    Whether you view the appearance of a game like this on the DS as a crucial step in conserving gaming’s heritage, a convenient nostalgia fix, or a total reversal of everything the machine was supposed to deliver, you’ll most likely greet Bub and Bob with little more than familiar affection.

    The new game is frustrating, repetitive, and not as memorable as the first.

    The updated version is horribly unbalanced and way too difficult to be enjoyed.

    A very poor remake of a classic arcade game. The Level 30 bug definitely hurts the product, but in all honestly it just makes a bad game worse.
  5. Worth Playing

    Normally, a title like this would garner a much higher score; due to the inherent bugs, however, it feels like the game is half-finished. Since it seems only halfway complete, the score will also be roughly half of what it would be in normal circumstances.

    Unfortunately, nostalgia rarely holds up, they couldn't even implement the new system's features and instead of taking something old and reinventing it they made a broken version of a classic game with graphics that have no character.
  7. GamingExcellence

    There’s the broken remake of the title, in which you can’t even finish. There’s the classic which, while fun, doesn’t nearly justify the price tag, especially without download play. If you’re really looking to satisfy a Bubble Bobble craving, there are much better ways to do it.

    Two games exist on this cartridge - the original arcade version of Bubble Bobble, and a dual-screen remake for DS.

    The former is a perfect slice of videogame history and should be sampled and enjoyed by everybody. The latter should be killed and burned without a funeral.    … Expand
