Bubble Bobble Wii, the downloadable remake-plus of one of Taito's best arcade games, should be available one of these weeks in Japan and eventually overseas. Bubble Bobble fanatic Karen Chu has a lot to say about Famitsu's screenshots:
Observation #1:
First off, I'm sorry, the new Bubble Bobble dinosaurs are fug. I dare say they're even panda-dogs. My main complaint is that the top-most dinosaur spike/sagittal crest is way too prominent so it looks like a giant spike. Head spikes are for lowly henchman foes in 8-bit video games. They're like the Red Shirts of the monster squad. Bubble Bobble dinos are heros, goddammit, and they deserve to be cute and likable.
Mostly I just wanted to agree with this point publicly. Seriously, look at those things. That is not cute.
