His hobby is exploring new and unknown places, and dreams of becoming an adventurer.īub's trademark ability involves producing and firing bubbles from his mouth.

Bub's catchphrase is "Payonpah!" ( 「ぱよんぱー!」, Payonpā ?), a nonsense word that he often exclaims happily.

The screen dimensions just may take some getting used to.Bub is a green Bubble Dragon with yellow spines. If you really want to take Bubble Bobble with you on the road, this version is a good one.

What you really need to ask yourself is.how badly do you want a portable version of Bubble Bobble? The game is also available on the NES and PS1, not to mention the Wii's virtual console. The original Gameboy Advance and the Gameboy Micro are not the best way to play this game. The DS, DS Lite and the Gameboy Advance SP also provide a comfortable playing experience. A Gameboy Player is the best way to play this game if you have one available. On the GBA's small screen, this can be a little taxing on the eyes. Since the GBA's screen is wider than that of the arcade original, when zoomed out the image is centered on the GBA's screen. While this can be rectified with the simple press of the "R" button to view the entire playing field, the games graphical quality takes a tremendous hit when zoomed out in this way. This can make for some very annoying deaths with enemies dropping in from above, or flying up from below outside your field of vision.

The default setting of the game is "zoomed in" and you can see a fair amount of the playing feild but not all of it. To anyone who enjoyed playing any previous version, the hardest aspect to adjust to is the fact that the entire playing feild is not visible all at once. While the two versions share the same tremendously enjoyable gameplay, they also share a few minor problems. In the "new" version, the are quite a few continues available. It should be noted though, that in the original "old" version, you only get one "credit" to go through the entire game.

The graphics are spot on, and the music comes close to the quality of the arcade original. As the name suggests, there are two versions on this cart.old and new. You don't need any knowledge of Japanese in enjoy the game, as all of the in game text is written in English. Only the game menus are in Japanese (Katakana) and are very self explanitory.

Even so, this is an extremely import friendly game. I'm not sure if this game was released in North America, as I am reviewing the Japanese version. Bubble Bobble Old and New for the GBA is an excellent adaptation of the original arcade game, and superior to the popular NES version.
