C&C Commander's Challenge looks pretty intersting

I am having a hard time trying to figure out what this C&C Commander's Challenge really is. Almost sounds like Tower Defense.

Bubble Bobble will consume your soul if you let it sink it's teeth into you.

Commander's Challenge looks like the expansion pack they released on PC where you have a series of quick challenges with unusual requirements or restrictions.

For 800 points, it looks like a lot of fun.

Is this "Bubble Bobble" a remake of the original? Or a new game?

[Demo_Boy]

Bubble Bobble was fun when I played it in the 80s, But please stop with the mame shovelware.

Really? Bubble Bobble is one of those games that was so much fun that I'm happy to hear about a 1080 remake like Galaga or Super Puzzle Fighter. I'd like even more of these.

I would be pretty excited about Bubble Bobble for the usual 400 points. 800 for a classic arcade port isn't acceptable.

Bubble Bobble was fun when I played it in the 80s, But please stop with the mame shovelware. Its a new game with two new characters and 3D models, not just mame shovelware. Just saying.

On price, I totally agree.

[Pajawa]

I <3 Bubble Bobble, but 800 points is pretty steep. Still, looks like I'll be picking it up anyway. I've been waiting for a decent Bubble Bobble game since I heard the PSP remake was crap.

[Earth Djinn]

So the Red Alert thing is an arcade game?

Cause the description makes it seem like DLC.

Bubble Bobble will consume your soul if you let it sink it's teeth into you.

I can't wait ... one of my all-time fave NES games! :D
