Topic: So anyone get Bubble Bobble Plus or Adventure Island: The Beginning?

Yeah, BB+. But, to be fair, I only played a couple levels. I think I'll go play some more now.

Nevermind, BB+ is pretty awesome. I got to like, 20 something and got stuck, but now I think I know what I did wrong.

Now, should I play BB+ again, or Klonoa...? goes to decide things

I am in a situation. I want to get BB+ but I fear that it has some annoying glitches and might lack the nostalgia factor I crave in BB. I want to get AI:TB but I see the game could be too short and rough around the edges.

I see so many here wanting BB+, but I have been wanting a traditional platformer in a while...

I bought Bubble Bobble Plus. I played a little bit of it,and it was fun. But,I think a certain game called Metroid Prime is asking why I have NEVER played it,so I must pay Metroid Prime a long visit before I can play Bubble Bobble Plus a lot!
I also purchased Clayfighter.

Ya, BB+

Yea! it was a great week for Wii-Ware in the USA! Bubble Bobble and Adventure Island! I'm happy and won't complain about the lack of support for other systems this week... oops, too late!

Is there really no save in Bubble Bobble? You have to play through a set of 100 levels in one sitting?

It's an ARCADE game. What do you expect?

I too purchased Bubble Bobble Plus, that is replacing its VC counterpart. I havn't played it as much as I would like, mainly because I'm completly hooked to Majoras Mask at the moment and its a fairly long game, especially since I never truely played it back in 2000 when I was young, naive and not that great at gaming as I am now. So Far I am enjoying it, mainly in short bursts since its that kind of entertainment. I hope to get more people in my family to play the game with me since it lacks online play but thats alright. Definatly a pick up if your a fan of the original or arcade games.

There's really no save in BB+? That kind of sucks.

Like Syrek says... "it's great in short bursts"... but a short burst will never get me through 100 levels since there isn't a save. It's still a great game though.

No, it's now a Wii-ware game that does save gameplay information but it doesn't let you save your spot... weird

You know what's harsh? I got stuck on Level 99 out of the initial 100. It was getting late, and me and my friend gave up. I have to admit that the "bubble hopping" is much harder in this Wii-make!

How long does it take to get through 100 levels?

@longtimegamer

Hard for me to say for sure because my friend had to keep stopping to help his GF with OoT... But I'd say 1 hour without F-ing around, dying alot, or breaking for minutes on end.

Remember, there's different modes though, eachwith 100 levels each.

Yeah, the no save thing is pretty crappy. Unless I can round up some friends + Wiimotes and get them addicted to it, I'll probably never see the game's end, it's just impossible to commit to 100 levels in one sitting by yourself...

@Popyman- I just bought this today and beat the first mode on the list. It took me hours. Not sure how many, but my Wii says I spent 7 hrs and 10 min. doing something. It's hard to believe that it took that long. I knew it at least took a few hours.

By the way, you get the best ending if a friend play with you. It really sucked to beat it alone, go through all that frustration and have it tell me that. I think the single ending sucked. Kind of ticked me off.

I have it, but cant get anywhere, since a certain level starts you off in a narrow thing you cant get out of.

Otherwsie its an excellent game and the first WiiWare game I could be arsed with.

I'm talking about the genre. For all its intents and purposes, its an arcade game. Yes gameplay information is saved but save states aren't included but that's the whole points. As an arcade experience, they included a Credit system for dedicated players.

Oh and when they said Expert, they weren't kidding. I got the two DLC packs right away. I'm hoping to play more of this tomorrow because I didn't play for too long on Monday because of work and whatnot.

@Ragnor - Just look in one direction,blow bubbles, and jump at the same time. You can ride all those bubbles out of there. That one took me along time to figure out. Hope that helps.

Oh, and wait till you get to the 99th level. That was a pain in the butt for me too.

Eh, 100 levels shouldn't take that long unless you're really really rubbish, in which case I'd say stop continuing (they reset your score anyway) and improve your game!
