I love Bubble Bobble, It's one of the best games that i ever played in all my life. I renember when i played it with my mom and my brother, good and old times...
This port is spot on, and can also be played in English in a hidden option menu (via the Ving code, which you used, and also works for Elevator Action Returns to unlock the original, and in Liquid Kids to play it in English). In there, if you can read Japanese, is a language option, play as either default Japanese Bubble Symphony, US Bubble Symphony, or the European Bubble Bobble II. I'm lucky to have this, and it's perfect companion piece, Liquid Kids, for my Saturn (I also have BS on Taito Memories PS2, and LK on US Legends and Japanese Memories PS2 compilations, I have both US and all 4 Japanese ones). For years I thought the item drops in this and Bubble Bobble, as well as Rainbow Islands, Parasol Stars, and Bubble Memories, were random. Turns out EVERYTHING in this game works by hidden offscreen counters, like steps taken, jumps taken, bubbles busted. 1 crediting this game on real hardware is also extremely hard to do. I've never ever done it. Can't even 1 credit Parasol Stars but have beaten the true boss on a number of occasions. The Rainbow Necklace and beating the boss of same world is key, it leads to a 99 continue coin inside a silver door, or an orange ball that instakills the last boss's first form.
This game is my drug, it is addictive as hell, the whole series is, right down to the Gameboy titles too. There was a time I wasn't high on Bubble Memories, since I felt it was a step back from Symphony, but the more I played it in MAME, then on my PS2, the more it grew on me. Beautiful game in it's own rights, and shares the Bub/Bob sprite with the Puzzle Bobble games as both use Taito F3 hardware, just like this game here.
@@U_Legacy NintendoComplete has the code in the decription of this video, and you can hear the chime of when he puts it in in the beginning of the video.
@@7ngel It's in the cheat menu, though the options in the cheat menu are written in Japanese, so while the game is very import friendly, the option menu isn't. I used to have it written in a notebook what each option in the cheat menu is for, I have long forgotten them, and can't find the notebook, but it shouldn't be hard to figure out what does what in the menu, because there's not a ton of options within that menu.
Which is the better game? Symphony or Memories? Scratch that - I like this one, though I like Bub and Bob’s sprites in Memories better. More interesting bosses, backgrounds music is definitely improved
@@QF_Dan72 Memories is even easier, Super Mode, get the 7 Rainbow Potions. Here it's get the 4 keys, Super Mode, become human again by collecting the R, O, and D letter in certain stages, so you have to do a bit more here to get the best ending. The easiest of the series to get the best ending? Bubble Bobble Part 2 NES, survive 80 levels without running out of continues, beat the game, voila, best and only ending of the game.
How do you make sure to find the key (or the crystal ball that reveals it) in a world? And is there no save or level select feature? In the first game (some versions anyway), after finishing you could go back to levels where you hadn't found a letter or key and it would tell you which levels they were in.
Bubble Symphony is miles better than the original 1986 Bubble Bobble. Level designs are better, visuals look more refreshing and the way to get the good ending is much easier
But 43 less levels than the original, the bonus rooms count as rooms as well, and if you get into all of them, there's 62 levels (57 without going into them). At least Bubble Memories bumped it back up to 80, 70 if you don't get the 7 Rainbow Potions.
Invader looks so happy with those flashing eyes! Being a robot is cool. And the Invader now clearly shoot their lasers out of their mouths, which could be the case in earlier Bubble Bobble games. Let's hope it wasn't the other way out... O.o
@@HeIsTheBluesCat That's why you can see those stars instead of two letters, otherwise it would be too nasty, rude, etc. Still, Invader's shot reminds me of it.
@@evenmorebetter Thank goodness for the Taito Memories PS2 compilations released in Japan all those years ago, over 4 volumes it has Bubble Bobble, Rainbow Islands, Rainbow Islands Extra, Puzzle Bobble 2, Bubble Symphony, AND Bubble Memories.
Electromagnetic bubbles,so many plasmatic powers. Those doors contains electrogravitacional vortexes. Knowledge is power, electromagnetism is the main nature force.
Just stopping by to watch this game again, but timeline wise, this is considered the last game in the series. Though to be honest, Parasol Stars would seem to be, as it has a final villain demon who spawns Bubble Bobble and Rainbow Islands enemies at you. But nope, Taito considers this game the Grand Finale of the series in timeline. And to this day, I have only seen 1 playthrough a few years ago that managed to find the helper character Peppl (from Yu Yu Quiz Go Go, he is on the second list of cameo helpers in the game), I have yet to ever run into him.

@@codemania2492 Taito are the original creators to this game, Ving ported the game to Saturn. Also why must you post such short lines, and so many at a time.
It's a prototype that is 1 level shy of being complete, but is so buggy and unstable that it's only claim is, at least they tried. Virgin did the PS1 port, and going by what I played of it, it probably would've been inferior to the Saturn port, done by Ving, who had a great track record with Taito arcade ports (except Chase HQ + SCI, which they royally screwed up). I tested the game with an emulator that allowed you to input Gameshark cheats, and you had to avoid certain powerups, or the game would crash (to a nice sprite viewer nonetheless). Once you finish the second to last level, the game would display a message, something about a dirty CD keeping the game from accessing the last level, yet it was an ISO that was being played.
Hyper Drunk, the guy known to western gamers are Dreg or Grumple Gromit (sounds too much like vomit, why Nintendo of America, why call him that). He even throws liquor bottles at you in the original game in all versions.
Not noise, quite colorful game that wanted you to hear the sounds it put out. The music is absolutely beautiful for this game, the colors absolutely pop, and the noises are all audio cues (laser sounds, bubbles popping, time running out in a level klaxon), all serving their purpose quite well.
