WiiWare: Direct Feed Screens Of Bubble Bobble WiiWare, Plus Official Name Revealed

bubblebobbleplus.jpg

After the reveal of the first screenshots of Bubble Bobble Wii in Famitsu Magazine two weeks ago, the Famitsu website has now added an full article with far higher resolution screenshots for us to all look at.

It certainly has a bit of a bizarre graphical design to it - the backgrounds and levels are very much taking the style from the original Arcade and NES game, while the character sprites are enhanced to a much higher resolution.

The article shows off the additional expert modes, available as downloadable content, as well as the Wi-Fi Rankings included in the game - something very much needed and usually omitted from WiiWare titles. It will split the rankings in both worldwide and region based ranking.

Finally, the German rating board has recently rated the game, giving it its official western title Bubble Bobble Plus! Look out for it soon, and check out the rest of the screenshots below.
