Agreed, and most folks who like sports will dig either basketball or soccer, so having NBA and FIFA on the system will fit most sports demand. It'd be nice to have a Madden game at launch, but two out of three ain't bad.

That said, they didn't say that it WON'T be $60, but they haven't settled on a price, so it may well sell for $40 instead.
Ive got $30 down on it and PuyoxTetris. Puyo is $30 in Gamestop system for the PS4, so I figure it is a safe bet.

Bad timing football is over, they'll likely shovel one out for next season. FIFA is basically an anytime thing and the basketball game would drop during the March Madness time period so that lines up fairly well too.

I'd truly be shocked if Bomberman was a $60 game as I see a lot of fun there, but not that price point level of fun.


fastbilly probably has it figured out or within $10 of it. A similar more basic presentation level fun game for one or many but without the production values of a Zelda, sports title, etc.

Super Bomberman 1-3 and Mega Bomberman were $60 games. Bomberman DS was $30. So $60 is not unheard of for a Bomberman game. Though Bomberman Blast on the Wii was $20.

Either way I will pay it. I have gotten more than enough fun out of that series that a new version is worthwhile. And since it is 8 player on the go it may replace both Bomberman DS and Saturn Bomberman.

What I'm reading from Nintendo Enthusiast, I think it was, is that NBA 2K18 won't launch until September (which makes sense).

So excited about a new Bomberman. I have a private pullman car on this hype train.
Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

Shame on you buying a car from such a vile, abusive company!

Yeah, this year's version is 2K17. This season is already at the midpoint, at least for the regular season. (My Spurs are doing pretty decent without Duncan, although it's clear they miss him on defense.)

So you want to play solo?

I am in the observation car on that train. Ready to kick it 8 player.

Yeah, sorry guys, I have no idea why 'the internet' has been reporting today that NBA 2K18 was launching on the 3rd March with the console, but other articles have pegged it for September, which makes far more sense, because NBA 2K games come out in the fall.
