OK, how about this then, straw poll:

If you had to choose between Bomberman or 1-2-Switch at launch, and you HAVE to buy at least one of them

Bomb man

1 2 switch holds literally no interest for me whilst bomb is at least slightly fun looking

Looking forward to Jack box though

1-2-Switch, easy. I've got a good grip of friends (well, maybe like 3 or 4) who are just as big Nintendo fans as I am, we're all getting Switches on day one, and Mario Party has really run its course when it comes to group gaming sessions. I'm not actually buying it, but I do kinda hope one of them do.

Also I didn't like Bomberman 20 years ago and I still don't care for it now. It could be a subscriber freebie a la PS+ and I wouldn't even download it.

Yea, and I say unto you, bringeth me a machiatto of caramel, with crickets on top.
Both would get boring quick but if you've played bomberman before than you're not even getting anything new and it allegedly runs bad. At least with 1 2 Switch you will be able to experience the probably only game to even feature HD rumble.

I'd choose 1,2 switch over bomberman. The giant bomb video has raised my interest in it to the point where I would be willing to pay 10 bucks for it. Can't say the same for bomberman.

I honestly hope you convince me to buy it but that would only happen if I am wrong and it is not as ugly as an ugly butt and also has bad AI as reported so far.

1-2 Switch because even though it is probably way overpriced, it looks like actual love and loving effort went into it and it isn't an insult to the buyer in-and-of-itself.

I agree with this, but where we differ I think is a distinction between things they never should have invested in in the first place (HD rumble for example) vs things they can save significant costs in the future without harming their console and its games. To cut HD rumble they would have to make sure their games moving forward don't use it, and write off the in-development games that do. And the end result would be saving an unclear but probably not large amount of money on Joycons. You think maybe $10 per pair? That problem is magnified immensely if you're talking about abandoning motion or single-joycon controls in favor of a device that basically only uses Pro controls. There are going to be games that use only pro controls, but given how central the idea of sharing the joycons is for multi-player, I don't see how you omit that completely without fracturing the playerbase.

You could make a portable-only Switch, but that's basically just a Switch without a dock. I wouldn't be surprised by a more powerful/compact Switch Plus in the future, but I don't see a path to such a device that omits TV output for a significant cost savings. You could definitely make a home-only Switch. That's the most realistic option, and it's possible demand and Nintendo's own goals will align in a way that makes that possible. Given the continued rise of mobile gaming, particularly in Japan, and Nintendo's own strengths, I don't think that's something they'll aim for unless the Switch REALLY bombs and they've got a 3DS successor waiting in the wings.

i mean considering every single portable chipset made since like 2008 or so has the capability to output HDMI over USB there would be a cost savings of about $0 by axing tv output

Yea but, like, if you multiply 0 times the amount of switches sold how much cost saving is that? Exactly. Just blew your mind.

The pendulum of the mind alternates between sense and nonsense
12 Switch but only for the milking game.

With all the talk about the skins I've never bought a skin for anything and you're probably not going to convince me to buy one but I have a question for the real die hard skin fans who are going to try to convince me anyway.

Don't they eventually peel and get lovely with age, collect dead skin around their edges and in the cracks and stuff like that?

"Bad AI" is pretty inconsequential for a bomberman game of all things. If you're playing bot matches you're doing it wrong.

Unless it's bad in some meaningful way i'll probs pick it up six months down the line when its a third of the price and i actually have four controllers.

Oh, Dee, you card. :-*
People getting fussy at Bomberman ai still makes no sense to me and I feel like people just wanna hate on it because there's nothing else to talk about. Out of the 42 console Bomberman games, goons are convinced the 42nd one has the worst AI programming with pretty much nothing but NeoGAF hearsay to back it up. I get it if it's not the 8 player game you're looking for but in a relatively weak launch lineup, I think it's solidly behind Zelda and in front of tech demos that weren't packed in with the system for some reason.

Maybe the AI was set to Beginner for the demos. :shrug:
