Info: Rising Star to publish Bubble Bobble Revolution as well as Space Invaders Revolution
To go with the announcement of a Space Invaders Revolution game earlier this week, we're happy to let you all know that a Bubble Bobble Revolution game has also been confirmed for our dual screened friend. For those who don't know - Bubble Bobble is a early platform game, with a strong puzzle focus. Stay tuned for more news on what should be a fun title.

Rising Star is the publisher behind the localised versions of both games, whose aim is to bring unsung and doubtful-to-be-translated Japanese gems over to North America for further appreciation. Both games will receive major graphical over hauls to make the games more accessible to younger audiences, Space Invaders Revolution packing upgraded graphics and new game modes with Bubble Bobble Revolution bringing it with enhanced player interactivity due to the full touch screen support system.

Wow... both games would really work well with the dual screen setup. And thankfully, they're being developed by Taito themselves this time (unlike the GBA Bubble Bobble).

I wonder if Rising Star's going to pick up Bust-A-Move DS as well? Or the PSP versions of Space Invaders and Bust-A-Move?

WTF? Touch screen Bubble Bobble? :lol

These should be combined into one game or sold at $20 each.

 

[Mrjellybeanct]

Hmm, forgot about the PSP Bust-a-Move, it would be nice if they brought that over, I need a new portable version as the NGPC version is all I have now. Looking forward to BB though, If they get it right I'll pick it up for sure.

I happen to find Bubble Bobble pretty fantastic (obviously). I'm excited!

 

[Raw64life]

Bubble Bobble is awesome. When I eventually get a DS, I'll be sure to pick this one up.

 

[Musashi Wins!]

I'd like to hear more announcements about non-puzzle type games for the system. I appreciate the PDA type controls, and it seems like there walking the PDA game path pretty deeply. I love Bust A Move and the like, it's just hard to get excited about these sort of news items. I guess it's just a matter of timing, I don't mean it as a troll.

Hope BBR comes with Rainbow Islands, and Bubble Symphony.(which I really, really want to play)

Well, Bubble Bobble Old&New released on GBA for only $15... who knows. They're going to be total remakes with new content though, so they might be full priced.

I'd actually prefer Bubble Symphony and Bubble Memories on a single card. Symphony only ever got a JP Saturn release (and a finished but unreleased PS1 port) and Memories never came home in any form. :/

Damn, I never even knew Memories existed. I'd like that too.

Bubble BOOBLE rocks!!!!!

BIG ASS TITTIES ON BUB AND BOOB

 

[Red Scarlet]

And a touch screen.

 

[jarrod]

Damn, I never even knew Memories existed. I'd like that too.

Both were released on Taito's FB board. Look here for some pics.

 

[Cherubae]

I just let my coworkers know, and the youngest one goes "what's bubble bobble?"

:rolleyes kids these days... I think I'd rather have Galaga than Space Invaders, but that's a Namco game

Rising Star is the publisher behind the localised versions of both games, whose aim is to bring unsung and doubtful-to-be-translated Japanese gems over to North America for further appreciation.

What concerns me is Rising Star is also in charge of the PAL publication of the Harvest Moon games. If Rising Star also does North America, then where does Natsume fall into the picture?

Hmm, seems Rising Star is the new western branch of Marvelous Interactive (I didn't know that anyway)... it's entirely possible that they might kick Natsume to the curb and start selfpublishing Harvest Moon and River King over here. :/

 

[drohne]

bubble bobble revolution officially displaces castlevania as the most promising ds game. had this already been announced for japanese release? i don't remember hearing about it. i hope they don't use bubble bobble new's art style.

 

[BuddyC]

And I'm buying yet anohter iteration of Bubble Bobble, quite happily.

Wonderful news.

 

[bobbyconover]

Both were released on Taito's FB board.

That's F3, and for what it's worth Memories is the far better game. Large bubbles for life!

 

[alejob]

Bubble Booble?

DS +1 (Eventually, when I get a job and have some money to burn).

 

[MrCheez]

I loves me some Bubble Bobble, but I just bought the GBA version. >_< I wonder if it will have anything new.

 

[isamu]

seems like every puzzle game under the sun is getting a DS release except puzzle fighter. Pisses me the fuck off.

 

[RevenantKioku]

You should be grateful, honestly.
Now where's Panel de Pon though?

I agree I got wood just thinking about it


on a more serious note I love Bubble Bobble + 1 sold

 

[MetatronM]

Yay for Bubble Bobble!

 

[captmcblack]

boobs let me touch you?

 

[Soul4ger]

That's F3, and for what it's worth Memories is the far better game. Large bubbles for life!

F3? Frantic Frustrated Female?

I'm very excited about both these games, but I hope they're either cheap or have some new shit to make them worth $30.

 

[olimario]

I hope bubble bobble is
-Cheap
-Feature rich


I don't want it to be basic and expensive like Mr. Driller DS.
