All feature the cute little dragon duo Bub and Bob, but it can get a little confusing as to exactly what the difference is between each game. Here we’re going to focus on where it all started, when Bubble Bobble hit arcades around the world back in 1986."
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.
This game is still fun to play even after 1986 even Rainbow Island is still fun to also play after all these years. I went out of my way to snag Bubble Bobble for the SMS because I had an SMS as a kid and I love Bubble Bobble.
I remember playing this with my friends when i was a kid 😂 Damn i feel old
