"Fans of the long-running puzzle series Bust-a-Move will no doubt recognize the characters of Bub and Bob – this is the game that first introduced the pair, years ago. And though some of the follow-ups to this original Bubble Bobble were less than stellar, and though some of the most recent of those follow-ups have been extremely less than stellar, there's no denying the lasting value and simple playability of this first ever adventure for the two little dinos. If you've got a boyfriend or girlfriend, invest the 500 Wii Points for a download of Bubble Bobble and ask him or her to play it along you – the two of you will have a blast. And if you don't have any significant other, well, download it even faster. You'll want to have it on hand and ready when the opportunity arises for you to pass that second Wiimote to your potential Player 2."

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.
