Bubble Bobble Neo XBLA
« on: August 06, 2009, 01:23:54 AM »
Seems to be pretty much the same as the Wii Ware version, but looks a little better.  I played two-player with my wife (HOLY SHIT IS THAT A RARE OCCURRENCE  :o :o :o); we made it up to level 72 in classic mode and only like level 21 in arranged, basically getting stuck on the same thing: Bubble jumping.  I remember 72 being somewhat annoying, but in the XBLA version it was incredibly frustrating to the point that I wonder if they messed up.  You are stuck in an area that you have to bubble jump to get out of, but the corridor is too thin, and I was barely able to get three bubbles out at a time, which would burst before getting to the top.  :/

Other stuff:

-Unlimited continues, but of course if you lose all your lives, your score resets, and that's what's important.
-Arranged is not widescreen like in the Wii Ware version.  WHY NOT?
-The music cuts out if the ghost whales come after you and does not return.
-There's a spot for DLC; presumably the same DLC content the Wii version got.  (More levels)
-There's a new versus mode that's been added.  We tried it at it just seemed to be another set of (even harder) levels.  Couldn't get past the first one!   :lol

Is it?  When I checked, it wasn't out in the U.S., just Japan.

No.  You're right.  I was going by the GAF XBLA thread originally.

It's not?   :o  I didn't even look to see about that option; that sucks.

When I checked the online rankings, it had scores for single and two-players though...

*gasp* could it be because those people played with two people like the game asks you at the start?

Then how about the modes with three and four players?   :P

It's gotta be local.
