 This game is AWFUL! January 19, 2008

Let me say that both versions are awful. The new and old. This has to be the worst game I have ever played. It is difficult to move in the game and really has no point. Don't waste your $$$. Glad I only paid $14.99!
Four Stars for the Classic, Negative One for the New September 17, 2007

The original Bubble Bobble is one of the all time great classic video games and for a game having passed the two decade mark it remains as enjoyable today as it did when it was first created in 1986. My girlfriend, who is totally not into video games, found Bubble Bobble to be perhaps the most enjoyable game she has ever played. It's 100 levels of bubble blowing, puzzle solving action with the tension cranked up by the inevitable appearance of the invincible Baron von Blubba if players take too long. My only knock is that the game mechanics can occasionally be frustrating making it difficult to move from point A to point B. One of the wonderful things about this game is the number of secrets hidden all around as well as the always surprising amount of different treasures and food items in the game. This is a great pick up and go game for a portable system and the DS version allows you to start at any level you've previously beaten. I seriously can't say enough about how ahead of its time and well executed this game is.
Now onto Bubble Bobble Revolution by Dreams Interactive. The bubble is an appropriate icon for this game because IT BLOWS. Game makers have had 20+ years to refine their craft. Budgets are much higher, development tools are significantly better and THIS is the garbage that gets produced? It is beyond belief. First, the instructions mention that unlike the classic BB the new offers a life bar so that the player won't die from a single hit. The problem is that the player will be killed within 10 seconds regardless. The enemies are relentless, throwing fireballs ceaselessly. I'm saying that the player will be lucky to get through the first screen. The second problem is that moving from the bottom screen to the top is completely disorienting. The less said about the new version the better. It is utter garbage.
If you love the original Bubble Bobble I recommend this cart but get it cheap because the classic version is the only worthwhile thing on it and as good as the 1986 Bubble Bobble is I would never pay more than 20 bucks for it. By the way, the new Bubble Bobble version has or had a bug in it that wouldn't allow players to advance past level 30 cutting out 70 levels. I don't know if this bug was solved because I have no interest in playing the new Bubble Bobble long enough to even reach level 30.

Bubble Bobble was one of the best games for the original Nintendo system. The game was simple--play as one of two cartoonish little dragons (or play 2 player mode with a friend) and guide them on their journey through the cave of mysteries (all 100 or so levels of it), using bubbles to entrap and then 'pop' enemies of various types and abilities. Like many NES games it was deceptively simple--easy to get the hang of but pretty tough to master--and insanely addictive. The whole game was corny (enemies turn into fruit, ice cream, and other goodies when you kill them) but it was a lot of fun.
Well, the good news is that the original game is back, in all its 80's graphic glory and without any lame modifications to hurt the gameplay. You can play again as Bub or Bob and even link up with a friend wirelessly (you both need a copy of the game, which is incredibly lame considering how easy it would have been to share a cartridge) and either relive this incredible game or discover it for the first time if that's the case.
The bad news is that this title is actually packaged with a new game, which is nowhere near as fun as the original. The "New Age" Bubble Bobble includes unlockable characters, new moves and variations on the bubble blowing, better graphics, and DS dual screen action. The question I have, however, is who cares? The game isn't nearly as fun as the old one. The simple 1 screen levels from classic Bubble Bobble have been replaced with larger levels, and much of the challenge, which really just consisted of blowing your bubbles while staying out of the way of the enemies, is gone.
If you can find this title and are interested in playing the old Bubble Bobble I highly recommend it, though I suppose the Game Boy Advance version, which also includes the old game, would serve just as well (the ability to play wirelessly on the DS is nice, though). But be aware that you're essentially paying for a 20 year old game--the new one is so inferior to the classic you'll find yourself going back to classic Bubble Bobble time and again.

I just purchased Bubble Bobble Revolution and only purchased it to play the classic version which was well remade but the new version of Bubble Bobble totally blows. The designing of the case is terrible. Bubble Bobble don't look like fat dinosaurs that look like they swallowed a balloon. They were cute characters and the rest of the game is kinda cheezy and cheaply made. This is what happens when they recreate a game they personally aren't exactly interested in. So you get cheap work but if it's something they're interested in like say Final Fantasy they'll go to every detail to make it GREAT !! I'd say wait til the price goes down or there's a sale of some sort. Not worth $30 bucks if you ask me. And the glitch problem seems to have been fixed cuz I just got mine and I can go past lvl 30.
