Super Bomberman R Switch update adds free levels

This makes me exceedingly happy. Konami has had a lot more success with the new Bomberman game than they ever anticipated. It made the top 20 games in the NPD's, and has consistantly been in the top 20 Japanese charts each week since launch. It's not pulling in huge numbers, but it seems to have a decent baseline going. Counting digital, it should be able to hit a quarter million in sales worldwide. I've accepted that the old Konami is gone and dead, but if they can find financial success in making good mid and low tier games I would be quite content with that. And the fact that they've done this with a Hudson game makes it all the sweeter. Time to dust of that library and get cracking!

This is what happens when you leave for a short while.  Feel the crushing weight of responsibility.

Holy shit that game looks amazing!

So NPD is interesting again! Switch setting records. Zelda is a monster! Horizon when you add digital sold over a million! Nier is in the top 10! Bomberman with its stupid price made the top 20?! It outsold halo wars 2! And who the hell is buying wild lands?!?! Who are these people, I know no one with that game? How does Ubisoft make anything and it sells a billion copies. There is zero buzz around that game, no one is talking about it yet it kills all.

Wildlands beat Zelda here. I have my switch back. The letter says they fixes an OS bug which was I guess the battery indicator glitch. No mention if they fixed my left joycon. I'll have to test it out tomorrow thoroughly. Took two weeks but the Easter holidays delayed everything.

The new update also makes it 60 FPS. There were some good impressions from GAF about it playing with family over Easter.

I'm considering buying Little Nightmares through GOG, as it'll also bag me a free copy of Inside.  I haven't ever bought any pc game digitally any where but on Steam.  Do I get a Steam Key if I buy from GOG, or do I need to launch it directly from my desktop?

GoG Galaxy works just like Steam, or you can download and install the game directly to your computer like the olden days. GoG games are all DRM free.

So it's its own kind of platform?  Hmmm.  I think I'd prefer just launching them from my  desktop then.

God, still can't believe Nintendo has friend codes for the third home console in a row.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.  And it doesn't need saying that something that never worked in the first place can't break down.
