Only played the NES version, which I loved, so I'm sure the SMS version is just as good. That's a great color balance for SMS box art.

They lost the source code to the original so every port is wrong

>>5970084
How can a port be "wrong" when it's going to be highly abbreviated as per chip limitations anyway?

>>5970069
SMS is considered the definitive version with the most extra levels and new bosses

>>5970107
Why didn't they release it in North America? Weird.

>>5970074
Me too. Me and my mom loved the Nintendo version, but somehow I missed out on Bubble Bobble 2 too. I had to have seen it existed on Funcoland's pricing flyer. Maybe it was just even expensive back then too. I'm not sure why we never got it.

>>5970107
better than the arcade?

That's awesome that your mom played Bubble Bobble with you, legit envious. Bet you have some great memories. It very well could have been during that game price skyrocket that happened around 1986-87. I remember my mother refusing to buy Gradius at $35.00 because the games were 15-20 a month ago. When they then shot up to 50-60 that's when I'd never hear the end of how expensive they were.

Yeah, I have a lot of good memories of us sitting on the floor in front of our big, wooden, console TV playing games together. She really enjoyed Bubble Bobble, Mario, Contra, and a lot of puzzle games. (Wario's Woods for SNES is really underrated!)
Oh yeah, she actually enjoyed and would always offer to help me by farming coins in Zelda too lol... Ahh I miss those times and love my mom...

Technically, I believe the NES version has more extra levels, since there are twelve more levels if you pick up the crystal on round 99. SMS just has more level design changes compared to the arcade version.

In my opinion, the best version is Sharp X68000. It's pretty much arcade perfect and includes Sybubblun, a hidden extra game made by the original developer..

Have you tried the Taito Legends compilation port for PS2 perchance?

I only nostalgia for the C64 and NES version

>>5970069
when i was young there was a version ported to pc i think it was just an arcade version , it's been so long i cant remember but i know it came with 2 discs (that i sadly havent had for years)

>>5970069
>Which ones are your favorite
The one where they put samus in her place

FM Towns port included a special bub figurine and has nice arranged credit music.

Now that's a classy quality extra, unironically.

>>5970598
and master chief

>>5971402
its shit

Bubble Symphony is the best game in the series, change my mind

>>5970298
Yeah X68 version is probably best

>>5970074
NES version is shit compared to arcade
t. someone who didn't grow up with the NES version

This game is a sequel to Bubble Bobble, with the same playable characters.

>>5971540
Parasol Stars is great.

>>5971540
>>5971572
The ending makes me cry every time

Parasol Star is a better game

Y'know, it's almost like the PC-Engine (and maybe Amiga) version of Rainbow Islands is the equivalent to the NES version of Bubble Bobble with how much more popular it is than the arcade original

I like the arcade version the most I guess.
I put many a coin into it at the fish 'n' chip shop in the old days.

My mom would play Columns III with me and dance to the multiplayer music. Good times.

Hot.

I have nes.

I think I like the NES version more. Its music is better and the colors seem more vibrant, even though the Master System should have had that cornered.
