I tried playing ``Puzzle Bobble Everybubble!'' on Nintendo Switch, which has cute characters and addictiveness that makes me lose sight of the ending.
`` Puzzle Bobble Everybble! '', which allows you to play Taito's puzzle game ``Puzzle Bobble'' on Nintendo Switch, will be released on Wednesday, May 24, 2023.

This is 'Puzzle Bobble Everybubble!'
Let's set it up on Nintendo Switch and start playing.
You can see what it feels like to actually play 'Puzzle Bobble Every Bubble!' from the following movie.
Choose your character and start the game. Each character has a different appearance and voice, but there are no unique abilities, so just choose the character you like.
``Puzzle Bobble Every Bubble!'' is about the main characters, Bubbles, saving Rainbow Island, which has suddenly become full of bubbles.
The basic rules of the game are to aim with the left stick, throw a bubble with the A button, and connect 3 bubbles of the same color to make them disappear.
Three connected bubbles burst, and 'Chak-kun', who was trapped inside the bubbles, was rescued.
Bubbles reflect off walls, so you can throw them in places you can't aim directly.
Rescue all Chakkun and clear the stage. Clear goals are set for each stage, such as releasing all Chakkun and erasing all bubbles.
Press the B button to switch to the next bubble.
The key to 'Puzzle Bobble Every Bubble!' is a system called 'chigiri' that allows you to erase the bubble at the base and all the bubbles that are supported by it. When you wipe out a large amount of bubbles with a tear, the character you control will cheer and be happy.
The system is simple, but the presence of special bubbles with various effects makes the game deep. For example, this is a 'Star Bubble' that erases all the bubbles you hit.
There is also a ``Bomb Bubble'' that lets you erase surrounding bubbles by hitting them.
These special bubbles can be stocked by tearing them, and can be activated at any time by switching hands with the Y button.
Game modes include ``Story'' where you clear stages in order, ``Versus'' where you can play with other people locally or online, and ``Puzzle Bobble vs. Invaders'', a mini-game in collaboration with Space Invaders.
By adding a CPU when selecting a character, you can play cooperatively with multiple players without having to play with others.
What I felt when playing 'Puzzle Bobble Everybubble!' was how addictive it was. As for the genre, it is classified as a falling object puzzle like 'Puyo Puyo', but if anything, the emphasis is on eliminating bubbles one after another with quick judgment rather than chain aiming and precise operation. Therefore, it is easy to get addicted to, similar to Tetris. On the other hand, there are scenes where you are required to make full use of special bubbles, or to use techniques such as leaving bubbles that cannot be erased and erasing them all at once, so the game has both simple rules and depth. Masu.
