So if you are a fan of Bubble Bobble (and honestly who isn’t lol) then you owe it to yourself to a) play Bubble Memories and b)....play Bubble Memories lol
It’s a weird situation with this game ; released on the Taito F3 along with Bubble Symphony. Symphony got a port to the Saturn and a cancelled but leaked port for the PS1. Then it released on compilations for Xbox and PS2. People heard of it, played it, and enjoyed it.
Memories...fell through the cracks somehow. Released only on a Japanese exclusive PS2 compilation that’s difficult to find these days AND a Korean exclusive pc release that is unicorn levels of rare. I had to check with a Korean collector friend just to confirm it wasn’t a bootleg. I haven’t seen one for sale in the two years since I picked mine up.
but gameplay wise, it’s classic Bubble Bobble. Cute and colorful game on the surface with the deep meta game (codes, hidden doors, potions hidden that you need to collect to obtain the true ending)underneath. Not sure who the target audience was on these. Kids or adults? Because as a kid I could NOT beat them without cheating lol
