'Bubble Bobble 4 Friends' (Switch) Includes Original Bubble Bobble Coin-op Version

Sequel to the cult '80s game series, in Bubble Bobble 4 Friends the epic bubble fight starts again and includes a brand-new, local four-player mode.

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 favorite toy, the little dragon called Bub.

Full of jealousy, the wicked magician Baron von Blubba challenges the friendly dragon to battle.

In the '80s and '90s, the players jumped through the levels either solo or in the two-player mode. In the new part of the popular Bubble Bobble series, a 4-player cooperative mode is integrated, providing even more fun with friends.

Bubble Bobble 4 Friends will include the coin-op version of 1986's Bubble Bobble in arcade-perfect quality – this means besides the 100 stages in Bubble Bobble 4 Friends, there will be 100 more in the original Bubble Bobble to enjoy with original music, sound and visuals.

Bubble Bobble is an iconic cult game and is considered the most popular and innovative platformer of the ’80s. The twins Bub and Bob set out to free their girlfriends from the hands of the nasty baron, who also enchanted them into bubble dragons. As such, the brothers hop through the differently arranged platforms of the 100 colourful levels and shoot bubbles at numerous enemies. In the '80s and '90s, players jumped solo or in two-player co-op mode through the levels. Bubble Bobble's success has seen it ported to more than 20 different platforms in recent decades, including the C64, Sega Mega Drive and NES Classic Mini.

Collectors can also look forward to a strictly limited and very extensive Collector's Edition of Bubble Bobble 4 Friends, distributed exclusively by Strictly Limited Games, which includes numerous exclusive contents related to Bubble Bobble.

After more than 10 years, Bubble Bobble 4 Friends will be released both digitally and physically exclusively for Nintendo Switch in Europe on November 19, 2019, with the release in the USA to follow in the first quarter of 2020.
