Play Bubble Bobble 2 (Japan) Online
Hop around as Bub and Bob again, trapping goofy monsters in bubbles before popping them—just like the old days, but with weirder secrets tucked into pastel levels. That music rush when you're down to the last enemy never gets old.
Bubble Bobble 2 came out for the NES in 1993, developed by Taito. It arrived late in the system's life, when many players were already moving on to the 16-bit consoles, but it offered a polished, familiar take on the arcade formula. The game builds directly on the original's foundation, with the same core mechanics and visual style, but it introduces new stages and a few twists to keep things interesting.
You control either Bub or Bob, the bubble-blowing dinosaurs, as you work through screen after screen of enemy-filled rooms. Your goal is to clear each area by trapping every foe in a bubble, then popping them to collect fruit and other items for points. The game retains the original's methodical, screen-by-screen progression, but the level designs feel more elaborate, with more hidden warps and secret exits to discover. The pacing is brisk, and the difficulty ramps up steadily, demanding quick reflexes and smart bubble placement. It feels like a natural, slightly expanded continuation of the first game's cheerful, puzzle-oriented action.
