in-game visuals too?
Ya know, more like this kind of thing:

It is an order or magnitude better than what you've went for with Super Bomberman R imo.
This game has been more fun than I expected
Love Bomberman, hate Bomberman in 3d.
This game is actually fun, but I really hope that online social is added once the Nintendo online app is released. I really need to talk crap while playing this type of game otherwise it just feels like I’m playing against AI.
This and Mariokart made me inititaly buy a Switch.
It's good enough, but not the star of the show anymore like the great Battlefest, for our 8x player gaming parties. It just feels a bit lacking.
Hopefully updates will add more weapons and features.
Here's an idea Konami, free to play bomerman game with online 4p multiplayer make money by adding costumes, levels and season passes etc. Works for fortnite, Apex and even tetris 99.
