Look, if you've never played Bubble Bobble before, you need to. It may be one of the cutesiest games ever created by man, but it's also one of the best co-op action games of all time. Regardless of your level of fondness for the series, you should know that Taito has announced (translation) that Bubble Bobble Neo will be arriving on Xbox Live Arcade on August 5, which appropriately coincides with the release of TMNT: Turtles in Time Re-Shelled, another retro remake. As Siliconera notes, August 5 may be the date for Japan only, but almost all XBLA games have simultaneous worldwide releases.
The game will be priced at 800
($10)
. If Neo is anything like the recently released Bubble Bobble Plus on WiiWare (we're guessing it's nearly identical), then we can tell you it's worth every penny. As for the planned DLC, we'll wait and see.
