And all my childhood memories come flooding back. I don't know if I should be excited or terrified for this. LOL.

CoffeeFueledGamer858d ago

Lol. That is a 100% accurate statement.

I own Bubble Bobble on NES, SMS, and Genesis I'd say its one of my favorites the music all though repetitive was great.

An HD remaster of this and Rainbow Islands would be quite something.
