Review: Parasol Stars - The Story of Bubble Bobble III on Nintendo Switch

Not a bad low-key bit of old-school arcade action, but it pales in comparison to its OG namesake

Fun fact - at least from everything I’ve heard and read - there never was an arcade version of Parasol Stars. It was “direct to console. First the PC Engine (TurboGrafx-16], then ported to other platforms/systems.
I have somewhat less nostalgia for the original Bubble Bobble. Looks like it came out around 1986. Around that time, I steered away from video games for a few years, trying to focus on high school and college. But I’ve played Bubble Bobble since - really a great arcade game. I like Parasol Stars as well, probably equally so - though I agree, lots of similarities in how both games play.

That would explain my hardly recalling it. I think I've just played so much Bubble Bobble over the years that when you're sort of like it, not much harder, and just lacking in originality I tend to get bored quickly. This has been true of the bulk of attempts to revive Bubble Bobble itself as well
