If you haven’t made any New Year’s resolutions yet, allow Nintendo to suggest a few: pop more bubbles, battle more medieval beasts and try to save the universe a little more often. New releases for New Year’s Eve:
Bubble Bobble – NES – 1988 – 500 Wii Points
Bubble Bobble’s release in 1986 introduced the two bubble dragons, Bub and Bob, and brand new play mechanics, with players defeating enemies by trapping them in bubbles and then popping them. (Developed by Taito)
Light Crusader – Genesis – 1995 – 800 Wii Points
Each day, more good townspeople of Green Row have been mysteriously disappearing, and beleaguered King Weeden summons the knight Sir David to investigate.
