Bubble Bobble 4 Friends – at least theyre getting work again

After years in the wilderness theres finally going to be a new Bubble Bobble game, with a four-player sequel coming to Switch.

Bubble Bobble 4 Friends is a four-player co-op game for Switch and will be out in Europe on 19 November, which unusually is earlier than the spring 2020 release date for America.
