Inin Games and Taito have announced that the Bubble Bobble franchise will be returning to store shelves for the first time in more than ten years. Bubble Bobble 4 Friends is currently in development at Taito and will be released exclusively for the Nintendo Switch in Europe on November 19. A North American launch will follow in Early 2020.
This new sequel retains the bubble-blasting battles of its predecessors, while also adding in four-player cooperative play for the first time:
One night, a child’s room became enfolded by a miraculous light and every object under its rays suddenly came to life… including the child’s most favourite toy, the little dragon called Bub. Full of jealousy, the wicked magician Baron Von Blubba challenges the friendly dragon to battle.
