Summary

[WiiWare] A simple yet exhilarating action game where you control the bubble blowing dragons Bub and Bob, trapping enemies in bubbles and then popping them. You can play all 100 of the Standard Mode rounds, which faithfully recreate the nostalgic arcade game, or try 100 new Arrange Mode rounds, which allow up to four players to play on stages with exciting new features such as new enemies and stage layouts. There are also Super Mode rounds for you to enjoy. Obtain the true ending by solving puzzles hidden on each stage to defeat the final boss. You can also play Ranking Mode where you compete with players from around the world to get the highest score by registering your scores via Nintendo WFC for each game mode. On top of all that, you can enjoy a further 100 rounds, facing off against new boss characters by purchasing the "Expert Mode 1" and "Expert Mode 2" add-on content. [Nintendo]

Wii Brasil

Different from the American distributor, Taito knows how to raise the value of its WiiWae titles: knowing the original NES version may be bought by 500 Nintendo Points, they have launches Plus! with double stages, multiplayer, new items, enemies and songs, besides the better graphs, chart of points and a collectible catalogue for only 100 additional points.

Nintendo Life

On the surface Bubble Bobble Plus! looks like a simple remake of the original arcade game, but a ton of new levels and a few new gameplay elements make it a far superior experience, which is worth buying even if you already bought the NES game.

The classic gets some well implemented new features that extend but don't overwhelm the original.

Official Nintendo Magazine UK

Much better value than the straight NES port. [June 2009, p.88]

Hardcore Gamer Magazine

Bubble Bobble Plus is a decent update, but the 23-year-old is still the better game. [Summer 2009]

NintendoWorldReport

Bubble Bobble Plus would be the ultimate Bubble Bobble experience, were it not marred by the lack of any kind of save or password feature. It’s enjoyable, no doubt, until you realize that you have to start at stage 1 every time you start it up.

Gameplayer Sweden

While the gameplay at its core remain faithful enough to the oh so loveable original the presentation is severely flawed. Add some technical issues to the mix and what you get is a product that feels as cheap as it feels soulless.
