New Bubble Bobble sequel coming to PSP

by Andrew Yoon { Oct 11th 2007 at 9:45AM }

The title doesn't really flaunt its Bubble Bobble heritage, but Rainbow Islands Evolution is yet another addition to the Bubble Bobble franchise. Taito is working on a PSP revival of the long-forgotten Rainbow Islands, which originally released in the arcades in 1987. The new puzzler feature Bub and Bob "under the shadow of an evil record company who is polluting the ecosystem with a constant, mass-produced musical dirge." Does that sound like a political statement to you? According to the press release, "the strict vertical ascents of the original have been expanded and extrapolated into three dimensions, with each level's building-block platforms now following perspective and disappearing into the distance." Once we get video and screenshots of the game, we're sure that'll make a lot more sense.

Hmmmm that Bubble Bobble Evolution game was pretty crappy IMO.

Hope this one isn't as bad.

Isn't this already out for over a year in Europe/UK? Or is it another Rainbow Islands update?
