| On Friday, February 3rd, TAITO will release a video featuring some details of the online battle mode, actual gameplay, and a message from the development staff and from the title's protagonist, Bub. The video will premiere on Bub's YouTube channel, "Bub's Broadcast," starting at 11:00 CET on Friday, with English subtitles. Before that time, a short trailer is available for you at the same link, starting from today, 14:00 CET. |
| PUZZLE BOBBLE VS SPACE INVADERS But that's not all! Puzzle Bobble Everybubble! also includes a very special game crossover: PUZZLE BOBBLE VS SPACE INVADERS, perfect to celebrate the 45th anniversary of one of the games that made arcade history, and, to be fair, most of our childhoods. In this mode, players try to erase the bubble-encapsulated Invaders by stacking three or more bubbles of the same color together, whilst avoiding the Invaders' shots. Bubbles can only be fired straight up, so players have to move their characters left and right, just like in the universally beloved arcade game. Up to four players can play cooperatively. |

| About Puzzle Bobble: Puzzle Bobble (a.k.a. Bust-A-Move) is an action-puzzle game where the brothers Bub and Bob, who have been transformed into bubble dragons by a wizard's spell, go on a bubble-bursting adventure. The classic gameplay formula is simple but addictive: using various items and gimmicks, connect three or more bubbles of the same color to remove them from the field and progress. A spin-off from the 1986 arcade hit Bubble Bobble, Puzzle Bobble/Bust-A-Move has seen over 20 series titles across countless platforms since its 1994 debut. As the sole owner of Bubble Bobble and Puzzle Bobble's worldwide IP including copyrights and trademarks, TAITO will continue to expand both properties going forward. |
