Remember back when I wrote about my favorite 8-bit era games? Well the next day I wrote about a runner-up, the classic Bubble Bobble. Astute readers may remember me stating:
“If there were ever a game that needed a DS or XBL update, this would undoubtedly be in the top ten list”
It’s like I’m Nostradamus or something, because there will also be an XBL remake called Bubble Bobble Neo! coming out sometime this year.
The WiiWare version is what I’m focusing on right now, so here’s a quick feature breakdown:
– 4-player mode
– 100 classic stages
– 100 new stages
– Updated, harder versions of some of the classic stages
– Two DLC packs containing 50 very hard stages in each
I’ve gotta say, this is a pretty huge remake and I hope it does well this week. Bubble Bobble was one of the best old games out there with its simple gameplay, even though I never saw the ending, good or bad. Here’s to transmuting monsters into food!
