Bub, Bob take second shot at DS

By Tim Surette, GameSpotPosted Nov 27, 2006 1:14 pm PT

Bubble Bobble Double Shot announced for DS by Rising Star Games; platformer plays on both screens, will be out in early 2007.

Bub and Bob go back to basics.

Taito's bubble-blowing dinosaurs, Bub and Bob, have spent much of their recent gaming years as characters in the popular Bust-A-Move puzzle series. However, Rising Star Games is bringing them back to their roots--as the main characters in a new Bubble Bobble platformer.

The European game publisher, a subsidiary of Japan's Marvelous Interactive, has announced that it will release Bubble Bobble Double Shot for the Nintendo DS in early 2007. A North American release date has yet to be confirmed.

The new game will feature a third character, Babu, and players will need to switch between the three cuter-than-thou reptiles to defeat enemies. The single-player campaign will feature more than 100 levels and cooperative multiplayer modes supporting up to three participants.

Bub and Bob have platformed on the DS before. Taito's Bubble Bobble Revolution was released in October but was met with abysmal reviews.

No price or rating has been announced for the game.

    Bubble Bobble on the DS, I wonder if this will be good? If so I'll have to get a DS.

    Even the first Bubble Bobble merited nothing more than the occasional rental for me back in the day. Unless a serious overhaul or striking revelation in gameplay occurs, I'll likely only glance at this thing from a bargain bin.

    I loved the NES original. I hope this game will be good, but after reading the review of the last one, I'm not going to get my hopes too high.

    I have been waiting since NES for a sequel to bubble bobble. Hopefully it will live up to the original.

    If this is how they want to revive a series, they should let it die.

    V_V Unless they are truly expecting to make a good game, please let the series die peacefully, only tainted slightly.

    It definitely looks better than the other one, so I may play it (not buy it though)

    With any luck, you'll be able to get through more than a third of the game this time.

    Wow, it really looks good compared to the other one! I'll definately get this game now XD

    i think that if they release this game for $20 it will be a hit...at $35 like most DS games though this will surely flop

    Bubble bobble is one of the games I have in my NES most often so I may have to get this even if babu kinda creeps me out, I mean his name has 4 letters!?! thats 1 more than 3.
