Selecting the first world launches the updated game, allowing up to four players to join in, whisking them into the first level. As with the original, only two players can play as Bub and Bob rather than the four players of the new, updated version’s levels. The 1986 arcade version, despite showing its age is still fiendishly addictive. Selecting the Bubble Bobble cabinet launches a pixel-perfect port of the original coin-op classic. One of the items is a mock-up of an old Bubble Bobble arcade cabinet. The game is set to the theme of a child’s bedroom, over a series of worlds based on items that you’d find in the room. On clear all the enemies in the level, the screen fills with fruit that needs to be gathered in order to gain bonus points. Once trapped the enemies become vulnerable and can be defeated by the dragons bouncing on the bubbles. The basic premise of the game is deceptively simple, perfect for a quick session on the go, or with the whole family in front of the TV.īubble Bobble 4 Friends, as with the original, has players controlling little dragons that can blow bubbles, trapping bad guys that patrol along the various platforms in each level. The 2D adventures of bubble blowing dragons, Bub and Bob (as well as their companions Peb and Pab in this remake), are very much suited to Nintendo’s portable console. Harking back to a simper time, before eye-bleeding 3D graphics and visceral explosions became the gaming norm, Bubble Bobble, the precursor to Taito’s later classics like Rainbow Islands and New Zealand Story, had a charm that left an impression on everyone that played it. Bubble Bobble 4 Friends is a four-player update for the Nintendo Switch, of the classic Taito arcade platformer.
