#Bubble bobble nintendo free#
(Editor's note: InIn reached out to announce that free DLC content is planned for later in the year.) It's the classic monkey's paw scenario - I finally got a great new Bubble Bobble, but there's just not enough of it for the price. Instead, it costs too much and has way too little to justify that price tag. This is a game that should have probably cost a little less or included a little more - either one or the other. But in this time of economic uncertainty, forty bucks for a video game is asking a lot, and if you're going to charge that, you'd best be delivering.īut 4 Friends doesn't deliver, at least not on the content front. Where does this leave Bubble Bobble 4 Friends, then? It's a great game that feels good, looks good, and has charm for days.

Taito is a developer that made some of the most mechanically refined titles to come out of the 80s and early 90s - games which still stand the test of time on most fronts. The closest comparison I can think of is Celeste, in that it carefully threads that needle between accessibility and depth.Ĥ Friends lives up to the stellar reputation of the Taito classics. If you're a fan of really mastering games, this game gives you the tools you need to succeed, and if not, it's easy enough to pick up and play for fun. Every single movement that your little dinosaur friends can take feels intentional, from crawling to fall speed to air control. That's on top of the delicate platforming that often involves blowing bubbles and riding them up to higher platforms, and the timed nature of each level.Ĥ Friends is a project in which mechanics were clearly at the forefront of the developer's vision. There's a compelling combo system that incentivizes bubbling multiple enemies at once, then popping them for more points. It's easy enough to grasp, but 4 Friends really pushes the limits of the formula.
Monsters get trapped in the bubbles, you pop those bubbles, and then you move on to the next level. For those not in the know, the central Bubble Bobble formula involves platforming and spitting bubbles at monsters.
