Here's a link to GameStop's page for it. I'm a little concerned about the $60 price point, personally. I hope that doesn't stop many newcomers from getting into the game. I think a simple game like Bomberman would be an easier sell at something like $40. I hope though, that the $60 SKU means that it actually has that much effort and value packed into it's development and it's not just an example of Konami being cheap about everything.

I thought, for a second, maybe there would be some type of in-game plot explanation as to why Pretty Bomber is now hero and not a villain coming from the other Super Bomberman games. I think that's a long shot though, even though it shares the same title as the old games, I doubt this new game is targeted towards fans of the old. It probably just won't acknowledge it at all. I wish it could be something like Shiro teaming up with the Dastardly Bombers to stop a new threat, or Bagura! But I'll bet this game is just a full story reboot, and you're probably right about that being just Cute Pink from the Bomberman Land games, or just a regular Pink Bomber. That's still cool with me though, at least she's there at all

at least any of them are there at all at this point.

The Balloms are SO WEIRD! They look more like animals than balloons now... or like... some kind of Pokemon? I wouldn't even recognize them as balloon type enemies if I wasn't already familiar with them. But the new graphic style makes everything look good! Like it's all made of clay or plastic, the HD shaders really bring a new sense of life to all of the models.

10 out of 10, would buy a Ballom Amiibo!
