Bubble Bobble's colorful cast of characters and pickups, as well as its chain-reaction bubble-bursting gameplay, provides a charming, very well-aged experience.
The Good
* A plethora of items, power-ups, and enemies
* Setting off massive bubble chain reactions is addictive
* 99 unique levels with no lazy palette swaps
* Two-player mode encourages both teamwork and greed.
The Bad
* Music could be a little more varied
* The cute factor might turn away those without a soul.
70 years and still going strong. And with some amazing games, too.
There are countless ones that weren't mentioned. Rastan. New Zealand Story. Cadash. NINJA KIDS.
I prefer the original Rastan...or, for that matter, the very rare Warrior Blade.
"Taito's Bubble Bobble series started out in 1986 and remains popular to this day. Bubble Bobble 4 didn't get the world on first, but there will be plenty more adventures for Bub and Bob in the future, including the upcoming Puzzle Bobble Everybubble. Merchandise for this series doesn't come to international markets very often, but Strictly Limited Games currently has a bundle of Bub and Bob plushies available to order," says Co-Optimus.
Taito has revealed that it is working on a new Bubble Bobble game to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the series. However, details are extremely sparse.
And all my childhood memories come flooding back. I don't know if I should be excited or terrified for this. LOL.
I own Bubble Bobble on NES, SMS, and Genesis I'd say its one of my favorites the music all though repetitive was great.
