Bubble Bobble Old & New GBA... where did this come from?

[Geddon_jt]

Was browsing my local Gamestop today and saw Bubble Bobble Old and New out on GBA at $19.99. I had heard about this game when it came out in Japan, but I had *no idea* it was coming out over here.

Looks like a lot of fun, needless to say, I snagged it.
The EB next door couldn't even find it in their system, and I can't find it on their website.

Anyone else pick this one up? Or even knew about it coming out over here?

New?

Yeah, I found a copy over the weekend at Gamestop. $20 new is a great price. I like how you can hit L to zoom in and out during the game. It would be nice if the Item Library would tell you the point value and functions of the items, though.

Shit... I was hoping to keep this game's existence secret until I bought it. Yes, apparently, this game came out here in the states for a nice $20 price. It is very fun and it even saves your progress!

future rare title?

[Ed Oscuro]

$20, hallmark of the rares? Maybe!

I know it came out here in the UK at a budget price of £20 with a free link cable. It came out about a year or so ago. I have it, I just haven't got around to playing it really - maybe I'll have a wee shot now you've inspired me!
