Bubble Bobble NEO headed to Xbox LIVE Arcade photo

According to a rating found on Germany's USK ratings board Web site, Taito is set to bring a title called Bubble Bobble NEO to the Xbox 360. 

Previously rumors floating around the Internet have indicate the game would be coming to Xbox LIVE Arcade, and would be high-definition update of the classic 1986 arcade title. The game is said to feature a classic mode, a new "Arrange Mode," as well as versus mode for up to four players. 

While this should officially remain a "rumor" until the game's official announcement, we're fairly confident we'll be seeing Bubble Bobble NEO come to Xbox LIVE Arcade within a few months.

There is that new Bubble Bobble WiiWare game also. I wonder if this is similar? Either way, sounds like we'll be getting some hot Bubble Bobble love in the not to distant future.

On the one hand I love Puzzle Bobble.

On the other hand after Puzzle Bobble 4, I could never go back to playing the older games. I can't go back!

Wait, Bubble Bobble? Meh, that game sucks :P

I would have gotten this on WiiWare, but, since it has yet to materialize, (in the U.S.) I will get this on XBLA day one.

never got into bubble bobble, but bust-a-move, man bub and bob were my best of pals at those pizza parties back in the day, I think my initials are still on that machine, although I doubt i'd want to play bust-a-move on a greasy decade old pizza places arcade machine now. but thankfully my ds has helped me get my daily dose of bustonium (an essential vitamin).
