XBLA: MS Spring '09 Preview: Taito's Bubble Bobble Neo! Announced

Just days after revealing Bubble Bobble Neo! would be coming to the Xbox Live Arcade, Taito have officially announced the game at Microsoft's Spring Preview event.

The game appears to be a port of the recently released Bubble Bobble Plus! for the Wii, complete with new 3D versions of the player characters, arranged and regular modes as well as 4 player multiplayer, online leaderboards and rankings. Whether this will also have online multiplayer is up in the air at the moment.

Bubble Bobble Plus! was considered quite good, but the characters had a lot of aliasing due to their very small size and 3D nature. Hopefully the higher resolution of the Xbox 360 will rectify that.
