Bubble Bobble Revolution (known as Bubble Bobble DS in Japan) is a game in the Bubble Bobble series for the mh:awesomegames:Nintendo DS, It was co-developed by Dreams and Taito, and released by Taito in 2005. It was published by Rising Star Games and Atari for Europe and mh:awesomegames:Codemasters in 2006 for America. The game also includes a port of the original mh:awesomegames:Bubble Bobble.

Gameplay
Bubble Bobble Revolution comes with two main game modes: "Classic" and "New-Age".

"Classic" mode is a conversion of the original mh:awesomegames:Bubble Bobble to the DS hardware. As Bub or Bob, players must make their way through 100 single-screen levels where they must defeat a certain number of enemies to go to the next level. If any enemy touches the player, a life is lost.

The game's multiplayer feature has also been implemented, which can only be accessed if two players have a copy of the game.

"New-Age" mode plays like "Classic", but the characters and levels are larger, with enemies and projectiles moving faster. Every 10th level has a boss fight. Bub and Bob both can take three hits instead of one, and have various bubble power-ups. Some levels have fans that players can activate by blowing into the DS's microphone.

Unlike "Classic", New-Age has a four-player competitive multiplayer mode where players compete to get the most points across ten different levels.

Why It's Not A Revolution

 * 1) The game is infamous in the USA for featuring a glitch that renders most of the game unplayable. In all US copies of the game, the boss at Level 30 is missing, preventing the player from moving forward.
 * 2) * However, it feels like the game is half-finished, Sound familiar?
 * 3) Plain annoying sound effects, compared to the original game, they're so much worse and hurt your ears.
 * 4) Enemies and their projectiles move are faster, that makes the game very hard.
 * 5) Bad graphics, the Bubble Dragons and enemies in the game aren't designed very good.
 * 6) The levels aren't designed well enough to give players a sense of control over their environment.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The remixed classic Bubble Bobble theme music is surprisingly great.
 * 2) Thankfully, the USA-1 version fixed this problem, boss was present at level 30.
 * 3) It is very first Bubble Bobble game featuring 4-player competitive multiplayer mode, the 4-player mode would later go on to appear in other Bubble Bobble games, such as Bubble Bobble Plus! and Bubble Bobble 4 Friends.

Reception
The game was criticized by both game critics and Bubble Bobble fans for the glitched level 30. On Metacritic, it holds a rating of 38/100 ("generally unfavorable reviews"), IGN rated it a 3.5/10, and GameSpot gave a 3.6/10.

Some fans considered it as the worst Bubble Bobble game of the all-time.
