[DS] Hubba Bubba Bubble Bobble Double Shot

I'm going for the high score here, AAA in first place for the 'Make Threads About Games Nobody Really Cares About Because They'll Usually End Up Being Shit' game! Until they unplug the machine and all my precious shoddy effort is wasted.

oh my word

Rising Star Games has revealed that it's to publish another Bubble Bobble game for the Nintendo DS in Q1 2007.

Bubble Bobble Double Shot (see what they did) introduces a third platform-hopping bubble-popping character called Bubu to the traditional duo of Bub and Bob, and promises "a respectful return to the series' roots".

BUBU? Good to know they've forgotten about the OTHER new characters they created just for the first Bubble Bobble game on DS. A pink clone and some wanker wearing a helmet or something. Bubu seems to be orange!

Quote:

you'll still find yourself platforming through compact levels brimming with secrets, spread across two screens, but now you'll also be using the right shoulder button to switch between Bub, Bob and Bubu, because certain enemies can only be taken down by certain characters.

This system is based on colours - and there will also be a new star bubble that lets you change the colour of enemies on-screen so your selected character can tackle them all.

Oh what, sounds like they've shoved a bit of Bust a Move/Puzzle Bobble gameplay in it. That could work. Or fail. Because it's the mystery of the dance!

Quote:

What's more, Rising Star says the "continue" mechanic has been changed so that you're now asked to complete touch-based mini-games when you perish in order to carry on playing - like solving a puzzle, or tapping the screen quickly so escape from a rampaging monster.

On top of the single-player antics, which amount to 100 levels, there will also be co-operative multiplayer for up to three people.

You have to play stupid mini-games just to continue your game? That sounds like it'll make me roll my eyes and they'll get stuck in the back of my head. I wonder if the co-op will be off a single cartridge this time, like it should have been with Bubble Bobble Revolution. Look, some screens!





At least they've made the levels fit the screens now. No more scrolling crap. That and it doesn't seem to have that grainy smelly look to it. Pretty exciting stuff hey. :]

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Oh sure it's nice NOW, but will you be saying the same thing when you get to Level 30, the boss never comes out of hiding, and you get stuck in the same place FOREVER AND EVER JUST LIKE LAST TIME!!!!

BABBARU BOBBARU FUN TIME FOR NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!! ;___;

Here's hoping it doesn't suck donkey balls. I'd like to buy a Bubble Bobble game that doesn't suck Hardcore Donkey Balls.

EDIT: That picture with the mushrooms is nice

There's nowhere I can't reach.

That actually looks like a lot of fun... Provided it doesn't get mucked up.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

But imagine if it did have that glitch again! =o Both games combined, that'd be a whopping 60 levels! And at $30 a game, that's only a dollar a level! A bargain!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

This game too must have the best boxart ever. I have such high expectations. Maybe this one will just be pictures of their bloated feet? All SIX of them! Feet for EVERYONE! =D

I was speaking idiomatically.

Wise from your gwave!


What a let down box! There's no feet at all!

There's also a really weird trailer that's on fast forward or something.

YouTube Video

Comes out in like two days. Someone download it to their Rash card and tell me if it's worth buying okay. =)

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Thats a bit of a mouthful...

How ya doing, buddy?

All game trailers should be fast-forwarded and in German!

It'd be nice if the game is actually good. It's been so long since there's been a Bubble Bobble game worth playing.

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

Ok, looks like Bubble Bobble done right. I'm game for it if it's game. Elixir, please do the honors of testing it when it comes out. =)

Jam it back in, in the dark.

I sat down with the game for a few minutes to get a first impression. And uh...there's really not much to say. It's old school Bubble Bobble platforming with a new enemy color scheme gimmick tacked on.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Shit's boring.

How ya doing, buddy?

That's why it needs to be set on fire or flung at windows! Surely the colour matching gimmick can't be as bad as needing to blow into the mic to activate fans in Revolution!

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Well no, but any game that requires you to blow into the microphone is plain retarded (I'm looking at you, Mario Kart DS battle mode).
