Taito's bubble shooter, and one of the most comfortable games on the machine.

Puzzle Bobble on a handheld with a precise stick is a straightforward good time, and this conversion does not overreach. It was one of the six titles on shelves for the North American retail launch on 6 August 1999.

It carries the title Puzzle Bobble Mini in Japan, which is a useful thing to know when browsing imports.

Before you buy

The Japanese title difference gives you a clean relabelling check — a cartridge labelled Bust-a-Move Pocket that boots into Puzzle Bobble Mini is an import wearing a false label.
