BreaKBeatZ 128 Member · Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I just saw an ad for this on my facebook feed and bought it immediately. I'm not really into current collector's editions, but Bubble Bobble is one of my favorite games ever and this one comes with a lot of cool stuff. Just thought I would share: https://store.strictlylimitedgames.com/collections/all/products/bubble-bobble-4-friends-collectors-edition-nintendo-switch-preorder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez 2,292 Member · Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I preordered this months ago, but I also ordered the regular version of the game since that preorder was up earlier, and came out nearly a month ago. I'm a huge fan of Bubble Bobble, so I might actually keep the SLG order around for all the swag, but honestly - the new game is so terribly bad that double dipping for it will probably end up making me feel so bad that I should just cancel the order now. It really understands absolutely zero of what made pretty much all the classic Bubble Bobble titles great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just saw Bubble Bobble Collector's Edition and snap bought it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Romiked2689 117 Member · Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I love how they did this like bleep store in Japan did with two shmups. slg for some reason re did the Darius release for switch again. Makes no sense but I bought it regardless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I passed on the SLG release because I was spending too much on other stuff. Still was looking to eventually pick up the game at retail. Maybe if it's not very good it will eventually be cheap to pick up on sale. But I was hoping this would actually be a good sequel. This and Bust a Move have been getting such awful installments since the Wii / DS games, it's sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went in big time on this release, shmups always end up being in demand anyway and I love this series. My only gripe is it doesn't include G-Darius but oh well.

Code Monkey 1,755 Member · Posted December 5, 2019 Share Posted December 5, 2019 I didn't know this was even being made. Looks fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bleep store had more then the slg release. I got the play Asia one it was a must buy. Slg is just overkill personally but I think it might have two additional games or is that the same ones from the play Asia limited edition?

AstralSoul 471 Member · Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I preordered the regular version of Bubble Bobble 4 Friends. Looks good. I haven't played a good Bubble Bobble since BB2 on NES. I really hope this actually plays well! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sumez 2,292 Member · Posted December 6, 2019 Share Posted December 6, 2019 I'm sorry to disappoint you. Then again, if you think the NES BB2 is good, your threshold might be different than mine. Though to be honest, I would have been perfectly satisfied with a game on that level. The last great Bubble Bobble game was Bubble Memories, but I really hope we'll get another one some day.
