There’s a new Puzzle Bobble and it’s very important  ⊟

Don’t just take it from me, the person who drinks coffee from a Bubble Bobble mug every morning and is on stage 1174 (oh no) of Bub’s Puzzle Blast, a game I only found by accident while looking for a new Bust a Move/Puzzle Bobble.

Look at the above video, with its four-player co-op (including Story Mode), hi-res Bub, Bob, Peb, and Pab, little Miniroons, and so many bubbles. Everybubble, in fact! Puzzle Bobble Everybubble will be out on Switch next year.

New Bubble and/or Puzzle Bobble games aren’t always… good, but I’m getting my hopes way up anyway. Sky high! I definitely won’t survive even a slight disappointment.

Are you the absolute maniac who will buy Bob with no Bub ⊟

I don’t think such a person exists, yet First Press is selling plushes of the player 2 Bubble Bobble character separately from the more well-known Bub. Nothing against Bob, and in fact I prefer the blue color, but I feel like Bob has yet to achieve Luigi-level breakout status.

Both are also being sold as pricier, more “limited” versions that play Bubble Bobble sounds.
