Item Condition

Game only: the cartridge in a protective holder, no box or manual. Look over the photos for condition, packaging and details. Every cartridge's shell, label and board are checked for authenticity when it comes into the store, and it's tested before it's listed. It ships in a collector's bag or a hard plastic case.

Item Description

The bank shot is where Bust-A-Move 2 hooks you. Lining up a bubble to ricochet off the side wall and slip into a gap you could never hit straight on feels great every single time, and when that shot pops the bubbles anchoring a whole cluster, everything hanging beneath them comes tumbling down. Taito's Puzzle Bobble 2, known in American arcades as Bust-A-Move Again, took the original's simple loop and gave it more places to go.

The biggest addition is a branching map in the single-player puzzle game. Every so often you choose which of two groups of five levels to tackle next, and the route you pick leads toward different endings, so a second trip through is not just a replay. Bub and Bob, the bubble-blowing dragons from Bubble Bobble, man the launcher, and the boards are a smart mix of color matching and geometry problems as the ceiling grinds steadily lower.

Versus play is where friendships get tested. Every group you drop sends extra bubbles onto your opponent's side, so one well-planned collapse can bury them, and the tournament against the computer lines up a series of rivals, several of them riffs on Bubble Bobble's monsters. Critics loved the head-to-head mode from the start, and Electronic Gaming Monthly named the PlayStation and Saturn versions a runner-up for its Puzzle Game of the Year.

Acclaim brought the game to the Nintendo 64 nearly two years after those disc versions, making this cartridge the way N64 owners got Taito's arcade sequel on their own system. On a console packed with 3D platformers and racers, it fills a real gap: a bright, fast puzzler that takes ten seconds to explain and keeps two players leaning toward the screen for an entire evening.

About the game

Bub and Bob are back! Like in Tetris in reverse, you shoot bubbles at an array of different-colored bubbles stuck in an ever descending ceiling, attempting to match them up three by three to make them disappear. This edition contains both puzzle challenges, multiplayer and normal progressive stages.
