Taito's brand-new instalment in the Puzzle Bobble series launches this spring and in a surprising yet adorable move, Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! will have a brand new mode which celebrates Space Invaders. (Thanks, Gematsu!)
Nope, you're not reading that wrong at all. For the legendary arcade game's 45th anniversary, Bub, Bob, Peb, and Pab can shoot down invaders all with the magic of colour-matching bubbles in a mode called 'Puzzle Bobble vs. Space Invaders'. Simple, and effective.
You can play this new mode with up to four players cooperatively, and the goal is to get rid of the bubbles that have the invaders marked on them by sticking three or more bubbles of the same colour to them.
There's also a twist — if you're observant, you might see that the little dinosaurs don't have their usual bubble-launching machine, and that's because you can only fire the bubbles directly upwards. Just like Space Invaders, then! You can move left and right, but there are no clever wall-bouncing tricks to be utilised here.
You can see for yourself how this unusual mash-up will play in the video below.
Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! will launch sometime this spring. What do you think of this cutesy blend of Bub, Bob, and aliens? Pop off in the comments!

And the world will never be the same because of it.
Awwww!!! It just keeps getting better and better!
And speaking of Space Invaders, it would have been really cool if they had included a Space Invaders stage in Smash Bros. (and some spirits too). Perhaps it's not too late?
Very cool. I must have this.
A Space Invaders mode?
Haha, I like the sound of that.
I wish this game was visually more impressive. I don't mean like... 3D or anything... but hand drawn animations would have been nice rather than what looks like basic flash player interpolation. It's cute but it looks like a mobile game
It looks like silly good fun. It's neat seeing new game modes for two old classics.
Another game I'd probably have loved if it wasn't ruined (IMO) by the ~2000's flash game graphics. Same thing happened with Snow Bros
@NeonPizza I guess it looks fine in the normal gameplay and this is only a bonus mode...
I'm actually looking forward to this game, and this just made it even better.
Bonkers...
...I LOVE IT!
Awesome! I will definitely be trying out this Pazubovader game later this year. I love Taito
Plus the physical of Dariusburst should be out this spring or summer, so there will be plenty of Taito mashup fun.
May I suggest a Rastan + Elevator Action combination next?
The Taito fanboy in me is GEEKING OUT!!!!!!!
Day 1 purchase right there...would be fun if they also brought back 8-player mode from the Wii game
Arkanoid vs Space Invaders rocked!
