Compre este juego meramente por nostalgia dado que en tiempos de arcade, la primera version era la que jugaba siempre y completaba con una sola moneda. He de decir, que estoy contenta porque es basicamente el mismo juego con algunas mejoras como el audio por ejemplo, me gusto mucho la musiquita. Me hubiera gustado que viniera incluido en este pack, la primera version de puzzle bubble como la conociamos en arcades, igualmente no me desagrada para nada y estoy feliz de tener en mi coleccion un buen juego de puzzle como lo es este. Y dato adicional es que las pantallas de seleccion de modo de juego estan en japones, lo demas en ingles, cosa que en muchos casos asi fue tambien en arcades.

S-Tribute = Sega Saturn Port.

Habiendo dicho esto, no es recomendable bajo ningún aspecto el comprar este "pack" de Puzzle Bobble; la música está demasiado desfasada con todo el resto, los menús viene por default en modo ventana (y la gran mayoría en japonés aunque se cambie de idioma en las opciones), visualmente es horrendo y, si uno revisa la carpeta de juego, literal uno se da cuenta que es un emulador de Saturn que te lo están vendiendo por sobre los 10usd.

Ni siquiera comprable en oferta.

Tan zarpados, ojalá algún día traigan el 4.
(Respecto a estos 2 y 3, no conozco en detalle los originales y no puedo opinar respecto a los modos de juego que faltan).

Pensé que los finales de los personajes en puzzle bobble 3 serian animaciones cortas estilo anime, algo asi como las de megaman 8, pero siguen siendo solo imagenes estaticas sin color. Asi mismo los personajes siguen viendose muy pixelados, nisiquiera les mejoraron las graficas para que se vieran mejor.

This game is missing content. This seems to be the saturn port, which doesn't include the popular Win Contest mode. You cannot unlock any characters in Bust-a-move '99, and the 1025 Collection mode has the list menu, rather than the much better numbered menu. This port is missing the biggest feature that attracts old players to it. Also no steam remote play? So I can't even play this online with my friends, at this point, save the $13 if this is a beloved classic for you, and wait until City Connection updates the game to include the features that make this worth buying over simply emulating. When emulation and the addition of fightcade have more features than the official re-release, you need to do better.

This release is bad.

1. The menu screen is window mode only, and you can only use the analogue stick for navigation, however, in game, you can only use the d-pad?
   
   
2. The sound goes out of sync, often, when either: a) changing games, or b) loading a save state. And it is out of sync by several seconds!
   
   
3. The letterboxed wallpapers are half-arsed, ugly images, with no option to turn them off.
   
   
4. The achievements do not cover a lot of the included games content. E.g., the different routes on challenge mode, or collection mode in BUST-A-Move 3. And the achievements which they did bother making are all trivial to earn.
   
   
5. Annoyingly, when the "Get an 'Excellent' rank in Challenge Mode." Achievements is earned, the "good" and "average" versions of it are not also unlocked, therefore, you will have to play intentionally bad to unlock them.
   
   
6. The "rewind" feature is not a rewind feature, it is a collection of save states which one can pick from, rather than a button which actually rewinds the game.

I'm going to be completely honest with Everyone here, this game is not worth buying.
Why? Because the game is missing the biggest feature of Puzzle Bobble 3, win contest.
The game isn't that fun without it. i can't even play as my favorite character (dreg, Drunk) because of this decision.
i can't even play VERY HARD mode.. Because those modes only exist on the PLAYSTATION or PC versions of the game, not the SATURN version..

The only battles you have in the game are Normal & Hard mode, but as an experienced player, that's not enough.
that's why WIN CONTEST is WAAAAAAY more fun and challenging!

Not even steam remote play to invite friends to play with you?

I'm very disappointed with this release.

[updated review] The games are nice and I discovered that they start in windowed mode, but pressing the option button on the controller you can open the option menu and set it to run full screen. Now I like it.

Puzzle Bobble is my all time favourite game, but these ports are not up to scratch.The sidebars are very annoying (especially in windowed mode) but the sound effects are also of bizarrely poor quality (the music is fine). As others have said bits are missing as the result of apparently focusing on the Saturn version which no one has cause to be particularly nostalgic about.Hopefully updates will get this up to standard, because these games deserve it.

Bust-a-Move 2 is a competitive sport in my family and we do not bow to anyone.

Hours of fun and nightmarish torture beating your friends and family, now returned for the modern age!
