yay

This is great news, at least for me. Ive been a massive fan of the bubble bobble series since i first played them on my Amiga 500. I was thinking about getting rainbow islands for the DS (and borrowing my mums ds whenever i want to play it) but its not the same using a stylis to create rainbows. I hope they don't change the formula too much as the classic was an amazing game.

Bubble Bobble Evolution

Bubble Bobble Evolution was pretty crappy, it didn't feel like the series at all. I think they need to stick to sprites and not quasi 3D/2D characters. What's the best 2D/sprite version of the game on any system that can be emulated on the PSP?

yes

Yes what is the best emulated version? I remember that i was playing rainbow island on my psp a few months back but for the life of me i cant remember what emulator i was using, think it might have been snes. Don;t think bubble bobble evolution has been released in the UK yet, maybe wrong but havent seen it. I love the idea that they are releasing all these classic games but they really shoulnd't alter them too much. When a game becomes classic anything other than it in its original form will not work, even if its technicaly better. Take music for example. If someone did a cover of Led Zepplin Stairway to heaven, and played it with technicaly harder solo's and with higher quility recording, you'd still think led zep's version was better just because thats the version you fell in love with first.

blah

Hopefully it'll be better than Bubble Bobble Evolution, which really was a big disappointment. Bought, played during a few days, sold, end of story.
