Late last month a new game (actually a remake of the 90s classic Bust-A-Move or, if you lived in Japan at the time, Puzzle Bobble) for Nintendo DS literally popped onto shelves across the country. Space Bust-A-Move makes you feel like you’re playing a video game on one of those old standing machines in the local arcade – sticky floors, quarters, bells, whistles and all.

This bubbles on the screen at that time of the same color.
You can aim and fire using the stylus and touch screen but much easier is aiming with the good old D pad and firing with the A button. And one feature in Space Bust-a-Move you won’t find in the original version is the cosmo bubble, which randomly appears throughout the stages. The trick is to free the bubble without accidentally destroying it.
There are many modes of play. Multiplayer includes being able to play with others through the Wi-Fi connection or DS play. For single player you play through eight worlds with three stages and a boss battle each, and within each stage are five levels. If you do the math, that adds up to a whole lot of bubble-bursting goodness.
