Bubble Bobble/Rainbow Islands Handheld Review

Bubble Bobble's My Arcade port is pretty good. This is the NES version of the game. The Rainbow Islands port is also an NES version (so no Beyond the Rainbow music). You can play it with a mini USB plug or 4 batteries. It doesn't hold a charge like a phone or other gaming systems, so that was a bit of a disappointment. All in all, this is your best bet if you're looking for a decent portable version of the original Rainbow Islands game. One caveat - Bubble Bobble 2 is very buggy. For some reason it has a two player mode. The volume control switches from "mute" to "loud". The graphics are pretty good considering the screen size. All games are full color which is both a blessing and a curse. Some Rainbow Islands levels where there are multiple enemies of the same color as the background prove difficult. But this game is great, just like my old NES. In all games, the controls lag a bit behind. There are no triple rainbows or backward scrolling in the Rainbow Islands. Some gravity in Bubble Bobble is impractical. This item is a great value for those who want to play Bubble on the go without paying for a GBA or DS.

Pros
  • 2.75 inch full color display - for a premium nostalgic gaming experience
Cons
  • Quality
