Welp time for me to relive my childhood once more on the Nintendo switch. I seriously love the retro stuff getting thrown at the switch.

Err... is it? Still, always nice to see these kind of retro titles make a comeback. I remember playing the DS entry as a kid.

Yep!! Can't believe they did the trailer without the original music!
I am very much open to a new Bubble Bobble, with the slight proviso that I hope Bub and Bob look right. There's been some aberrations over the years...
Doot doot doot, dootdoot doot doot, dootdoot doot doot doo-doooooo

Glad Bubble Bobble is coming back but ehhh those graphics and the character modes. I would have preferred a sequel with a retro look.
I am there day 1. God I love Bubble Bobble!
It was very popular in Sweden, the NES had a lifespan from first to last game of 9 years and BB was in the top 30 most sold games for the system in this timespan. Old copies of this game still cost about 40-50$ for a loose copy :P
Also remember this game being the most wanted of all the pirated commodore 64 games in my youth hehe

My mind read it as Puzzle Bobble which I got a bit excited by, but this looks neat too.
They don't look quite that bad on the artwork, but not great either.I am very much open to a new Bubble Bobble, with the slight proviso that I hope Bub and Bob look right. There's been some aberrations over the years...
Trailer looks alright. Hard to tell if this has an arcade game structure, but it'd be neat if so and it still might be okay if not. Kinda reminds me of Minna de Spelunker visually.
I assume this doesn't include any of the original games, right? Due to the original being available on Switch via the Hamster release.

I'm in day one
Bubble Bobble is still one of my favouite game of all time.
I just hope it's better than the poor DS/PSP games

Hopefully there are no stage 57s, as a kid I was too dumb to try to make a pilar of bubbles down the middle so I would just try to rush up one of the sides before getting killed.

yeah i pump the breaks a little due to the DS rehashes
i remember this being a huge disappointment too
Back in its day, definitely--the European computer versions were atypically well-made and that style of game was particularly well-suited to those machines, so that whole subgenre was pretty big at the time.
Oh, I'm sure it was popular back when it first launched, but that statement suggests it still is extremely popular in Europe today; given that there hasn't been a title in the series for a good few years now, I'm not sure that statement holds up in 2019.
I mean, it's on the NES Mini, it's on Arcade Archives, etc so there's probably recent data telling them who still cares and where they are.
The probable actual reason they're doing this is because Strictly Limited Games is based in Europe.
You shut your whore mouth!
Bubble Bobble is a National Treasure, dammit!

Bubble Bobble 2 was my jam on the NES. Wasn't til many years later that I realized this was a game most people hadn't played because it was so rare. I'll keep an eye on this one.
Puzzle Bobble has been endlessly imitated and rereleased; I'm not too sure what a new title in the series could do. We don't get that many arena co-op platformers these days.
As long as I can jump up against a wall and blow bubbles underneath me like in the NES version (but not the arcade one and Wii one), I'll be happy.
I'll probably get it day one, anyway, though nobody would play it with me except my mother lol.

The C64 version was actually one of the very first games I owned. Got it in this compilation for Christmas in the 80's :)
Game compilations were awesome. I mean, just looks at those awesome cover arts right there!
I can still hear the loading screen tunes in my head :D
about 6 months ago i was musing on Bubble bobble and how i missed it and you could probably make quite a fun 4 player 3d arena thing wiht the charters and mechanics
now, we domnt have THAT but a new ish BB game and parosol stars coming to the west for the first timeon the PC Engine mini
i wasn;t the only one feeling an absence of Bub and Bob

Would you count Rainbow Islands? I love Rainbow Islands.
I remember Part 2 on the NES and the arcade Symphony and Memories being pretty good in quick tries.
