Thats like 6 panels too long
The comic is 9 panels.
I assume impressions with the time they have had, without yet beating the game (and thus unable to form a more conclusive verdict).

Impossible to know for sure without seeing the embargo, but often there is a list of what you can show in the preview vs review.
For an example, here's what I received when covering Yo-Kai Watch a couple years back:
Folks with BOTW are likely working off a similar list, although surely much much more extensive for Zelda, that dictates what can be shown in their content on Friday. So they probably won't be allowed to mention or show anything beyond a certain point in the story, anything beyond certain areas of the world, any items besides a select list, and so on.

I believe EloquentM is implying the comic is 9 panels too long.

BotW dreams have started. Last night I had one where the game was essentially AR/VR and I was arriving in ruined hyrule through some sheikah powered future tech vessel. Westworld esque. Spent a while deciding in which direction I wanted to embark. Too long, in fact, and witnessed it get more westworldish as a group of NPCs were brutally ambushed on the outskirts of this town. very gory
have a long 8 days ahead

I haven't checked this yet but thought it would be useful to quote that here :
Aka don't buy it.
Aka don't buy it.
It's Bomberman, we know what we're getting with a day 1 purchase.

There will likely be heavy restrictions on previews. Probably something along the lines of "you can discuss your first 10 hours with the game" or "you can only talk about these three regions of Hyrule", etc. Their will definitely be heavy embargoes on what can be discussed.
Yeah that's completely a reasonable comparison and a well thought one. Good job.
You're trying really hard to dismiss Bomberman Switch with this comparison. I've seen a dozen of video hands-on: it's classic Bomberman with 8P local and online multiplayer. They won't charge that overnight. So it's easy to know if you like that, it's a must have out of ten.

WTF with the Furby?
I've seen various previews which were all rather mixed and had a "better wait for more details" attitude. Even those who played it on here said there are awkward design decisions, making them not want to buy it.
Just saying "it's Bomberman, we know what it is" is a stupid thing to say. That's what Bomberman for X360 best illustrates.
But if you don't really care about your gaming budget and just want a new Bomberman regardless of quality, go ahead and buy it. If it's halfway decent, I'd consider it at EUR10 maximum.

Because the embargo doesn't lift for another five hours.
Dude. That's Bomberman. We've seen gameplay. People played it. It looks like old school Bomberman and play like that. You're trying way too hard with that. Act Zero didn't play like Bomberman at all and the aesthetics were questionable.
At worst this one will be light in content, with bad netcode and micro-transactions. I think the people who wanted a full fledged Bomberman since years won't bother too much about that. For those who are still on the fence shouldn't buy it before reviews come up.
ooop I'm stupid :3
