Bubble Bobble 4 Friends

Bubble Bobble fans, rejoice! Following the worldwide success of Bubble Bobble 4 Friends on Nintendo Switch, the beloved arcade duo is bouncing back onto PlayStation 4 later this year. Slated for a physical release and digital download in the US, Europe, and Australia, the PlayStation version promises an expanded experience, including new stages, game modes, and the return of the fan-favorite villain Baron von Blubba.

The PS4 edition, still tentatively titled “Bubble Bobble 4 Friends,” aims to amp up the fun with content enhancements that will also be rolled out to the Switch version. Fans of the series can look forward to jumping back into the bubble-blowing madness later this year, now with even more to explore.

To celebrate the upcoming PS4 launch, Taito and ININ Games are running a special fan art contest. They’re inviting players of all ages to submit their creative takes on the Bubble Bobble universe via Twitter, using the official Taito account @TaitoCorp. Winners will have their artwork featured in the game’s credits and will receive recognition with their nickname attached.

Participants have until May 31st, 2020 (Japan time) to submit their entries, with ten winners selected after the contest closes. Full details, rules, and prizes are available on the official contest page. This is a perfect opportunity for fans to showcase their artistic skills and become a part of Bubble Bobble history.

Critics have lauded the game’s return; Nintendo Life called it “one of the great arcade classics,” giving it an 8/10, while Eurogamer described Bubble Bobble 4 Friends as “a simple-satisfying revival of an all-time great.” Fans can expect more bubble-blowing fun hitting PlayStation soon.
