Finally to which one? Bubble Bobble? I spent sooo many quarters on this game growing up.

3D update? Heck no! Just because you CAN make something 3D doesn't necessarily mean you SHOULD make it 3D. This is still by today's standards an incredibly fun, addictive game. ...and that contagious song will be stuck in my head 'til the day I die :)

Anyone who would drop a finally to Top Hunter has some questions to answer.

Anyone know if the NES version of Bubble Bobble is any good? I'm only familiar with the arcade version, which was awesome.

As far as I know, the NES version is identical to the arcade version (I played both), just with 8-bit graphics and sound. I think the arcade version had more colors and better sound. Been a long time since I've played, so my memory of all the details is a little fuzzy.

The NES version has a few different levels (not many), and slightly different mechanics. For example, it's easier in the NES version to get out of those 1-tile wide wells. And for some odd reason, the gum powerups are different colors.

Still, it's a pretty solid port and worth owning until the day comes where there's VC MAME and they bring the arcade version of Bubble Bobble to Wii (if ever).

I never played the arcade version, but I was addicted to the NES version. Buy it, you won't be sorry!

Can you guys help me out? I got some Wii points for Christmas. I have 3300 left and I was wondering if you have any suggestions outside of Nintendo's games. Thanks.

Bubble Bobble is in my top 10... with Adventures of Lolo, Megaman and Mario series.

Also, don't be deterred by the video in this post. The sound is not quite that crappy. And the game does not have that much slowdown (until later levels when numerous baddies are crowding the screen).

Yes... Please take that video down, it's being played on an emulator on a crappy computer and makes the game look awful.

Top Hunter, not even a very good game on Neo Geo (I have it). Bright and colorful, but not very engaging.

Light Crusader on the other hand, is literally a Treasure. One of the best games on the Genesis, hands down.

What's so special about the Light Crusader video at 4:40? So he's selling stuff to a cat. Games have had buying and selling in them before to all sorts of crazy characters. Like Neko from Secret of Mana (which came out two years prior to this game (and looks way better (why isn't that on the VC yet?))).

I'd say the video is most interesting at 3:32 where it shows that you can mix elements to get different kinds of spells in a simple Golden Sun sort of way.

Yes to Bubble Bobble!

Boo to a) the quality of the video, b) the guy who's playing.... I'm thinking that I would have gotten almost all the letters for extend by level 10, or be well on my way to it.

This, and Gauntlet had to be the largest eaters of my meager grade school money.

I wish I had a a Wii so I could download this game and play it on my VC. That was one of my favorite titles back in my childhood days, and now it's there. Nice way to end this year's VC games.

Now bring Snow Bros.!

Why couldn't they have gotten the NeoGeo version of Bubble Bobble on the Wii VC? I mean, that is the arcade version after all.

The NES version is both perfectly competent and near and dear to people's hearts. It's not BETTER than the arcade like Life Force and Contra, but it's definitely an NES game that I wouldn't mind hooking up.

Bubble Bobble wasn't on the NeoGeo. Hell, it predates the release of the NeoGeo by four years. I don't think any of its sequels were, either.

However, Puzzle Bobble (aka Bust-A-Move) WAS on the NeoGeo.
