A sequel to Bubble Bobble called Bubble Bobble 2 was also released for the NES, as well as Rainbow Islands, a sequel to the first two games.
Bubble Bobble has been widely recognized as one of the most playable games of all time, owing much of its success to its previously described game mechanics, which are only apparently simple, and its many hidden features and secrets.
Some Bubble Bobble ports however, from the date of release of the arcade version up to day, have been heavily criticized for the poor quality of their mechanics (or, rather, their not being similar enough to the arcade).
Puzzle Bobble (known in the United States and sometimes in Europe as Bust a Move) is an arcade puzzle game series created by Taito and contains elements of Sega's Columns and Atari's Breakout.
At the top of the rectangular playing arena, a number of balls of various colours are placed in a prearranged pattern at the start of the level.
As well as typically cute Japanese animation (the characters from Bubble Bobble operate the cannon) and music, the game's mechanics and level design were beautifully balanced, and the game was terrifically successful at the arcades, spawning several sequels.
