Re-Release the Puzzle Bobble Series


Re-Release the Puzzle Bobble Series
The Issue
Re-release the Puzzle Bobble Series:
I’m been a fan of the Puzzle Bobble Series since I’ve own Puzzle Bobble 2 (which is my favorite Game out of the Series) on PC back in the early 2000s and been a fan of the Series ever since. The problem is that many Gamers had often pass up this Series because of how cute and cheerful the series is, not many Gamers have ever heard of it or played Clones of this Series on iPhone etc.
When the Series came outside of Japan starting in the 90s, it was retitled Bust-A-Move (Which many assumed that it’s a dancing type Game) with some of them have different Artworks which does represent the Games. The best example is Puzzle Bobble 2 (Bust-A-Move 2: Arcade Edition) for the PS1 and Sega Saturn in which that one was infamous for having a not-so-scary Cover Art for younger gamers to pick up and play.
Now that I’ve talked about a little history of the Series, I want to talk about Taito bringing the series on Modern Consoles in both Physical and Digital form. I want Taito to re-release these Games with some Online Play since Puzzle Bobble Everybubble, the recent game in the series has online play as well for the first time. Plus, I really want to see other older Games getting some spotlight for once.
All of that aside, these are all the games I want to see in the Collection including the never before released Super Puzzle Bobble: The Arcade Version. Here’s the hope that every Puzzle Bobble Fan and Non-Fan to convince Taito to release these games on Modern Console in the future.
I will referred to these games as Puzzle Bobble and NOT Bust-A-Move:
Part 1:
Puzzle Bobble (Arcade)
Puzzle Bobble (SNES Version)
Puzzle Bobble 2: Arcade Edition
Puzzle Bobble 2X
Puzzle Bobble 3 (Console Version)
Puzzle Bobble 64 (AKA Puzzle Bobble 3: The N64 Version because that one has a 4 Player Mode)
Puzzle Bobble Mini (Neo Geo Pocket Color)
Part 2:
Puzzle Bobble 4: The Arcade Version (I honestly liked the Voices in this one better than the Console Version)
Puzzle Bobble 4: The Console Version (There's also a Dreamcast Version of this Game that has much more cleaner Sprites in it.)
Super Puzzle Bobble: The Arcade Version. (This one was never released outside of Japan and I really like some of the Original Music on it too.)
Super Puzzle Bobble (PS2) = There's also a GameCube Version of the Game called Super Puzzle Bobble All-Stars.
Super Puzzle Bobble 2 (PS2)
Ultra Puzzle Bobble (Xbox)
Puzzle Bobble Millennium (Game Boy Color) = Believe it or not, this one has a 2 Player Mode through Connect Cable.
Part 3:
Pullback!! Puzzle Bobble (Nintendo DS)
Puzzle Bobble Bash! (Nintendo Wii)
Space Puzzle Bobble (Nintendo DS)
Puzzle Bobble Plus! (Wiiware)
New Puzzle Bobble on the iOS (I'm not sure if Taito can release this game since it was only on iOS and I doubt many Gamers cared to play it.)
Tobidasu! Puzzle Bobble 3D (Nintendo 3DS)
Ultra Puzzle Bobble Pocket (The PSP Version of the Xbox's Ultra Puzzle Bobble)
Also, here are my Top 5 Changes that I want to see:
1. No Tam-Tam Theme Song from PB4: Console Version. Every single time someone picks him, his song plays. I don’t know who at Taito came up with that idea, I myself had never liked the song in which why I never used Tam-Tam.
2. Change some of the Characters Orb abilities from down to up and change their Orb Attacks. For example: Tam-Tam’s Orb attack from PB4 has the same Orb attack as Bub except it goes down instead of up. Originally started in PB3 for Luna Luna, the whole idea of it is to wear the opponent down and drawn the Match out. But I find it boring and it’s worse when two people play the same character with that same ability. Especially with Chain Reactions on.
Trust me, I’ve seen a match with Tam-Tam that took 13 minutes to finished with 2 Players on YouTube in PB4 and with Chain Reaction, which is one of my favorite things in the game. So I want to see Taito to either at least give these Characters some new Orb attacks that goes up, give them both up and down or at least give them the option to switch Orb attacks.
3. Give some characters some new Orb Attacks in PB4: As much as I love PB4, I can’t overlooked the fact that some characters has the same attack as Bub. I’ve counted Develon, Tam-Tam (his goes down), Maita and Drunk or Dreg in the English Version (his goes both up and down). Taito should give them new Orbs Attacks or at least give them the ones in Super Puzzle Bobble: The Arcade Version.
4. Keep the Characters unlocked in the Super Puzzle Bobble PS2 Duology: Every time someone turns on the PS2, you have to enter a cheat to unlock the characters and it gets annoying to do so as the previous Game PB4 didn't had that issue. Hopefully, Taito would be generous enough to have the Characters unlocked from the start in all the games as well.
5. Take out the English Voices in Super Puzzle Bobble 2 on the PS2 and bring back the Japanese Voices: Ok, who's dumb idea was it to add English Voices in the Game? Taito, PLEASE take out the English voices because they are HORRIBLE!
