Yeah it would have done well at £20-£30.
I can see Rayman being overpriced too, when you can get it for £10-15 on other consoles.

Same here. The console itself is costing me very little. So I see it as an upgrade over my Wii U. Just want the Switch to succeed and for it therefore to get lots of titles I can enjoy. Maybe a new F-Zero if I am lucky. But it seems like Nintendo to want to get in the way of that with some of their decisions
For me from whats been confirmed to be in dev so far I want:
Mario Odyssey
Zelda
Sonic Mania
Bomberman
Mario Kart 8
ARMS
LEGO City Undercover
Splatoon 2
Dragonball Z Xenoverse
RIME
STEEP
Possibles:
Project Sonic 2017
FAST RMC
Fire Emblem
Street Fighter II
Snipperclips
That will do

Yeah if it's your only console I can see you wanting more but anything multiplat will be played on my PS4 Pro.
Agreed. Bomberman is an amazing game, but only in local multiplayer. I've bought it 4 or 5 times over the years - starting with Eric and the Floaters (anyone remember that?!) to the the Saturn 10 player version (which was absolute madness and still the best version!). If you have a few mates who will buy a Switch, Bomberman, and regularly meet up, it will be worth buying a Switch just for that! If you're going to be playing it single player - it's almost a waste of money. But £50, that's insane.

Indeed. I'm going to try and have 1 or 2 single player RPGs (like Mario/Zelda/RIME) on the go at a time couple with a good selection of multiplayer stuff.
My fiance works odd hours so I will get regular alone gaming time on it and when she is around we can play together then

Well, actual footage starts just under 1 minute in. This looks fun

Bomberman £60 originally? Wait wut?? I'd buy it at £15, maybe.
Until official prices were confirmed, lots of retailers put place holder prices in. Like Zelda was £60 originally and now its £47ish.

I didn't say either way. I said "oh maybe they're doing it because of the battery" that was just a speculation. I've seen nothing officially stated with regards to the battery. Nobody has fed me that line. It was just a thought that came to mind, I posted it
Reads as a rather blind statement to me.
I get your hyped. I have been looking forward to this console also, just having a Nintendo handheld device which has greater display resolution than the 3DS gets me excited.
Some are having a harder time remaining optimistic about its future though. I am unsure what to think, I had a flutter of optimism yesterday when Reggie tweeted about the fear of lack of games and addressed that. But, then today we find it looks like they've fudged the multiplayer aspect.
High price of games and accessories, strange business decisions, including not to hold off the launch. It's testing times to remain positive.
Fair enough, my bad. I was on my phone and I've barely had 3 hours sleep.
Switch is 6 weeks and a day away from release. Lots more information will come out by then I imagine.

I'm assuming the price of Bomberman (and many of the games) is just to rake in the early adopter dollars?
As above, I'd struggle to justify Bomberman for half it's cost.

Totally. Many a mediocre game has sold well by being a launch title! Not saying Bomberman is mediocre btw, far from it, but £50! And imagine how many will only be played single player. It's like buying all your tennis gear and playing against a brick wall.
Few days later..
Thought you was not going to buy it and play Zelda on the Wii U? Not only did you buy the console , you ended up paying EUR 59.99 for a pro controller??? Too funny after what you said a few days ago
Getting warm. Needs to drop to £39.99 so I can get it for £37.99
Oh and I will also pick up Street Fighter II unless they price it silly.
Street Fighter II anyone? £59.99!

He's getting it much cheaper than all of us anyway because he lives hurgydurgy land.

You might want to put on your reading glasses and then read the post you quoted properly. I am not paying anywhere near full price.
I'm paying EUR 274.99 for the console before I remove the 12% tax difference for this country, so EUR 242/£210
I was always going to buy one as I get all the consoles, but not at launch for £280/EUR 330.
Money is not an issue, the value proposition is. At £210 I am not paying anywhere near the £280 rrp that most people are.
