Gaming Any news about Bubble Bobble Plus?

[HJBSCX]

Google says it is officially released in Japan since early february. Release for USA/EU is supposed to be soon... or should have been already. Is anyone of you already playing the Jap version? Sprite animations look cute, much more frames inbetween like jiggling tails and stuff. :>
From the vids I have seen so far it seems they fucked up the ingame music, and inserted some crappy midi songs, leaving out the bubblebobble tune completely. Can anyone confirm this?

As per Nintendo, it was released on May 25th. I just got the email from Nintendo stating it has been released.

PAL version came out April 10th.

Its not very good, they crippled the way it looks and it just doesn't play right at all to me.

The Bubble Bobble theme is there but its best just to get the NES VC release. If you want new levels try getting Bubble Bobble Part 2 for the NES...well new if you haven't played it but to me its better than the first game.

See, I don't really see all that much difference in the game play. My Wife Loves Bubble Bobble & she never liked any of the spin off games that had in the series. She actually likes this one.

I was never a big fan of the game, but I watched her play it & with the exception of the graphics, it plays great. But, that is one mans opinion.

When I say original, I meant the NES version. I should have been specific.
