Where did the dual screen playing area and stylus slingshot from the E3 version go?

Looks like a more traditional Puzzle Bobble version now.

 

[Kiriku]

Maybe it's just a different game mode?

GAH. The new version looks like absolute ass. And a waste of space.

The E3 version didn't use the bottom half of the touch screen superbly, but at least it was "creative" (a successful ripoff of one of the better Mario 64 minigames).

The new shots are a puzzle mode, puzzle editor and puzzle mode in endless play or something.

The E3 2005 shots are VS battle by the looks of it.

Cool. When's the release date? I am a fan of Puzzle Bobble and have been looking forward to a DS release to add to my puzzle collection on the platform. Also, hopefully the E3 version and newer screens are both in. If not, I'm gonna be upset but still end up buying this.

 

[GDJustin]

Oh man.... those screens look hot. I'm such a sucker for puzzle bobble. I keep buying it over and over, and will continue doing so for at least another 10 iterations or so.

Maybe by that point I'll get tired of it.

I'm such a sucker for bubble bobble.

Now your statement makes sense.

How do those screens look good? It looks like someone just hit every websafe color button in MS Paint and brushed over the whole screen with some basic shapes. I normally don't find things to criticize about screen artwork, but man. That's fugly AND pixelated.

It looks like Puzzle Bobble.

That's probably why he thinks it looks good.

Implementing dual screen on a game like Puzzle Bobble is a bad idea from the start. Imagine a pool game across two screens, it messes up your aim and nothing is gained.

Exactly. I don't think it would work great on 2 screens. If they want to implement the elastic gameplay, they gotta make it on only one screen.

I really hope they have the E3 mode in there too - it looked awesome, especially as bo-bomb squad is one of my favourite DS mini-games.

On a more positive note, using the stylus for level editing ought to make it much-much easier and user friendly. More editing/custom stuff in DS games please!

Whats with the migen david (star of david, jewish star)

Magen David, rather.

 

[Zeo]

Awesome. Can't wait for this. It should make up for the recent Xbox one which had the absolute worst music ever in the series and replaced Bub and Bob with some lameass "hip" characters.

Mazal tov! Gam ani!

 

[sykoex]

This makes sense to me since i've played a lot of bust-a-move. Sometimes in the later levels your aim has to be extremely precise and it'd just be to hard to get that with the stylus.

 

[Lazy vs Crazy]

Man, nothing is ever going to live up to the Dreamcast version.
