First off, you've got four playable characters. Bubble Symphony is another attempt at building and improving on the original Bubble Bobble format, and IMO, this is one sequel that nails it. To ease (or perhaps further) confusion the game is also known as Bubble Symphony in some areas, this seems to have since been adopted as the main name for the game. Wait a second? Bubble Bobble II? Yes, this is the third game that has tried to call itself Bubble Bobble 2 in some way. So the next year, Taito tried again and released. I have never really been able to get into this one, it may be better than the original on a technical level, but it seems to be lacking a certain something the original had.
So the gameplay this time is right back to the original games, though to be fair the graphics have been improved a great deal. who also managed to get turned into green and blue dragons that spit bubbles. Also gone are Bub and Bob, this time you're playing as their descendants, Cubby and Robby. That's midway through the SNES era, so again this game isn't very well known. But this is gaming, so when you can't innovate, it's time to rehash anything thats popular and milk it dry!Įnter Bubble Bobble: Part 2 a game released for the NES in 1993. The series had counted to three, and produced three game all with similar, but overall different gameplay styles. Parasol Stars brings the series back to gameplay more like the original Bubble Bobble with single screen areas and a focus on killing all enemies, rather than just reaching the top of the area like in Rainbow Islands.Īnd now is when things get a little big complicated. The subtitle for this game is of course "The Story of Bubble Bobble III", but some European versions actually call it Rainbow Islands 2! So if you haven't guessed by the naming convention thus far, your main weapon this time is a parasol. You know maybe I'm in the minority, but I actually thing a pair of kids running around killing things with rainbows is actually weirder than dinosaurs spitting bubbles.Ī third, lesser known game in the series was released later on, Parasol Stars. In this game, Bub and Bob are now back to their human forms, and shoot.
Bubble Bobble would later be followed up by Rainbow Islands, which has the subtitle "The Story of Bubble Bobble 2". Or something like that, story isn't exactly a strongpoint in these games. In the game you play as two adorable little dragons, Bub and Bob, who shoot bubbles and are on a quest to save their girlfriends. Originally an arcade game released in 1986, though most of us probably know the game due to the 1988 NES port.
If you dont know this game, maybe this isn't the review for you. In the beginning, there was just Bubble Bobble.
