Amazon.com has the PS4 version new for $10.

 

And ours will be even cheaper!

But thanks for bringing that up and proving my point.

 

Lets do the math...

 

Lets say you and your buddies wanted to play 4 player Bomberman.

 

PS4 - $300 (could can find deals and smaller harddrives so using this number and including tax).

 

3 more controllers at $60 each (again... lets include tax as you can find them for less or 3rd parties) = $180

 

And the game at $10.

So, in order to play Bomberman on the PS4 the way it's meant... you're spending $500.

But wait... what about the "Family Friendly" Nintendo Switch version?  Well, if you look at the game you'll find out that in order to play it 4 players you'll need 2 Switches. 

 

Hmmm... now we're getting into the $600 range.  But on the Switch you CAN play up to 8 players!  Cool!  Fun party game for sure!  Unfortunately you'd then need 4 Switches with people sharing screens and now you've entered the $1,200 range.  All you so can play Bomberman.

 

Or you can play with 8 players on Amico for 20% of that price or half of the PS4.

BIG difference between $250 & $500/$600 when you're talking about middle America.

 

But lets talk about the GAME for a second.  You've been going on and on and on about how poor our graphics are and how our presentation needs major improvement.

 

Yet you post about this great Bomberman game on the PS4 that looks like THIS!

Sorry... art is subjective I know... but in my opinion ours looks a little better than the PS4, XBox & Switch versions.  And that's saying a LOT considering we're not even in the same league as they are power or graphic-wise.

One more comment about the above screen shots... I don't know... it kinda looks like a mobile game to me.   :D

 

 

And in regards to presentation.... I personally HATE the type of over the top anime style presentation and "story" mode they offer.

 

Anyone else look at this trailer and want to barf?  It's like nails on a chalkboard for me.

 

 

 

Anyway... just wanted to point out my personal thoughts and opinions on that link you posted.

 

Different strokes for different folks.

How many people have an Amico currently? 😝

 

I don't see why I have to buy the controller when I can tell my friends and family to bring theirs? Do people not do that? Then when it comes to price I really haven't spent anymore. But maybe I think outside the box more than others. Don't know. 🤷‍♀️

Great point.


100 million PS4's yet 3 billion gamers in the world.  So just around 3% of all people who play video games have a PS4.

Really? I wonder why my brother bought a console and doesn't have controllers. Guess he's weird like me too. 🤷‍♀️

Cards aren't a game. They are just something you use to play games. See I'm weird.... Maybe April Fools Day is getting to me?

I have a bunch of extras if you need some. I could probably mail out a deck or two. I promise not to cough on them. I will even lysol them down before packing. Might even have a star wars themed one.

Hell my family has been known to bring over extra TVs to make sure we have enough to hook up consoles and such. I currently have 4 TVs hooked up to games and only have one more I could potentially use.

On a separate note I like the Anime style. But I also like this...

And those bots definitely have an Anime/Manga flair to their design

Consoles aren't games either.  "They are just something you use to play games."

Unless of course you're talking about Amico with 6 free pack-in games and the ability to play 8 players out of the box.

 

:D

Totally and respectfully disagree.  Those bots don't look Manga in my opinion.

Not in a gundam or evangelion way but definitely a Chibi style like this.

So other Manga/Anime examples.

No not chibi at all.  Look again.  They don't even have a body.  Looks like a head with feat.

Here's something from Wall-E that isn't made in Japan either...


:)

Although I'm still in shock over the fact at how bad those mobile looking graphics are for the PS4, Xbox & Switch. 

 

:D

Sure, assuming six of those players bring their smartphones and the owner of the console has an active Internet connection and is willing to spend $249 or more on a new console.  I mean this doesn't exactly seem like a particularly friendly model for people who are not traditional console gamers.  I really hope you consider having an option not to connect to the Internet at all and to sell truly physical games that don't require any Internet activation or downloads.
